|Although is depicts a conservative family from the Southern American States silly, the show powerfully illustrates how material possessions do not define a person. Buddy Ebsen stars as Jed Clampett, patriarch of the hillbilly Clampett family, who became multi-millionaires after Jed struck oil on his land in the Ozark Mountains and moved with his family to Beverly Hills, California. However, the Clampetts never let their newly obtained wealth affect who they are as people, maintaining moral and simplistic lifestyles throughout the show's run. Irene Ryan stars as Jed's mother-in-law Daisy May "Granny" Moses; Donna Douglas plays his beautiful, tomboyish, and animal-loving daughter Elly May Clampett; Max Baer portrays the dimwitted yet good-natured Clampett cousin Jethro Bodine; Raymond Bailey plays unscrupulous banker Milburn Drysdale; and Nancy Kulp stars as Drysdale's secretary Jane Hathaway. Popular throughout its run, ''The Beverly Hillbillies'' fell victim in 1971 to CBS' Rural Purge but has remained popular in syndicated reruns ever since and led to the 1981 reunion TV movie ''Return of the Beverly Hillbillies'', a 1993 TV special titled ''The Legend of the Beverly Hillbillies',' and a feature film remake of the series that same year. The film starred Jim Varney as Jed, Erika Eleniak as Elly May, Cloris Leachman as Granny, Diedrich Bader as Jethro, Dabney Coleman as Mr. Drysdale, and Lily Tomlin as Miss Hathaway, with a cameo by Buddy Ebsen (in his final acting role) as his other famous TV character, [[Barnaby Jones]].

|Although it was feminist due to the titular character Kim Possible tending to save the world and her sidekick Ron Stoppable generally being comic relief, it also was pro-family values, as it was notably one of the few Disney Channel shows where the fathers of the main characters (Kim and Ron) were not depicted as bumbling, buffoonish, childish, or as a jerk, and in many cases the fathers actually helped significantly to save the day. For instance, Kim Possible's dad James Possible is a friendly yet brilliant rocket scientist, and believes in family bonds, and often pushes his children, to follow also honor family. In addition, there were several episodes where Ron played a significant role in saving the world. It is also notable as being one of the few Disney Channel shows to actually break the 65-episode cutoff rule on the network.

|The show mocks [[liberal values]], however it also portrays a dysfunctional family as funny. Also the [[Parents Television Council]] called it the crudest comedy on prime time television due to being peppered with lewd punch lines about sex, sexual stimulation, the homosexual lifestyle, and father Al Buddy's fondness for pornographic magazines and strip clubs.

|Many businessmen are made out to be dumb, Republicans have at times been depicted as evil, and family values aren't necessarily put in the best light. However, it still mocks liberal values as well as political correctness (including even showing the Democrats, via Springfield mayor and [[JFK]] wannabe Joe Quimby, as the corrupt and incompetent politicians they really are, although that being said, the character Lisa Simpson has occasionally been used as a soundboard for the more liberal views of the show.), and although Bart Simpson causes a lot of trouble, he is painted out to be a "punk" rather than a "cool dude". This show is also known for being not as bad as the wretched ''Family Guy''. The show was originally a series of short skits on ''The Tracey Ullman Show''.

|The show had some liberal elements, such as promoting the feminist agenda to some extent, and also having a degree of forced multiculturalism (eg, turning Jimmy Olsen into a black man when he was originally a red-headed Caucasian in the comics). However, it also has some conservative elements to the show, namely pro-family messages, as well as the character Cat Grant in one episode expressing some regret for the fact that, when she got pregnant out of wedlock, she chose her career over her child (it should be noted that this would have been against the feminist agenda, since adherents to feminism generally reject any indication that a woman can't be satisfied by anything besides a career, especially being satisfied with having children and/or holding any remorse for giving up their child in favor of their careers.). In addition, environmentalism is depicted in a more negative manner due to the main villains, surviving Kryptonian prisoners at Fort Rozz, being sentenced there due to engaging in environmental terrorism in an attempt to save Krypton, and Kara Zor-El's uncle being an unrepentant mass murderer. The two-part season finale also dealt with the main villains plan, Myriad, which involved mass mind-control which likewise had those affected by it making statements that eerily paralleled the statements made by liberal ideology. Note that this only applies with the first season of ''Supergirl'', as starting with the second season upon its move to the CW, it went hard-left in its political and social views (see its entry in [[Essay:Worst Liberal TV Shows#The worst liberal television shows|Worst Liberal TV Shows]] for more information).
