Hey Jazz, it seems you have him all figured out and pegged.
What's the harm in giving him a chance?

My first 'what the fuck' moment happened while watching
'I dream of Jeannie', in 1967. I was eight years old hadn't learned the fuck word yet.

"Mom, this show is dumb." I proclaimed.

My parents had a 'what the fuck is this crap?' look on their faces, too.

Cheesy fun pulp fiction was a racy taboo sweet-treat, decades before this.
It paved the way for toppling the puritanical barriers of repressed sexuality.

My Mother was savvy. She would point out the shows that continued to portray
women as ditzy subjects who were happy, grateful & content
to be under the patriarchal thumb.

'All in the Family' --- We watched every episode family style.
Same with the Honeymooners. (Saturday was Walker's chicken night, Dad would go get the chicken, in time before the Honeymooners would start.

Why aren't these classics being broadcast anymore?

What television programs do you recall that would satisfy your definition of 'Substance'?
