>The "rural purge" of American television networks was a series of cancellations between 1969 and 1972, (the majority of which occurred at the end of the 1970-71 television season), of still popular rural-themed shows and shows with demographically-skewed audiences. It is commonly referred to as "the year CBS killed everything with a tree in it," a phrase coined by Pat Buttram, who played Mr. Haney on CBS's Green Acres.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_purge

>>219502016Reminder that Vietnam War coverage was overwhelmingly positive until Nixon took office.
>>219502077literally no one forgot that fact.
>>219502016Are american still white outiside a few comunities?I mean, how you can make movies about whites if there isn white people to begin with..kek.
It's almost like someone wanted to get the productive people out of peaceful and comfy small towns and into crime ridden shitholes, then the small towns turn into crime ridden shitholes too.
>>219502016The modern example of this are cop shows getting cancelled because of George floyd protests
>>219502077>>219502132>>219502166These guys literally out here calling Hee Haw better than All in the Family
>>219502239All in the Family was good for all the incorrect reasons. The character you're supposed to hate was loved. Many such cases with leftoid writing.

In '71-72 CBS' programs in the top 20>Here's Lucy>GunsmokeNostalgia>Hawaii Five-0>Mannix>Medical CenterUrban Procedurals>All in the Family>Funny Face>Mary Tyler Moore>New Dick Van Dyke ShowUrban ComediesOne could argue that Here's Lucy is a legacy urban comedy and even going back to I Love Lucy her sitcoms were the formula for city life sitcoms Only Gunsmoke had a non-urban setting among top 20 shows for CBS.Amongst the other networks, top new shows included Sanford and Son, Colombo, Adam-12 and Ironside for NBC, all of which had urban settings.ABC sunk to a rough third by clinging to the 60s-modeled shows, with their biggest ratings coming from Monday Night Football, their movies of the week with the Partridge Family and Marcus Welby MD being rural hangers on and the FBI being their single top rated scripted Urban Procedural. So CBS execs were proven right, Walt was too worried about his Orlando theme park, and the 70s became the era of gritty urban procedurals and sitcoms that confronted immigration and diversity. But I Love Lucy was the OG sitcom and Urban Sitcom as I already pointed out and CBS always in a way needed to kiss Lucy's feet as she made them. Hell she built their most prominent studio.

>>219503321It was fun learning that when black people get angry, distressed, etc. that they get mindbroken into repeating the same phrase over and over. These are not serious people.

>>219502239>Variety show highlighting people with actual musical talent that survived the rural purge and ran in syndication into the 90s >Some retarded meme show that you've never actually watched a single episode of and has left no real cultural impact beyond its influence on the Family Guy intro.Yes. Hee Haw was unironically better than All in the Family.
You can still watch Beverly Hillbillies and enjoy the show. The 70s in your face Dad sitcoms like All in the Family or Maude are unwatchable.

>>219502132There are no whites in America except for the Amish. One drop rule applies and every American has a nigger in the woodpile.
you can still see rural things in reality tv, duck dynasty, alaskan bush people, ice road truckers, reality tv loves rural hicks doing weird shitwhile prestige tv is still about jews/women living in the city as if thats ground breaking stuff in 2026
