TV shows you like because of moral reasons?

[HillGoose]

Inspired by the thread on companies you don't buy from bcuz of moral reasons, is there any TV programs you like mainly because they align with your morals?

Personally I consider 7th Heaven, Boy Meets World, and Young Sheldon some of the best of the last couple of decades just because they have very good family values and moral messages.

None, really. Most of the TV shows I like, I like for reasons other than morality. The fact that I can see my own morality in a lot of them doesn't hurt either.

Miami Vice

Because Crockett lived on a boat.  And I always that was pretty cool.

Almost every form of fiction I connect to on a deep level I do so in large part because I feel they have something profound to say about good and evil.

Unfortunately it's no longer on youtube, but my all time favorite moral t.v program is the 1961 Superboy pilot based on the Superboy comic book "The Saddest Boy in Smallville.'

A boy gets a lesson that just because his father doesn't have an important job that it doesn't mean his father can't be a genuine hero.

This can especially be compared to the failed David E Kelley (Ally McBeal) Wonder Woman pilot which is the most awful television episode I've ever seen.

In this episode, Wonder Woman 'teaches' a lesson that if she doesn't beat a suspect nearly to death, that the suspect will 'lawyer up.'

Southpark?

It may sound somewhat strange, but Breaking Bad. I think the show does a great job realistically depicting the consequences and harm of the drug world, from the users, to the dealers, even the minor participants. Also the families of all those involved.

Most other similar shows focus solely on the "cool" factor and often portray the protagonist's death as an isolated instance in a blaze of glory. Little of that is found there for most characters by the end of it.

Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, duh!

Star Trek: The Next Generation, I guess.

I'm rewatching some old Season 2 und Season 3 episodes recently and this is were Picard got into the whole "holding speeches" thing to chastise everyone around him for their moral failings.

A single Data - and forgive me, Commander - is a curiosity. A wonder, even. But thousands of Datas - isn't that becoming... a race? And won't we be judged by how we treat that race?

There are times, sir, when men of good conscience cannot blindly follow orders. You acknowledge their sentience, but you ignore their personal liberties and freedom. Order a man to hand his child over to the state? Not while I am his captain.

Decidedly not using his indoor voice after being told to shut up by the Klingon Chancellor:

I speak now as the Captain of the USS Enterprise and Lieutenant Worf's commanding officer. You will NOT execute a member of my crew, nor will I turn his brother over to you.

Looney Tunes. I believe that coyotes should be vegetarian and that Acme is God’s punishment to Wile E. Coyote for not trying to be a vegetarian.

The Good Place does a pretty good job explaining ethics and philosophy and promoting the idea of being a good person for its own sake.

I wasn't aware of the show until it was over, but I watched it after and I loved it. I agree that it did all of what you said, but it also made you really think about the concept of an afterlife (or at least their particularly portrayal).
