Reply to comment by PreviousTea9210 in What are some shows that were advertised to one demographic, but became successful outside of the target demographic? by blqckwidow

Mostly pokes fun at liberals.

Except for Dale, the rednecks are generally good people.

The sex ed episode ended with a parent talking to a kid about sex. Not a government employee.

The Hills went to church every Sunday.

Bush was a nice guy. The Clintons were scum.

Racism does not exist in Arlen.

Liberal activists, especially, are overgrown children.

It never addressed the confederate flag, which was problematic.

I don't get how you watch the sex-ed episode, which is clearly mocking the whole conservative prudishness against sex-ed, and think that it has an anti-liberal ending. Peggy is literally a substitute teacher, she is teaching sex ed while being paid by the local government,

There is a lot of say here, but I will just stick with liberals go to church too, teacher are government employees - and the end lesson Hank learned from that was its ok to learn about sex in school, there were a few episodes that dealt with racism, from both a black and a native perspective, and the confederate flag wasn't a hot spot at the time. If the show was still going on I imagine they would do something.

Peggy spoke to Bobby about sex. Yeah. It showed the absurdity of the anti sex ed crowd.

Most of the race episodes showed blacks as reactionaries. Hank Hill wasn't racist. He was a white conservative. There's a difference.

Confederate flag has been an issue since about 1861. In the 90s, liberals were trying to take it down from statehouses.
