The show largely prioritizes character-driven stories and classic sitcom humor over ideological messaging. Characters' identities are not heavily emphasized or forced into the narrative. Casting and personality traits feel organic for the era it aired in, and while there is some diversity, it isn't presented in a way that undercuts the character arcs or storytelling.

Traditional family dynamics are central to the series, with family, responsibility, and faith (albeit magical) often promoted. Masculinity, femininity, and humor are played straight, and the show doesn't overtly attack religion, family, or long-standing cultural norms. If anything, there's a clear respect for these foundations, rare by today’s standards.

There's little sign of ideological monoculture; comedic jabs are typically harmless, and different perspectives within the family are given sincere play. Any 'alternative' views aren't straw-manned or villainized, reflecting a time before Hollywood fully embraced today's ideological dogmas.
