Well truth be told, none of these shows are perfect. They all are a bit flawed and defective. Like you can wonder why none of the characters seem to have any sort of personal lives and just seem to be there to deal with the various good and bad guys that appear and disappear just as quickly. Why characters on the show die from gunshot wounds 99% of the time, even when shot in non-vital areas. Why the main characters of the show never seem to be aware that they're meeting the same person multiple times, even if they've been killed in a previous episode. (Character actor, John Larch, seems to be most prevalent of all the recurring character actors.) Why all the male actors that appear on these shows are always around 6 feet tall, and all the females tend to be around 5 foot 5, with little variation in the formula. Why there are goofy characters like Chester that like to make foppish remarks like "hanging's too good for him" all the time. Why you'll constantly see characters appear on the show that never appear again, even when they are identified as residents of Dodge. Why these shows are frequently referred to as "Family Friendly" when they are anything but--this show for example contains a lot of content that will likely be pretty disturbing to most children--such as animal cruelty, disturbing violent scenes and shootings, stuff like that. And last of all, why the storylines are often unresolved or seem half-told.
But regardless of the above-mentioned idiosyncrasies, there are times when watching this can still be pretty thought provoking also. Such as you realize how spoiled Americans are these days. What a great thing it is to have things like cars that most of us abuse and take for granted. How nice it is to have medicine at the advanced state it is in now compared to how it was then, things most of us don't really think about. At the same time you can appreciate the portrayal of a reality showing characters that ARE pretty aware of the fact that they are actually human beings and not Gods, the way humans tend to view themselves nowadays. And a reality where the only concerns that police had were to keep the peace, prevent violence, robberies, and murders, and arrest those who commit robberies and murders, as opposed to today's world where police tend to spread themselves very thin and put their noses in a lot of other things that should not be their concern, and you know that's probably why America will not be great again anytime soon, and so finally I say, that despite the shortcomings of programs such as this, they are still worth some time.
