|Main character Captain Holt is an open homosexual in charge of the fictitious 99th police precinct in Brooklyn, New York City. To make matters worse, series regular Rosa Diaz "comes out" as bisexual in the fifth season, disregarding the fact that no clues were given about this in the first four seasons. However, their sexualities are downplayed for the most part, and this workplace sitcom seems to humanize the police in an era when liberal news media does everything it can to dehumanize the authorities. It lightheartedly teaches that the police are likeable, relatable, three-dimensional everyday people with fairly normal internal and interpersonal obstacles to overcome in a humorous fashion; and it averts the preposterous liberal assumption that the police are racist with its multiracial main cast. On top of that, a number of villains that the detectives face are drug abusers or dealers, which supports war on illegal drugs, and main character Sgt. Terry Jeffords is a devout family man who prefers to act in the best interest of his wife and daughters, whom he does not want to see him killed in the line of duty.

|''Dinosaurs''
|1991-1994
|ABC
|TV-Y7
|This work by Jim Henson of ''Muppets'' fame tells of a family of dinosaurs named the Sinclairs adjusting to suburban life after millions of years of wild living. There are Earl the father (a stubborn and bumbling ''Megalosaurus'' who works as a "tree-pusher"), Fran the mother (a down-to-earth ''Allosaurus'' who is a housewife), Robbie the son (a teenager who often questions the way dinosaurs do things like eating meat and howling at the moon), Charlene the daughter (a typical teenage girl), and the Baby (a fully-talking and rambunctious baby dinosaur who often calls Earl "Not the Mama!").
''Dinosaurs'' touches a lot of liberal subjects, from gender confusion to feminism to even socialism. An episode even has a scenario resembling people coming out as homosexuals, only that Robbie wants to be more herbivore than carnivore and eat more vegetables, which Earl sees as going against the food chain. Another episode features an in-show TV show about a dinosaur admitting that he's a "cross-eater" and says that he feels like a carnivore in an herbivore's body, which seems to be a metaphor for being transgender or a cross-dresser. The biggest subject the characters discuss throughout the series is environmentalism, from leaving forests intact to avoiding the eradication of endangered species. Sadly at the end of the series, wiping out a certain species of beetle that depends on a certain species of flower leads to the eventual extinction of the dinosaurs, who face certain doom from the resulting Ice Age.
But while the show features a lot of liberal subjects, there are also some conservative moments as well. Earl tries his best to act as the father of the household in spite of his bumbling ways, while Fran makes sure to keep the house running from the homestead. There are times when Robbie and Earl clash over ideas (like Robbie wanting to be a vegetarian instead of a carnivore), but they make up at the end of the day and support each other. At his tree-pushing job, Earl works under the supervision of his boss B.P. Richfield, a ''Styracosaurus'' and the tyrannical and greedy owner of the WESAYSO Corporation. Friendship is even upheld in "The Howling", where Robbie helps repair the friendship between Earl and his co-worker Roy (a ''Tyrannosaurus Rex'') by getting them to howl so that they can get rid of their aggression; in that same episode, Roy even gives Robbie a pencil box as a present - the same pencil box that his father had given to him on his Howling Day - because he wanted to pass it on to someone in spite of not having kids of his own, thus him seeing Robbie and the other Sinclairs as family.
