    Seems to me that Fritzi would more likely be remembering Father Knows Best, Leave It to Beaver, Andy Griffith, A Date with Judy, My Little Margie, Our Miss Brooks, The Anne Suthern Show, The Goldbergs, Life of Riley, Sgt. Preston, Dick Van Dyke Show, Danny Thomas, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, The Cisco Kid, Stagecoach and Bonanza, to name a few.

    We got some of those here. They can’t have wiped all the classic tv programmes can they? The BBC and ITV were both very shortsighted and did wipe some wonderful recordings but every now and then something that was thought to have been lost gets rediscovered in someone’s attic or garage.

    Creativity was lost years ago. However, if people would not watch these dumb shows then maybe the various producers would get the message. But hey many of the good shows live on in DVD format.

    You are all missing the point. I don’t recognise those titles here in the UK, but I do recognise the sentiment. Fritzi is becoming the loss of ethics and morality. The media types know that we become what we watch.It’s bread and circuses for the masses. The bread is adulterated and the circuses are degraded.

    Sadly, programs on TV just seem to get worse every year. Fortunately, there are other things that get better every year, like Aunt Fritzi! She gets hotter every year.

    Aunt Fritz, there is a serious lack of writing ability today and people do not read. To be creative you have to be educated.

    Reality t.v. is cheaper than hiring writers, actors etc. This is the way of this country nowadays.

    @ iangoodson, spot on! I recognize the connections:

    1. “Kardashians”- “Family Ties”(one family is dysfunctional in many ways, one family is united, even with all the diffs.)2. “Honey Boo Boo”- “Eight is Enough”(former is the definition of exploitation, indulgence, etc. and the latter focused on keeping the children/growing adults well grounded and ‘protected’.)3. “Teen Mom”- “Facts of Life”(Teen Mom shows teen girls indulging in early ‘child care’/child bearing, and the limiting of potential in life, Facts of Life had teen girls who blossomed into adults who seemed, for the most part, well adjusted, and set to fulfill ambitions and life life and not become teen parents who sold themselves short….)

    Not to mention that since Fritzi is a little updated, working with today’s technology and things, this could relate to those brought up on 80s shows like Family Ties and the like which can be considered the last of the modern ‘wholesome type shows’ so this can also be an update on the lament of the good old days which now includes the 70s and some 80s along with the 50s and 60s,where this updated Fritzi (and in relation, ‘Children of the 60s and 70s’) can lament the current degredation of the new milineum, and as was mentioned by iangoodson, the moral decay relative to the programming now portrayed and seemingly allowed/reflected in today’s culture.

    Boy, do I agree with you there! It is so disappointing to watch an episode of Andy Griffith, and find my favorite scene has been butchered, with the best lines of dialog missing.

    I guess that Fritzi has forgotten how controversial “The Facts of Life” was, back in the day.

    Well…I for one, don’t watch this new trash they call programming. Not to be a snob, but it just stinks! When they resort to using sub titles and the’re supposed to be speaking in English to begin with. they lost me! Boo on Boo-boo!

    I partly agree, but there are some very good sitcoms in modern times, like Grounded for Life and The Middle. Maybe It’s Me from 2001 was laugh-out-loud hilarious!

    And /we/ had “M*A*S*H”, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”, “All in the Family”, “The Dick van Dyke Show”, “Dobie Gillis”, and “The Honeymooners”. Sorry, Fritzi old girl, but I didn’t think much of your favorites even at the time. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the stuff today isn’t far worse. As someone remarked (I think it was Chesterton’s Father Brown), it isn’t possible to keep to one level of evil; if you don’t get better, you get worse.
