WKRP in Cincinnati1978
Dr. Bob Halyers:
[Mr. Carlson is asking whether a certain song is suitable or not for airplay] "Imagine there's no heaven / It's easy if you try / No hell below us / Above us only sky... Nothing to kill or die for / And no religion too... Imagine no possessions... Imagine all the people sharing all the world." That sounds like Communism to me. If there's no heaven, no religion and I assume no God.
Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson:
There's not an obscene word in here.
Dr. Bob Halyers:
Not the way I see it.
Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson:
Go on your list?
Dr. Bob Halyers:
Arthur, this is typical of the kind of secular liberal humanist point of view that gluts our airwaves.
Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson:
Yeah. But we're not talking obscenities here anymore, Bob. We're talking about ideas, political, the philosophical ideas. First you censor a word and then you censor the ideas.
Dr. Bob Halyers:
But the idea is man-centered, not God-centered. The Bible tells us to put our reliance in God, not in our fellow mortals. Arthur, this song says there's no heaven.
Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson:
Ah, no, it says just imagine there's no heaven.
Dr. Bob Halyers:
That's blasphemy.
Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson:
On the list or not?
Dr. Bob Halyers:
I have no choice but to say "on."
Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson:
That decision was made by one man!
