America Back then and today

I was a viewer of this show when it originally aired. Now it's one of the few shows I record to view on Time Warner Cable.

It shows small town 50's USA with it's shops, businesses, cafes, motels and back roads in CA.

I am amused by the "machine gun fire" speaking by Broderick Crawford even when giving orders to subordinates, I have never heard one of them ask of him "Would you repeat that, and speak a little slower and a bit more succinctly?" It also is an amazing look into the social fiber of America at that time, it showed an angry Korean Veteran that couldn't find a job using his faked knowledge of bazookas to help do robberies, innocent vacationing honeymooners being kidnapped as well as interesting dialogue.

Do you wonder if American TV today is showing a positive or repulsive, ugly America to the rest of the world? Should it matter?
