You couldn't even buy a playboy magazine in the small community where I grew up. Roy Rogers and Gene Autry were our heroes. Instead of killing the bad guy they shot the gun out of his hand. Yes, there were guns----for hunting game. You were "unusual" if you didn't attend church. The worst violence on television was Gunsmoke but old' Matt Dillon always prevailed. If you had too much to drink, the good policeman brought you home. They wanted to throw Elvis in jail and off television because he was too sinful and provocative. Wow! How times "they have changed."
