"Bang" 'Gunsmoke' starring James Arness as Marshall Matt Dillion. This was a television western cowboy show where the good guys won and the bad guys lost. There was Miss Kitty, Festus, Doc, Newly and before them Quint and Chester as deputies. 'Gunsmoke' was a drama but also had a lot of comedy thanks to Festus at times. There were plenty of lessons one could learn as well.

Grizzly Adams
There was an old television show in the mid to late seventies named 'Grizzly Adams' starring Dan Haggerty who portrayed the main character who was accused of a crime he did not commit so he left his family and went out into the wilderness. The time period was the 1800's. Adams made friends with a grizzly bear hence the name of the show, called Ben along with a trader trapper by the name of Mad Jack and an Indian, his blood brother, named Nicoma. This was also show that in a way taught various survival skills in the wilderness that one can still use today when going camping and even the basics of right and wrong in solving various issues.

The truth behind culture of game show obsession
Culture can be defined as all the ways of life including arts, beliefs and institutions of a population that are passed down from generation to generation. Culture has been called "the way of life for an entire society." As such, it includes codes of manners, dress, language, religion, rituals, art. norms of behavior, such as law and morality, and systems of belief.

Re Flash Gordon - it was way before I was born; somehow they took the old series and ran it on TV because I watched it when little. Buster Crabbe, Charles Middleton and Jean Arnold. It had special effects, NOT! the space ships were on strings. I don't get it, why it was on TV in the 50-60s but it was sci-fi for kids at its best then. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0027623/
Now we need THE RIFLEMAN.
Looking back on this show that my dad loved, Kitty was a well dressed prostitute sort of but on the show portrayed as saloon owner, yeah right; Chester was played by an actor who went on to be famous, Dennis Weavery; Doc Weaver knew everything. I watched it with my dad and of course it is outdated now and not politically correct, but a classic!
Oh I've neither watched nor heard of this show. Loved your poem!
