I was watching the Dennis the Menace show from the early 60s on Prime and noticed that it was rated PG13. I was curious as to how this could possible be rated PG13 and it said alcohol use, language, and smoking. That isn’t as crazy as a modern day/gen z warning I saw for Leave it to Beaver that mentioned that “it had outdated norms and it shows all white people”. In the 50s, white people made up over 90 percent of the country so the Cleaver family “reflected the world around them”. Heck, even today a traditional white nuclear family is a much better reflection of an American family than what Hollywood reflects which is some lgbt heavy neighborhood in California or NY.

They had a long bunch of simping apologizing before a showing of "The Shakiest Gun in the West" the other day, too.
It features bossy squaws and Pat Morita.
That is one Don Knotts movie I haven’t seen. I want to. I did see Mr Limpet. Reminds me of how they say they need to “contextualize” Gone with the Wind
