The writers were preoccupied with answering the question, "How do we fill our order of 26 episodes?"



There is good and bad in every era (The 60s had hippies, the Summer of Love, the Watts Riots, and the Manson Family murders all within the same decade! )

There was violence even in the 60s. The violence in The Wild Bunch (1969) and Bonnie and Clyde (1967) was shocking for its day.

The 60s had more violence than that!

The assassinations - JFK, Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King.

Escalation of United States' role in Vietnam from writing checks, sending weapons, to training troops how to use them to doing the fighting with large numbers of our own troops, with ever-escalating hopeless increases in troop numbers needed.

The My Lai Massacre, in which we were not on the side of the good guys, and only one low-level officer was ever punished.

Political interference in the 1968 election.
