An Anomaly

It is a strange world. Just about the time you think you have some things figured out, there comes a strange phenomenon. England is not a particularly Christian nation, though some very fine Christians live there. In fact, you can expect some very sordid things to come out of England. There is on cable a BBC America channel. Now most everything on TV nowadays is not very Christian or fails to hold up high morals, and this channel is one of the worst. In the midst of a terrible TV lineup, and especially coming from England, is this one-hour series called "Robin Hood." It is such a clean hour that kids of any age can watch it without having to cover their eyes or ears. The show is squeaky clean, yet very well done as TV series go.

Robin Hood holds up all the great morals that you want to teach your children. There is a rule in his camp, "No killing unless absolutely necessary." And those killings which must occur are not at all gruesome, in fact, sometimes the act is not shown. The sheriff, though quite evil, still does not speak foul words. It is overall a very wholesome show. One that I highly recommend. Robin is extremely compassionate and forgiving. He takes time to care about his 'men' and others.

Who would have guessed. From England comes a very clean, moral, encouraging series that any Christian can watch and be proud of. If you have an hour on Saturday evenings at 8pm Central, tune in. You will be quite surprised -- I was.
