More than nostalgia for the 1960s.

I don't really know how it happened. How what was once wholesome and where right and wrong were clearly known and shown in our culture and in the media. But then something put in motion an unwhoiesome way of thinking about things and how to see them. This is been pushing things a particular way that has landed where we are today. The shows and programs in my childhood in the 1960s and very early '70s. A lot of criticism was heaped on those shows, but they were all like the Harry Potter books and the original Star Wars trilogy. Shows like Here Come the Brides and Star Trek and Kung Fu and Bonanza. Good and wholesome, but also brave in its honesty, sincerity, vlunerability, but also capable of meeting the challenges, the bullies, and the unethical. The world, at least my world, did have what was presented in popular television programs. But then things got edgier and weirder and creepier and sleazier as if all of life is that way when it is not. I'm very glad to be watching the weekend marathon showing of Here Come the Brides this weekend. It's unfortunate that the second season got just a tad edgier from the first season even if it was able to maintain decent writing. It was the 70s. Things drastically changed in that decade and we have yet to recover. I am also surprised to see so many people who had been on Star Trek doing work on Brides. In our time, it is The Mandalorian and baby Grogu that are harkening back to the wholesome. Wholesome is the way.
