Sea Hunt (1958)
Positive traits of Lead Character and the story line
I also enjoy this show and must thank the "THIS" network ran by Time Warner in SE Wis. It has clear, positive, messages and admirable traits of the lead character Mike Nelson such as honesty, the hard work ethic, being reliable, safety conscious for himself as well as others. America could stand much to go back to these virtues.
I enjoyed the original series as a child. It stoked my imagination with it's many locations that Mike Nelson traveled to. The narrative and sound of "bubbles" added to the excitement of what was occurring in the scenes.
America need more of these positive television dramas.
Highway Patrol (1955)
America Back then and today
I was a viewer of this show when it originally aired. Now it's one of the few shows I record to view on Time Warner Cable.
It shows small town 50's USA with it's shops, businesses, cafes, motels and back roads in CA.
I am amused by the "machine gun fire" speaking by Broderick Crawford even when giving orders to subordinates, I have never heard one of them ask of him "Would you repeat that, and speak a little slower and a bit more succinctly?" It also is an amazing look into the social fiber of America at that time, it showed an angry Korean Veteran that couldn't find a job using his faked knowledge of bazookas to help do robberies, innocent vacationing honeymooners being kidnapped as well as interesting dialogue.
Do you wonder if American TV today is showing a positive or repulsive, ugly America to the rest of the world? Should it matter?
