My parents enjoy Taylor Sheridan written shows like Landmare (I think it's called) and Yellowstone.

I have a strict rule. If it's modern, it can't be good.

Even just the acting style is not what I like and is just bad compared to 90s and earlier, so even if you had zero modern values, the feel of media sucks now.

But that aside, they were watching Landmare the other night and I heard some woman character on there mention something about pronouns.

Now I've seen some clips from these types of shows, like Landmare. He is against wokeness, so he'll have the main character mock that mindset.

Ok, that's better than a woke show, I'll grant you that.

But you know what's even better than that?

shows like Columbo or Andy Griffith Show. I love that no matter how many episodes of Columbo I watch, I will never run into the risk of hearing the word "pronoun" ever come out of the speakers.

To me, you can't make a truly non-woke show nowadays. Because it would take balls of steel to merely make an apolitical show like Columbo or Andy Griffith show (yes they may have subtle moments, there's a few feminist moments in Andy Griffith show, for instance, but it's balanced out with women looking foolish often as well in their feminist pursuits....it's a relative scale and it's barely a factor)

If you made a show that was exactly like Columbo or Andy Griffith show

you'd have

1. Almost entirely white cast

2. Women would act like how women were portrayed (and more accurately really are) in the 1960s and 70s. ie; irrational, emotional prone.

They simply would not write women the way a typical Columbo or Andy Griffith show episode would write women.

The short version aka the point of this rant is that I find an anti-woke modern show barely preferable to a woke modern show. They're both presenting you with wokeness, it's just the Taylor Sheridan ones mock wokeness.

I'd rather not see or be reminded of ANY wokeness, and not see any modern type characters, which is why any TV or movie I watch is typically from the 90s or earlier. If you were to make just an apolitical Columbo episode, you'd be blackballed from Hollywood just based on the racial demographics of the cast, background characters, etc and how women are portrayed.
