Love of country and God and our religious freedom. Seems we are going in the other direction to our detriment. I miss "Father Knows Best" all the men on TV comedies now are goofballs. Sad.
WASHINGTON, DC (CNSNews.com) - On Thanksgiving week in 1954, NBC aired a holiday-themed "Father Knows Best" that ended with the family praying before their meal, including thanking God "for the privilege of living as free men in a country which respects our freedom and our personal rights to worship and think and speak as we choose."
The Nov. 21, 1954 show featured the Anderson family: Jim and Margaret and their three children, Betty, Bud and Kathy.
In the program, the family decided to forgo a Thanksgiving meal because of scheduling conflicts. But in the end, the parents and children decide that sitting down to a Thanksgiving meal together is the best way to celebrate.
Poor Christians are so persecuted. I mean damn, it's like the longest running family drama in history (7th Heaven) wasn't exclusively about a pastor and his highly religious family and wasn't airing as recently as 2007.

My heart weeps for them.
If only 7th Heaven had actually been about Christianity. It had a feckless "Pastor"who never uttered the name of Jesus and who was dominated by his liberal feminist wife and a family that was used to showcase popular liberal themes of the day.
Ahhh, 1954, back when blacks couldn't vote, were being hosed down, needed the military escort to attend school in some places, women were essentially viewed as maids...Ahh, yes, the loving myth of the 1950s that RWNJs will always reside in. .
Liberals hate the backward, barbaric 1950s and everything that came out of them. Sad being that it was one of the greatest times to be an American for MOST people, especially in the Northern states. Yes, you had to keep your sodomy between you and your partner but it was a time when the American Dream was still achievable and people could be anything they wanted to. I don't think we will ever have those days back thanks to liberals.
Sure as long as you were a white male, you can do and be anything that you wanted to be
The show definitely promoted the traditional American values of the day.
I was never able to figure out what Carol Brady did besides rub Alice's nose in ****, but still a very good show.
Unfortunately that family could never exist today the way they did then.
America is just too screwed up.
Mike's job as an architect would have been outsourced to India, so it's anyone's guess who would have caved under the financial pressure and asked for a divorce first.
Between the current jobless recovery and the continuing decline in family income, the Bradys, with the help of some very shady bankers, likely would have refinanced their house for ten times its real value in today's market and be in the process of letting it go back to the bank.
Sam would get rich from defrauding the food stamp program while cash-poor and willing accomplice Carol would only get thirty cents on the dollar for the money he collected from her benefits card.
Alice would call Sam on an Obama phone since she would now be on permanent Social Security disability due to her allergic reaction to Tiger.
Bitter white male Greg would become withdrawn and loose all interest in the groovy chicks at school as soon as he discovered Internet porn.
It's hard to believe that in forty years we've gone so far in the wrong direction.
So sad...
The Brady Bunch never existed in the real world. It was a TV SHOW.
If my family could be compared to any TV family, the closest would be Rosanne, we were terribly far from Father Knows Best or Leave it to Beaver and the Brady Bunch was a joke. No TV families from the 50's or 60's reflected how I grew up
Yes, I'd say a mix of Roseanne and Home Improvement is the way we grew up. The kids on both shows acted more like real kids than those on TBB or FKB.
I don't believe that. Why? Because I know for a fact that humans are imperfect beings, therefore they have imperfect families and lives.
