Because liberalism is so totally in control of the entertainment industry, positive messages about religion are just not permitted anymore.
Positive messages about homosexuality are in, positive messages about religion are verboten. Liberals run the entertainment business, and their liberal views are the only ones allowed.
Today the tomboy character would be a lesbian.
I cringe to think what the next thirty years will bring.
From what I understand Blair(Lisa Whelchel) was (still is) a devout Christian during he time on the show, and would not participate in plots that involved premarital sex.
Also being the 80s, I’m not surprised that such a display of faith was a part of a popular sitcom and not shown in a negative light.
These days this show wouldn’t make it to air unless half of the girls were lesbians and already had 2 abortions.
I cringed when Mrs. Garrett blurted out in an episode that she was a Democrat. A decent lady from that part of Wisconsin should’ve been a Republican.
Just found the episode on youtube! Eve Plumb was the nun! Great episode! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzm_jRGsI-E&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I remember the facts of life very well, all of the stupid sitcoms like Maude, Laverne and Shirley , Archie bunker, the Doctor and Lawyer and cop shows were all liberal and a front runner for what we have today which equals Obama and the homosexual agenda.
While the Doctor,lawyer and cop shows depicted the real people in a society hinting at socialism, people like Laverne and Shirley , Archie bunker hinted at the people of the masses too stupid to pour water out of a boot.
And Maude, the he man of the house, David Casidy the beautiful boy that may make a man forget that he was not a girl.
Yes i watched a little of all of those shows while turning the knob trying to find something fit to watch.
After realizing how worthless i was getting by doing that i quit watching TV and have not had it in my house for over 25 years.
Did i say worthless? just to be honest i have not noticed much difference there.
Rewatch “Little House on the Prarie” if you want to see a show that has God intertwined in EVERY episode.
I remember. It ended with Jo’s realizing that she could have a real Christian life, probably as a married woman eventually, without being a nun/sister. Very sensible. Marriage is a religious vocataion, too.
