Last winter I went check out some "old movies" and didn't end up getting any. Almost every movie was about a wife having an affair. I ended up checking movies based on Austen, Dickens, and Gaskell.

Cranford is not old but it was a good movie. Definitely a chic flic but showed the positive qualities in different personalities of women. Gaskell doesn't seem to glamorize gold digging like Jane Austen does. I would not recommend Return To Cranford, it showed sodomites.

I watched some of the Old Upstairs Downstairs, when one of the servants is pregnant due to rape, the father of the home says abortion is murder. I was shocked that was in film.

Besides immortality so many shows seem to revolve around the occult too.

The father of the family confronts the grandfather of the child. Then a lawyer advises the father of the family to distance himself asap from the situation.

Season 1 Episode 7, around 12 minutes. A Cry For Help is the episode name.

I think it's episode 6, from what I can see.

Star Trek

"Boldly going where no man has gone before." That's gotta be referring to the sɛҳuąƖ revolution. Captain Kirk always getting another girl. Seemed he had one on every planet. All the girls on the crew in mini skirts. The crazy sexed up costumes for a lot of the characters.

All those landing parties were like friday night on a college campus. You know, three or four guys "go out" and the same guy, everytime, gets the girl!

Among popular 80s sitcoms, Family Ties was also very corrosive.

How so? The girls were always modestly dressed on that show. Parents were hippies but still had traditional values compared to today.

No they did not. I don't think you saw everything.

Compared to today's sitcoms the Family Ties family should be canonized.

Compared to perfection, of course they fall short. But what sit com family was perfect?

Was there some Trad sitcom from 1932 I'm forgetting about?

The parents may have been married but Family Ties is still full of trash.

Catechist99 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 03, 2013, 01:04:22 AM »

How about sitcoms with intact parents but they were dysfunctional? What better way to destroy marriage by making it look like an insane asylum?

All in The Family
Dallas
I Love Lucy
The Munsters
Keeping Up Appearances
The Addams Family
The Jeffersons

But the best show about family values was The Dukes of Hazzard. Hunkadoodle doo!!!!!!!

I've still never seen a James Bond movie.

Once in a crowd of friends they were talking about getting one, I said Isn't there a love scene? (the reason I knew I wasn't allowed to see one) and a girl replied It's James Bond there is always a woman!

I turned on the old Star Trek last year and the first episode that came on there was a very immodestly dressed woman and I believe a scene where they kissed.
