THROUGH THE MAGIC OF TVLAND, YOU CAN WATCH TV SITCOMS FROM THE
"HONEYMOONERS" OF THE 1950'S RIGHT UP TO THE PRESENT DAY. YOU CAN SEE A
GRADUAL DETERIORATION IN THE CHARACTERS' BEHAVIOR, BY THE TIME YOU GET TO
"ROSEANNE" AND "MARRIED WITH CHILDREN", OLD FASHIONED VALUES HAVE ALL BUT
DISAPPEARED. THERE'S ALMOST NO VALUE SYSTEM AT ALL. NOTHING IS ANYONE'S
FAULT, AND THE CHARACTERS NEVER TAKE RESPOSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS. AND NO
IS EVER "ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES". ONE THING ABOUT TAGS, ANDY AND AUNT BEE
NEVER HESITATED TO TELL OPIE OR EVEN OTHER ADULTS WHEN THEY SHOULD BE
ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. BECAUSE BAD BEHAVIOR BY ONE PERSON REFLECTS ON THE
WHOLE FAMILY...SO LIKE ANDY SAYS..."ACT LIKE SOMEBODY..."
(OK, I'LL GET OFF MY SOAPBOX.)
