    Jeet Heer Retweeted Atrios

    One interesting thing about the 21st American culture is the disappearance of popular culture that satirizes either cops (like police academy) or military (service comedies in the mode of MASH or Sad Sack). In that sense, Hollywood is far more conservative than before.https://twitter.com/Atrios/status/1530648623708528640 …

    Cops as useless buffoons (not necessarily evil but not good!) was a standard movie/tv trope before the post-9/11 first responder worship bloomed

        Can we get a return of hard boiled PI detective movies if police reputation continues to plummet? That would be great.

        Reno 911 as blistering satire The Wire is a show showing how the sausage is made. So it didn’t totally disappear post 9/11

        @Atrios I’d go back earlier. Dukes of Hazard, Convoy, Smokey and the Bandit crooked or bumbling cops, then you get Dirty Harry, Hill Street BLues NYPD Blue, Diehard good guy cops in Reagan era?

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        I think the lack of the latter boils down to the fact that a proportionally much smaller portion of Americans have served in the military today than was the case at any point during the Cold War, so shows and movies about the everyday minutiae of military life have less resonance

        I think that's part of it. Having been born in the '80s, for awhile it was surprising to me to find out so many stars had been in the military. Bogart, Jimmy Stewart, Elvis Presley, & so many others. Ending the draft in conjunction with war was a major change for the culture.
