Visiting Vegas. Winston and I have seen some nature sites as well as watching episodes of Little House on the Prairie. It's a very wholesome show set in late 1800s Minnesota in the summer, a stark contrast to current Las Vegas vibe lol. It makes you feel good inside when you watch it, like the world is kind and caring, maybe even motivate you to start a family if you don't already have one.

Visit torrent sites to download full episodes or buy from Amazon.

I recall that show being discussed by a columnist years ago as portraying a time that the father was really head of the house.

TV used to be filled with good, family-oriented shows; now, everything is catered to the lowest-common denominator and crass human behavior.

I think overall the quality of humanity has been going downhill. So the entertainment often reflects the people.

Recently, I watched a documentary about the show that said that some men back then were ashamed to say they watched the show, since it seemed to be aimed at women or something like that. The main character was a little girl.

I grew up watching the show and I was too little to think about whether it was aimed at men or women. I still don't think of it as a women's type show. It had plenty of male characters. It's a family show, and actually tried to teach good values like hard work or the trouble kids can get into by lying.

Yeah I am kind of embarrassed to admit that I watch that too. It makes me sound kind of girly. lol. I can't believe Rock would admit to watching and liking it.

But the appeal of that show nowadays is that it's so out of place in degenerate modern America that watching it in a sense makes you a rebel. lol

That's the appeal of it for me. Watching a show like that is totally non-conformist nowadays. lol

It also makes you feel good inside when you watch it because it's so wholesome and preaches good moral values. So it's refreshing in that sense. Try it and you will see. But I don't think most guys will admit to watching a show like that. It makes you sound kind of girly. lol

Here is a playlist of Little House on the Prairie episodes on YouTube. Some of them will bring tears to you. You will miss how wholesome TV shows used to be when you watch some of these episodes. They are so out of place in degenerate modern America. lol

Winston you weren't around in the seventies obviously, when I was born everything you picked up was made here for the most part. The American people let this happen. Most of us signed up for the socialist plan of the nanny state and look at the fruit it's bearing world wide.

I really hear it in the music as well!
