What We Think

“Rodney” is about as non-woke as you can get for early-2000s sitcoms. It’s a throwback to when shows celebrated family, good-natured humor, and traditional values instead of pushing a modern ideological message.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Rodney” is a traditional sitcom focused on a working-class family, with characters that fit naturally within the story’s context. There’s no clear evidence of forced representation or characters defined solely by modern identity markers. The humor and storylines prioritize personality and relatability over ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show centers on family, work ethic, and small-town values. Masculinity, family life, and moral lessons are treated as positive and central, not undermined or mocked. There’s little to no subversion of cultural traditions; if anything, it celebrates them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives and classic American values are represented as normal, with humor occasionally poking fun at everyone in a lighthearted way. There’s no overt villainization of traditional beliefs; the worldview stays comfortably middle America throughout.
