What We Think

An archetype of non-woke, classic television, ‘The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet’ is essentially the gold standard for traditional, family-centered storytelling with no hint of modern ideological overreach.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on relatable family life, prioritizing character dynamics and humor over identity politics. Characters are developed around their roles as family members and personalities, not shoehorned in for diversity’s sake. There’s no sign of forced representation or incongruent characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Ozzie and Harriet’ celebrates traditional family, marriage, and gender roles typical of its era. Masculinity, femininity, religion, and morality are portrayed positively, there’s no revisionist take on norms, only affirmation of classic American values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show offers little ideological diversity, but that’s more a function of the time than a pointed snub at alternative views. Traditional perspectives dominate, though without hostility toward dissenters, just a narrow cultural lens by today’s standards.
