Maybe it is to show us how the other "half" lives?? No offense intended but I don't care how they live. Wouldn't it be nice to have shows like Walton Mountain, Little House on the Prairie, Leave it to Beaver, etc...shows that were family friendly and left us with positive images..morals? Maybe I am showing my age but I think maybe it could make a big difference in the world if we took some of the violence off the screen. Ok..will step down from my box. Lol !!
