Too many people can't tell fact from fiction, unfortunately. In real life June Cleaver would have been gulping Milltowns and the local Catholic priest would have been diddling the Beaver. "Mayberry" was a studio backlot in California, and Mt. Airy, NC (which Mayberry was based on) was most likely a sundowner town. You familiar with that term?
Neither one of those shows had any more of a relationship to reality than Star Trek
Steel made Pittsburgh and then wrecked it. We recovered on our own, thanks to some visionary local politicians (liberal Democrats back when that actually meant something), and we're better off without the steel industry.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
