The only time I remember anything GLBT is the one episode where Miss Kay hired a photographer to do a family portrait of her, Phil her husband of 48 years and their two dogs. Phil sort of rolled his eyes at the guy but that was about it. Maybe two sentences.
There is no canned laughter because it doesn't need it. At the beginning, the producers would bleep a word until Phil told them to stop it because no one was cussing. If the producers suggest a plot, they won't do it unless it's what they'd normally be doing.
Yes, I do believe Billy Graham would approve. Phil is a born again Christian and speaks at churches. All the sons are married. Alan, the oldest, is a preacher. Willie and his wife adopted two minority children and are foster parent advocates. Jase claims he saved himself for marriage. Uncle Si, a Viet Nam vet, is addicted.... to tea. At the end of every episode, family and friends gather around the dinner table as Phil says grace.
This is one show parents don't have to cringe when the kids are in the room. This is one show kids should be watching. Phil and Kay's grandkids are respectful, say yes sir and no sir and there's not a potty mouth in the bunch. It's all about good wholesome family values and togetherness. Heck, The Andy Griffith Show is controversial compared to DD.
May not be much in the big picture but it sure did mean a whole lot to the family.
I stand corrected. my apologies to all, yes I was to cynical, came across it yesterday (by what I thought was a accident) watched a couple episodes
Show has possibilities, all very likable.
The young daughter is going to be a rare beauty...waiting for in Jesus Name, but like the poster said, they did on one occasion
