In the days of TV sitcoms (situational comedies) with a lesson, there was Lavern and Shirley, Gilligan’s Island, the Brady Bunch, Happy Days, and I Love Lucy. These were very different than today’s sitcoms or our hard to understand (nonsense) reality TV shows. Some event unfolded at the beginning and at the end of the sitcom there was a lesson of what happened to the individuals in the end: usually they made a mistake, a moral error or a stupid move and they paid for it. OK let’s talk.
Gilligan’s Island, which might even be the predecessor to the current reality show in which people are kicked off the island, had a bit of class warfare and lessons in arrogance, stubbornness, conceit and other attributes of human behavior that they were considered important. negative side of the psychological or social balance.
Another show was I Love Lucy, and on it, Lucy Ricardo was a bit shallow and sly Ricky was demeaning to women, but in a way, being able to laugh at that old show was probably showing sexist male behavior as a means. energetic way of playing it so I guess he got something right in the end, it sure beats some of the bullshit on tv nowadays – sitcoms, reality shows, etc. – but in the current period we’ve slipped into something of a Facebook nation, hopefully we can move beyond dehumanizing relationships and people in the digital quest for self-validation on social networking sites.
Oh, back to the point that I would like to make. Showing both sides of the equation on the extreme, Ricky’s disdain for Lucy’s antics and his macho macho belief that men are better than women, along with Lucy’s sly maneuvering and gossip games, we saw that these negative personality flaws made their lives more difficult, and in In the End we saw that they both meant well, but had misunderstood each other, always making up in the end.
Today these shows would be called sexist, racist, class warfare, ageism, and politically correct groups would scream, perhaps as they do Family Guy today, even though the show’s producers insist into each and every stereotype equally. Things have changed a lot on television over the years; I’m not so sure they’re for the better. I mention this because it’s often obvious when we watch people in public imitate some of the crap we all too often see on TV. Please consider all this and think about it.
