Oh, you took the words right out of my mouth! I saw one show of each and was terrified for months! And AGDee, so did you--Dad was king of the TV so I didn't watch much because how many little girls wanted to watch The Rifleman and the news?
My dad was a doctor and he didn't like it when we watched medical shows because he said they were so inaccurate, so his way to discourage that was to hang over our chairs when we were watching them and laugh hysterically, pointing out all the discrepancies between the show and real life. Eventually, we got so sick of that that we'd leave.
I often tried to watch The Nurses (a drama, I loved their theme song) but ole you-know-who would have me out of the room in 5 minutes.
