And so the show ended up being the opposite of kind of what it was intended to be.
That happened later in the 80s.
That happened with a show called Family Ties, which was, again, it was a very similar thing, which it was these two parents, baby boomer parents.
in the 80s.
And they were like super, you know, it was very left-wing producers who made the show and the characters were like super proper left-wing progressives.
And then there was this character in the show, Michael J. Fox, their son, who was this teenage kid.
And he played the, I forget the name, I'm blanking on the name of the character, but he played the son.
And the son basically was a Reagan Republican as a teenager.
Right.
And literally the son would like wear like sport jackets and ties to school and carry a briefcase.
And they kind of wanted to make him into like a stereotype of like basically, you know, sort of a weird Republican, you know, kind of weirdo.
And again, the same sort of weird thing happened, which is actually the Michael J. Fox character became.
Oh, Alex, Alex Keaton was Alex was the character's name, Alex B. Keaton.
You know, he essentially became became the star of the show.
And so I bring up both of those shows because you can see in those shows, you can see the culture wars of the 70s, which were actually like super intense.
You can see the culture wars of the 80s, which were super intense.
You go back before that and you have the Vietnam War and all the campus protests and the civil rights movement and all the riots and all the forced, you know, everything, you know, dropping the 101st Airborne into, you know, rural, you know, the rural South to, you know, basically, you know, desegregate the schools at literally at gunpoint.
You go back before that, you have the Cold War, you know, you had the Red Scare, you know, what's now known as the Red Scare, but you had, you know, communists all through the U.S.
government and you had all kinds of freak outs about that.
You had the risk of nuclear annihilation.
