The greatest conservative television shows

Title Original run Network TV rating Description
Hand of God 2014 Amazon Originals TV MA Themes of overcoming corruption through faith in God. The main character believes he is the newly anointed Solomon following God-Given visions to take vengeance for his comatose son. Criticizes abortion, intimacy outside of marriage, drug usage, and supports family unity.
John Adams (miniseries) 2008 HBO TV rating 14 Biographical miniseries on the life of the Founding Father, based on the best selling biography by David McCullough.
The Brady Bunch 1969-1974 ABC TV rating G Wholesome sitcom, although highly unlikely, suburban Los Angeles blended family-a widow (Florence Henderson) with three daughters and a widower (Robert Reed) with three sons.
Full House 1987-1995 ABC G Family sitcom about after losing his wife to a drunk driver, a younger father has his brother in law and best friend move in with him, to help raise his three young daughters. Despite this, the importance of having a male and female parent, in still encouraged. Starting in season two Becky, (Jesse's girlfriend and later wife), becomes a mother figure for the girls. Followed by a more liberal-leaning sequel, Fuller House, which debuted on Netflix in 2016 and promotes more liberal values and politics (including the trashing of Donald Trump in the pilot episode) and shows them in a positive light, as well as looking very much like nearly every live-action Disney Channel show produced in recent years.
Family Ties 1982-1989 NBC TV rating PG Dramaedy series about how hardworking conservative children, e.g. Michael J. Fox, outsmart their liberal, ex-hippie, underachieving parents.
The Critic 1994-1995 ABC, Fox TV rating PG A comedy about a critic fed up with the terrible movies that are ruined by their Hollywood values (His catchphrase was "It stinks!"). It was released in an industry run by liberals, and that may be why it was cancelled before its time.
Last Man Standing 2011- ABC Conservative show starring Tim Allen as Mike Baxter, a marketing director for a sporting goods store chain called Outdoor Man, who strives to keep his manhood (fishing, hunting, sports and camping), and promotes conservative values (including supporting the military), in opposition to his antagonistic liberal daughter Kristin (the oldest of three daughters Mike has with his wife Vanessa) and her equally-liberal husband Ryan, who often clashes with both Mike and Vanessa over political, cultural and philosophical issues. Unlike the similar and more vehement clashes between Archie Bunker and Mike Stivic in All in the Family where the latter comes out on top due to ignorance and lack of ability to make cohesive arguments on Archie's part, however, it is the often-clueless and hypocritical Ryan who ends up on the losing end of arguments with the more well-versed and level-headed Mike. On the other hand, Mike gets along very well with his youngest daughter Eve due to them sharing similar political views and interests, as he does with Boyd, Kristin and Ryan's son and Mike's grandson (and as expected, Kristin and Ryan are not impressed that Boyd has more in common with his grandfather than with them).

Debatable whether conservative

Title Original run Network TV rating Description
The Twilight Zone 1959-1964 (original run) CBS A recurring theme is that the selfish and the self-centered eventually lose what they sought to gain; hosted by Rod Serling. Examples of conservative episodes include:
  • "The Prime Mover" (episode #57, 3/24/61)[1]
The Beverly Hillbillies 1962-1971 CBS Although silly, the show is powerful in illustrating how material possessions are not what define a person. Buddy Ebsen stars as Jed Clampbett.
King of the Hill 1997-2010 Fox TV PG Despite cartoonish nature, shows the struggle of a hardworking, traditional American family against "alternative" modern cultural movements.
Law & Order 1990-2010 NBC TV PG13 Police & court drama similar to Perry Mason in which the first halves of each episodes were the crimes, investigations and arrests of suspects and the second halves were the trials and aftermaths thereofs.
Antiques Roadshow PBS Shows the real value (financial and historical) of handcrafts and traditional, old-fashioned things and memorabilia
The Larry Sanders Show A dark comedy based around the background of a Hollywood talk show, showing a great deal of liberal and celebrity hypocrisy and mocking them for their behavior.
The Office 2005-2013 NBC TV PG Mockery of liberal ideology and political correctness in an office setting, without a liberal laugh track. The main character repeatedly encounters contradictions and absurdities as he tries to conform to liberal expectations. The show was most popular when its humor was conservative, and has declined in quality and popularity as its conservative humor has been diluted. Its later seasons were notably more liberal and offensive towards religion. Steve Carell played the main character for six years and was denied an Emmy Award by liberals every time despite being by far the funniest actor on television.
