|This spinoff of the Jack Webb-produced series ''Dragnet'', also based on actual cases and more than one per episode, now focuses on LAPD street patrol officers Peter Malloy and James (Jim) Reed while demonstrating the same moral examples as ''Dragnet''. It was remade into a limited (Los Angeles and New York City) syndication show in 1989-1991 with unknown main players, new characters, and situations. None of the original series' three main players (Martin Milner, Kent McCord, William Boyett) ever fell victim to Hollywood Values: Milner and McCord stayed married to their same wives with whom were the only mothers of all their children between them. And despite Boyett's first marriage (1947-1950) to Willagene Wither ending in divorce, Boyett's second marriage in 1957 to Joan Amelia Reynolds lasted until his death in 2004, age 77, with nine children between them: Milner (who died in 2015 at age 83) had four, McCord had three, and Boyett (who died in 2004 at age 77) had two (with Joan) and became a grandfather twice over. The 1969 Season 2 episode, "Baby", is said to have been based on Kent McCord's own real life wife's birth of one of their own children that year.

Furthermore, the series averts feminism as positive male and female role models are present: both Chuck's sister Ellie and her eventual husband Devon/"Captain Awesome" are equally competent physicians; and CIA agent Sarah Walker, who grows from being Chuck's cover girlfriend to being his real girlfriend and eventually his wife, wants to leave the dangerous world of espionage towards the end of the series with Chuck to start a nuclear family.

When confronted with both Democrats and Republicans, the President decides to kowtow to neither one; in negotiations with North Korea, he uses both the carrot and the stick. The protagonist's opponents even attempt to invoke the 25th Amendment to impeach him! In addition, after the President's character is shot, he is depicted waving to the audience on the balcony of his hospital bedroom in a similar manner to Ronald Reagan after his attempted assassination.

|Sgt. Joe Friday (Jack Webb) and his partners (Ben Romero, Ed Jacobs, and Frank Smith in the 1951 original, Bill Gannon in the 1967 revival) solving actual cases from the files of the Los Angeles Police Department (with people's names altered to protect the innocent involved in the cases inspiring each episode). The officers educate viewers in law enforcement jargon and the Rule of Law, all the while showing fine examples of moral conduct, honor of oneself and others, and sacrifice for the good of the public. The 1967 revival also included more contemporary themes, such as increased drug use in society due to the rise of the counterculture, along with hippies, leftist and racist revolutionaries and other products of the counterculture openly displaying their contempt for the law and those who enforce it, although such characters invariably pay the price by the end of each episode for their bad choices. A second revival of ''Dragnet'' was planned by Webb in 1982, with him reprising his Joe Friday role again and with ''Adam-12'' star Kent McCord cast as Friday's new partner (possibly reprising his Jim Reed role from ''Adam-12''), but the revival was shelved following Webb's death from a heart attack on December 23, 1982. In 1989, it was remade for syndication and was shown only in limited markets like Los Angeles and New York as ''The New Dragnet'' through 1991.

|This reality series portrays the lives of the Robertson family, who famously turned duck calls into the magnificent business empire Duck Commander, stand by their strong Christian beliefs, and are active hunters. Liberals despise this series so much that they conducted two ploys to damage this wholesome show's reputation. First, in the series' early days, the liberal parent network A&E censored any use of the word "Jesus" in the prayers that close most episodes. Second, in December 2013, the staunchly liberal magazine Gentleman's Quarterly (GQ) infamously tricked patriarch Phil Robertson, who founded the family business, into being open about his conservative, anti-homosexual values, which led to Phil (who is not uneducated, as he holds a master's degree in education) being suspended from appearing in further episodes for nine days. The magazine also accused Phil of being racist simply because he said he never saw the mistreatment of any African American person in his younger days during the Civil Rights era. Poor Phil wasn't saying that he wasn't unaware of the prevalent race issues the 1960s but that he grew up in an area where people lived and worked in harmony regardless of skin color, so he witnessed no acts of racism ''in person''.

|This wholesome family-centered sitcom follows the suburban Stevens family in Sacramento, California, with an emphasis on the dynamic between polar opposite siblings Ren and Louis, the latter of whom, despite his slacking and prank-loving tendencies, has his heart in the right place more often than his family realizes. While its main audience is intended to be children, it had a way of appealing to the whole family. Plus, it was the first live action show of Disney Channel of the 2000s, considered to be its best decade to date. In contrast to other contemporary sitcoms, patriarch Steve is fairly competent and mature as well as a voice of reason, although he does at times become very high tense and possess a short temper (which is usually justified due to Louis's antics). Unfortunately, this decade was followed by Disney Channel shows that are less classy, more obscene, politically correct and produced in formulaic, cookie-cutter fashion.

