You find that subversive?
I don't "find it" subversive. It is subversive by definition.
That episode wasn't a reflection of what was going on in society at the time. It was a vision of the kind of things the writers wanted to happen to fathers who were, in the writer's opinion, overbearing.
Same thing with many of the female characters on the show. There was a lot of "girl power".
You don't have to think it was "bad" in order to admit that it was subversive.
On the other hand I do think the fact that so many male characters were bumbling idiots was subversive in a way that most people should consider bad.

quote:Yes, it was. It aired in the late 1960s, during the height of the women's rights movement. It is the very definition of what was going on at the time.

Andy was pretty much anti gun, and Barney couldn’t be trusted with more than one bullet, not even that at times.
