    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    It's the first show of its kind to introduce racism, sexism, welfare, environmental issues, the political activism of the younger generations, guns, ageism, and on the list goes. And of course, back to the topic of this thread, getting by in a recession. I just love the show is all.:)

    Yes, it could be. :)

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    But it was shocking to many with a point. Not shocking for shock value.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    Limits vs Standards. TV today has no limits or standards. AITF was full of standards, morals and lessons about life.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    I grew up in the 1970s and 80s.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    How did it destroy American culture? If anything it facilitated discussions after each episode and was very enlightening without being in-your-face preachy.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    I grew up in lower-working-class NYC and found AITF to be the closest thing on TV to what's "real" over anything else I had seen at the time. I still love it today. Not a single thing in it was gratuitous.

    I can't find them. Maybe Lizzie can... I recall it being an interesting discussion.

    No problem! I did a search but am getting too many threads to sort through. Still looking.

    I know Lizzie and I commented on this someplace. I love the show and disagree with you. Strongly. Maybe I can find my posts.

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    That's good to hear and I don't doubt it. I'm glad you aren't jaded and are able to experience people with a heart and soul.

    Thank you. If "living in reality" means being involved in everything current, that makes me mad. ;)

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    See, I cant think of anything more real than eating real food that you grew. Which brings me to....what is "real?" "Reality TV" is not. Much of the news is fiction. And just because people are really acting crazy doesn't mean they are living "in reality." Or do I sound like a kook? :eeek:

    I love old buildings but later than what you like. One of my favorite things in the world is to go to estate sales in houses from the 50s and 60s that have changed little over the years.

    My time capsule house really makes a difference in my life and I love spending time in it. It's taken me ten plus years to get the vintage things I have inside and it's an ongoing quest.

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    I know, but there's something magical about watching the old shows on TV. I can pretend I'm actually back in time. Same with Twilight Zone. I own the complete series but still watch the July 4th marathon.

    yeah, I know. ;)
