Tarzan

They did an excellent job of "fixing" Tarzan for the most recent film.

- He's now a brother of the Waziri, not their king or god.
- The focus of the film was to end Belgian slavery
- His costar played an actual Afican-American historical character who was involved in the Belgian/Congo political conflict

They did everything that they could to update it, plus threw in Margot Robbie in wet dresses, and it still wasn't popular enough for a sequel.

Amos and Andy. I think there would be criminal prosecutions today.

I'd say Hogan's Heroes, but then we have Jo Jo Rabbit in theaters as we speak.

What’s funny is people wouldn’t see Ed Edd n Eddy for what it is and that’s that the main characters are just as much antagonists as anyone else. They’re assholes (it’s an incredible show)


It’s basically “Always Sunny” for kids

Ren & Stimpy could still get made, but would never fly as a kid's show. It would be one of those 2am shows you find on Adult Swim.

Adult Swim starts at 8pm. Also, I don't consider Ren & Stimpy anymore problematic than a show like Rick & Morty. The vast majority of 90's cartoons would find themselves on streaming programs nowadays (Rocko's Modern Life & Invader Zim have specials on Netflix). Mainly because it's more accessible and Saturday morning cartoons aren't really a thing.

The whole "____ show wouldn't be allowed on TV nowadays" is heavily exaggerated.

Go to YouTube and search for: Sanford and son: Lamont goes to court

You can watch the entire clip or the part that wouldn't be shown today goes from about 9:00 - 11:00 minute mark.

I see All in the Family as an odd response. It was the first "woke" TV show decades before it was a thing. Archie was a near-complete embodiment of whitey bad.

That's not the part that would prevent the movie from getting made today. The ending being a Democrat fundraiser/secret klan rally wouldn't work today. They would change Jackie Gleason's character to a Republican and keep everything else the same.