|In this Quinn Martin-produced science fiction series, architect David Vincent (played by Roy Thinnes) discovers a flying saucer landing outside an abandoned diner one night and attempts, often in vain, to warn the public about the alien invaders (who almost perfectly resemble human beings, save for a few distinguishing quirks - most notably a crooked pinky finger on each hand that the aliens are unable to bend) and their plans to infiltrate Earth society, take the planet over and annihilate its human population.
  −
  −
The show's sci-fi format and alien invasion premise thinly veiled its political theme, particularly real-life concerns about the Communist invasion and infiltration of American society taking place during the [[Cold War]] (with the aliens serving as a analog of Communist spies and sleeper agents), demonstrated in the aliens' methods, very similar to the Communists' own ''modus operandi''; the use of lies, deceit and [[disinformation]] to fool officials and other members of the public, as well as [[discrediting attack|discrediting]], [[brainwashing]], [[mind control]] and violence to deal with anyone who has found out about the aliens' existence to keep them from stopping the aliens from executing their diabolical plans.  A two-part sequel miniseries, with Thinnes reprising his role as a now-older David Vincent and also starring Scott Bakula as Nolan Wood (who takes up Vincent's mantle of warning mankind about the alien invasion of Earth), aired on Fox in 1995.

This show is notable for producing a popular internet meme based on the song "We are Number One" from the penultimate episode as part of a GoFundMe campaign to help Robbie's actor, Stefan Karl Stefansson, recover from pancreatic [[cancer]] in 2016.

Many characters from ''The Andy Griffith Show'', including Aunt Bee, Goober Pyle, Clara Edwards, Howard Sprague and Emmett Clark, also appear as regulars on this series. ''Mayberry RFD'' spent its first two seasons at #4 in the Nielsen ratings and was still popular when CBS abruptly cancelled it in 1971 as part of its infamous Rural Purge.

|Despite having a homosexual character (he's only a minor character though, and doesn't come out until later in the series; his homosexuality is also often used as a point of humor), the show is clean cut pro-family sitcom, which has been lacking in the 21st century. As the kids grow up, they become more mature and learn the importance of taking on more responsibilities. Conservative actress Patricia Heaton stars as family matriarch Francis "Frankie" Heck, who also narrates the series.

|A show in which High School age teenagers are selected by Zordon to become Power Rangers to fight against the forces of Rita Repulsa. Unlike teenagers in most modern media, the Rangers are very moral, mature, and responsible and never demonstrate [[Hollywood values]]. They take their jobs as Rangers very seriously, acting like mature adults, showing a very adult level of responsible autonomy, and are also proactive in their community. They are regularly shown practicing voluntary [[Charity]]. Many episodes teach children about the value of maturity, responsibility, friendship, hard work, and many other positive themes. The show also takes divorce seriously as Kimberly is shown to be very hurt by her parents being divorced, in stark contrast to Hollywood's trivial and frivolous attitude toward divorce. Jason David Frank, who played Tommy Oliver (the Green Ranger and later White Ranger) became a Christian in 2001 after the death of his older brother Erik Frank <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iniP4d5GEY</ref>.  Starting with the fourth season, ''Power Rangers Zeo,'' each season would have a different name.  In 2010, the first 32 episodes of the first season were "enhanced" by Disney and aired as a "re-versioning".

|In this live-action sitcom adaptation of the Archie Comic, Sabrina Spellman may be a witch, but the show does not glorify witchcraft. Instead, it celebrates [[family]] and teaches such Christian morals as honesty and individualism. As the title young witch, played by Conservative Christian actress Melissa Joan Hart, gains control over her powers, she learns that a reward is only good and enjoyable if it is earned. Beth Broderick and Caroline Rhea portray Sabrina's aunts, Hilda and Zelda Spellman, while Nick Bakay voices the warlock Salem Saberhagen, who was punished for trying to take over the world by being transformed into a talking house cat.

|An anthology showcase series for the works of famed businessman and animator [[Walt Disney]], as well as being directly hosted by the man himself, it was the first of its kind and arguably the most successful version of its kind. It is also the second-longest running primetime show, behind the ''Hallmark Hall of Fame''. It showed various Disney films and even showed some new stuff from the then-recently released Disneyland, including episodes like The Liberty Story, an anthology episode composed of the live action and animated Greatest Conservative Movies ''Johnny Tremain'' and ''Ben and Me'', both of which dealt with the founding of the country. Even when liberal Michael Eisner took over Disney, he largely kept the conservative elements of the show intact. It was ultimately cancelled on December 24, 2008 due largely to Disney having expanded its influence to other channels outside ABC, including the Disney Channel. Coincidentally, it both began and ended on a Wednesday.
