The problem with folks these days is that we have raised our children in a all about me, instant gratification, everybody gets a participation trophy. This has led to nobody being able to even laugh at themselves much less anything else that would "offend". Heck...in real life, not everyone gets to make the team and play...learn to live and deal with it. People have forgotten how to laugh and how to take things in context. Mel Brooks, one of the best comedians ever in Hollywood, wrote some of the most off the cuff movies that hit on every race, color, religion, creed, and nationality. He was funny and I still laugh. Folks today are so worried about offending someone that they don't and can't carry on a conversation. These TV shows were made in a different time...to look at them and say what they are saying about them now is apples and oranges. Different times and different context.

The real problem is in Hollywood with the actors and actresses that have known that sexual harassment has been going on for decades and have set silent like Oprah, Jane Fonda, Ashley Judd etc. That is the real world. We don't need to blame TV shows but look at real life and fix that.

LT Brad McInnis The academia libtard that wrote this piece is a snowflake on the next level along with his students. Really?!?!?! Pepe LePue? Really? Tarnishing the legacy of Ferris Bueller's day off? Really? Show a bunch of 70's and early 80's sitcoms and CARTOONS to a bunch of college snowflakes and ask them to opine? He needs to find another hobby or go to his safe place, put on his safety pin, suck his thumb and rock back and forth until his ass has so many scabs that he needs some free medical care.

LT Brad McInnis - Did you know that Mel Brooks released Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein in the same year? Try releasing either film today? The snowflakes would be falling like a blizzard!

LT Brad McInnis it's asinine that the younger generation judge the older generation by standards they barely understand themselves and when they have no real clue of the world and how things are/were.
