It’s good dramatic art to see the flaws (and virtues)in every character. BTW Goldberg created a show called ‘Brooklyn Bridge’ (set in the early 1960s) which was wonderful and would certainly appeal to conservatives. It lasted barely two years.
"Brooklyn Bridge" was one of my favorite shows. It reminded me so much of my own childhood growing up in my mostly Jewish neighborhood in Chicago in the '50s-'60s.
