This thread happens once a month in the political board or the movie/tv board where folks claim that a show back in the day wouldn't make it today when in fact it would be tame by today's standards.


And most often it's about All in the Family, and it's correct.

quote:

Archie Bunker: I'm not prejudiced, any man deserves my respect and he's gonna get it irregardless of his color.

Mike Stivic: Then what are you calling them names like black beauties for?

Archie Bunker: Now that's where I got you, mister liberal, because there's a black guy who works down at the building with me, he's got a bumper sticker on his car that says 'Black is Beautiful', huh, so what's the matter with black beauties?

Edith Bunker: It's nicer than when he called them coons.


quote:

Archie Bunker: Back in my day, they wasn't called Chicanos or Anglo-Americans or Afro-Americans, we was all Americans so if a guy was a jig or a spick, it was his own business.


There's no way on God's green Earth that the main character for a network sitcom would be allowed to say things like that on a regular basis today.

My favorite show of all-time. Just plain funny.

ETA

Steve eneters Al's open front door.

Steve:AL, your front door is wide open. Aren't you afraid some crazed lunatic will just walk in and kill you?

AL: Yeah, Steve, like I ever get what I want.

Haven't watched the video yet, but one memorable line off the top of my head was when Peg thinks Al's cheating and confronts him. Al denies it and replies, "Why go out for milk when you've got a cow at home?"

The show was about to be cancelled until some woman wrote a national op-ed letter complaining about the content; MWC took off like a rocket afterwards.

A big tittied redhead friend of mine and I went to a Halloween party as Al and Peg.


Ain't gonna lie, the costume sex after was a bucket list item.

Al is sitting on the beach next to a fat woman:


Woman: "You're in my sun. I'm trying to get an all-over tan."

Al: " You're asking a lot of the sun."

It would do just fine nowadays, with some obvious updates. Look at what's on cable and network TV now.

MWC was the anti-Cosby show.

My father loved that show. As I got older, I really began to understand why.

All In The Family
Sanford And Son
The Jefferson

All would never see the air today.

MASH as liberal as it was, had a black character called "Spear Chucker Jonres".
