I was sitting here watching an old episode of Andy Griffith with Buddy Epson as a guest star and was thinking about how the plot would be considered trite in todays "woke" society. Buddy was a tramp who was leading Opie down a bad path and chose in the end to remedy that by using himself as a bad example. The stark contrast in light of modern morals is a sad state in my opinion.
Buddy Ebsen.
Epsom salts.
When did that sow take place, like in the 1400s? :)
Epson printers
I am sure Andy Griffith didn’t believe in any of it and only did it for the paycheck, since he is a raving leftist like most of Hollywood ...
I’ve still got an MX-80 in the basement. I’m not sure why. I should probably toss it the next time we have electronics recycling around here.
Yeah but at least he did it. Today’s woke actors would turn down the script on its face value.
One of my favorite episodes! Today, Buddy would be an illegal alien collecting welfare.
Opie would be at home all day playing video games with no desire to play “Robin Hood” as he does in the episode but instead would spend his time at school protesting Climate Change and idolizing Greta Thunberg.
Andy would designate Mayberry as a sanctuary city so hands off the undocumented immigrant.
Aunt Bee would be an employee at the Mayberry Planned Parenthood. Barney would be fired for trying to arrest Buddy.
Floyd’s would now be a Starbucks.
Mrs Crump would be organizing Mayberry 1st LGBTQ parade on Main Street of which Gomer is the Grand Marshall.
The open would no longer have Opie throwing a stone into the lake and about to go fishing. He would instead be planting trees wearing a tie dye shirt and Birkenstocks.
Theme song is “This Land is Your Land” by Woody Guthrie
“There’s no better day than tomorrow to start a job.” :-)
There have been three Nancy Drew series that I have seen and I liked them all. I noticed a new one begins tonight.
I will not even begin to watch it. It will almost certainly contain every liberal idea extant.
Nip it Ange, nip it in the bud.
If you mean hilary I think it was just a bit later.
A sort of left co-worker saw the new Nancy Drew and was taken back by the implication of sexual affairs on the show.
My husband hoards old electronic bits, too.
*snicker*
SOW!!!
lol!!
Good one!!
An early black and white episode of Beverly Hillbillies has Jed instructing Ellie May that just because she can outrun, outfight, and outshoot every boy she is still a girl. And she can’t change that fact any more than a chicken can change into a cow.
