"Why can't we be like the Waltons?"

My dad used to pull the Walton-guilt out all the time. We were totally dysfunctional, just like most families back in the 60s/70s. Me and my brothers fought constantly, my mom drank Gallo wine by the gallon to stay sane, and my dad watched sitcoms to escape reality.
The reason we could not be like the Waltons is because it is a stupid TV show.
That show was dripping with wholesomeness and although there were certainly families like that, i would say they constitute about .000001% of the population.
What about that wonderful Brady Bunch? Gosh darn, were they not as cute as shit?
My dad's favorite shows was All in the Family, and he looked a lot like Archie Bunker.
