Diff'rent Strokes was another kinda meh premise that would never see the light of day in our current PC world.


a white man adopting an interracial family?

if that came out today many people here would be trashing it for being PC.

Prison Break. You can only break out so many times before it gets stupid.

True. But it would have to be a middle-class, struggling to make ends meet, white man. The PC nannys would consider a rich white man adopting two young black boys as condesending and a subtle reference to slavery.

"My Two Dads" (with a slight change to the premise of how she came to have "two dads" of course) would be an Emmy winning "masterpiece."

Hogan's Heroes - maybe not terrible, but a bit bizarre. It worked, though.

I thought The Office was a pretty bad premise at first, but by the final episode they made it ok and make sense
