Leo Strauss who was father of the neocons said that Gunsmoke and Perry Mason were the best TV shows. He liked Gunsmoke because it is easy to tell the good guy from the bad guy and becaus at the end of the every show the guy in the white hat kills the guy in the black hat. He liked Perry Mason because he always looks like he is working for honest clients who deserve to 'get off' and because he always looks like he, himself, is an ethical lawyer. In fact, his clients might be guilty as heck and he might be cheating them. What many people don't know is that much of Neocon political doctrine is based on how these shows influenced this man.

The writing on those shows was ahead of its time. It holds up well, even today.
