I Love Lucy could not be made in today’s times. A ditzy wife married to a relatively level-headed husband? The scriptwriters would be tarred and feathered.

You mean, all the plots where he stops her from having a career? And spanks her when she gets into trouble? That should go over well.

I do love I Love Lucy but it’s pretty historical at this point.

Try and do the Dean Martin Roast today...with Sammy Davis, Nipsy Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, etc on the dais!

The Middle, which ended last season, pretty much followed that formula.

Also, the first time Lucy made fun of Ricky's accent, all hell would break loose. The network would issue an apology, half of the writers would be fired, and the other half ordered to attend sensitivity training. The show might even be cancelled. It wouldn't matter that Desi Arnaz was the executive producer, and approved all of the scripts.
