Andy made sure that he explained to his son, Opie, that they still were fond of Gomer, but they were annoyed with him trying to do good. When he spoke to Opie, he lowered his face to him and spoke to him in a sterner but soft and understanding voice to where Opie knew this was a learning experience. He was not mean but changed his tone to where Opie knows he was not joking around. Another change of tone in the Andy Griffith show was when Andy tried tricking Gomer that he had saved him. In this scene, Andy would speak to Gomer in a slower tone to make sure Gomer understood what he was trying to say. Gomer ended up hearing him loud and clear and fell for Andy’s “bait”. In the Gilmore Girls, Lorelai’s father had just moved into a new office and did not have a secretary just yet, so Lorelai was answering his phone calls. When the phone rang, it was Lorelai’s mother asking to speak with her husband, Lorelai’s father. Lorelai’s mother did now know that Lorelai was on the other end, but she thought it was a newly hired secretary. When Lorelai changed her voice and jokingly said, “Mr. Gilmore never mentioned he had a wife?” her mother got very upset. Lorelai later told her mother in the call that it was her. Her mother got annoyed with her changing her tone and hurried Lorelai to hand the phone over to her

She also displayed some traits that women were stereotyped for such as not showing or looking your age, being careless with money, and other secretive things.

It mainly affected the states of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico where 2.5 million people had moved out of these regions by 1940 (PBS), desperately searching for jobs which were already scarce during the period of the Great Depression.

Matheson states, "Also, in addition to being a self-consciously hip show, it is also a show that must live within the constraints of prime-time American network television.
