tyrone green's 'C-I-L-L my landlord'... velvet jones, etc... a lot of the stuff the used to be on tv would most likely NEVER be on today... i don't know if we can blame the rebublicans for this one, because reagan was in the white house when all of this was going on.

we've become so politically correct that everything requires a preface these days. if anyone so much as even ATTEMPTS to do this stuff now, you get called crazy, or get racked with huge fines for indecency or something.

Yeah u never would get any of this on TV today, at least on the main channels, you could proably get through on cable, i mean SouthPark has survived through it all, though so does Family Guy, but, you never could have shows like All in the Family, Sanford and Son, the jeffersons etc...on tv today. I mean there was an episode of Sanford and Son where Fred and Lamont go to court and Fred says the system is racist, and he says to a white cop, "why dont u arrest some white people" and the cop says "I do" and then Fred looks around the court and says "where....look at all these N****'s in here" even when tv Land ran this show it totally chopped that part out. So theres no way those shows would exist today on regular tv without getting bombarded and threatened and at some point when the sponsors pulled the commercials, so the network would pull the show

Yeah exactly. I'm actually tired of this politically correct bullshit.

Little Britain and the US rip off Tracey Ullman's State of The Union has done all of that stuff in the last few years and worse.

remember the first episode of the jeffersons, when lionel was a panther or something, and he was talking about going and smashing things? then louise stayed home from her job due to racism... that show was wild! then they tamed it a whole lot... even an early episode of 'the cosby show'... cliff huxtable says to his son, 'theo, i'ma beat yo ass'.

i was talking to a friend about that, because i wanted to be sure if i remembered that correctly, because i hadn't seen that episode since it first came on in '84. but i remembered he said that! my friend got the first season DVD, and she said yup, he did say that.

so yeah, they made these shows so tame. these shows talked about something. but they wanna censor everything, and put this music out where people are talking about all sorts of things, and wearing no clothes. that's just weird to me.

The pilot/first season of "Cosby" was actually RAW compared to the seven later seasons when you think about it. When the money came through, it got softer lol
