I was over my parents house earlier and they were watching a hallmark movie and it was one of the new ones, and in it the female protagonist was talking to two ladies who I thought were her friends, but they were a couple. I know hallmark had a movie already where they had two men as one of the side couples which I guess I'm not surprised since they bent the knee ever since that whole commercial. My parents stopped watching it. They are very religious and I am a Christian as well (not a perfect Christian but I try). I believe the Bible speaks against lgbt along with thousands of other things, although I believe people should live how they want as long as they aren't hurting anyone and especially in todays climate I wouldn't talk to a gay person about they Bible unless they wanted to have a theological discussion.
I used to think my parents were going overboard because they stopped watching shows with gay characters. I didn't mind a gay side character here or there and even watched Torchwood (fast forwarded through romantic scenes). Now I've reached a point that I'm so tired of "representation" with lgbt, black people (the ones that peddle the everything is racist nonsense), females, and usually any show with hispanics nowadays has to push open borders. I will say that the best gay character I've seen would probably be Warehouse 13, but that was before you were constantly inundated about the need for "representation".
I guess I was disappointed with Hallmark because they took flack for quite a few years and didn't change. It is annoying that such a small group demands so much representation and companies bend the knee. I used to say they need their own channel/streaming service but that won't be enough.
I guess I was wise to have a general rule of thumb to only watch stuff made in 2014 or prior (with few exceptions) and besides that I am reading a lot more now.
Yea I was a about to watch that til I remembered why the title sounded so familiar. It’s funny because as a kid I hated it when my parents or grandparents would watch stuff like Leave it to Beaver, Andy Griffith Show, Little House on the Prairie, or Matlock but now I watch those shows a lot.
My parents are the same way now which is ironic as they too hated those shows when they were young liberals.
That’s true when you look at it that way. Although I saw him not needing a gun as part of the small town charm. I remember as a kid my older relatives would tell me they could leave the doors unlocked when they were young.
There were few black people in Mayberry
I don’t have a problem with black ppl as I am mostly black. My beef is with the ones who constantly are whining about oppression in modern times or people like some of my cousins who act like nothing has changed in America since 1776 and when I ask them why they dont move somewhere in Africa (they have the money) they get upset I asked. It seems like any show with black ppl now has to touch upon certain talking points. Same with modern day female led shows. I loved Cosby Show, Sanford and Son, Jefferson’s, and the list goes on.
Yea in Andy Griffith there were black extras and I remember an episode where Opie’s football coach was black. Sam had a black neighbor if I remember correctly in Mayberry RFD.
Sounds like a Twilight Zone chapter
