However, it’s messaging proved to be too late, as it’s ratings never broke the Nielsen top 30, while ''[[All in the Family]]'' reached number 1 in five of its nine seasons. The show’s cult following got it a poorly received variety show with the whole cast (except Eve Plumb as Jan), a miniseries featuring Marcia and Jan getting married, and a acclaimed made-for-TV Christmas movie in 1988. Following it was a 1990 continuation with a darker tone, and two theatrical movies in 1995 and 1996 respectively. Many reunions occurred in the 21st century, including an infamous one where the Brady girls are replaced with drag queens. | + | |Regarded as one of the last of the classic TV sitcoms before the [[Norman Lear]] era started, The Brady Bunch taught many life lessons about growing up such as building self-confidence, working, and telling the truth.

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!

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 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.

| − | |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. | + | |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.
