The esteemed author. Bet he makes absolutely wonderful company when watching not only Airplane, but Blazing Saddles, Silver Streak, M*A*S*H (during it's first one or two seasons), All in the Family, Sanford and Son, Dukes of Hazzard, and other wonderfully objectionable material we got to grow up with, lol.Mash had Spearchucker Jones. That was brought over from the movie and after a few episodes he was gone.
The author has a perpetually worried look that somebody wok-er than he is going to call him out on something he said or wrote.
Not just the television program of M*A*S*H, but what about the movie. Remember Spearchucker Jones?
But-but-but... All In The Family and M*A*S*H and...were woke(!) for 1970!
So another White SJW lecturing White people that only Black people can poke fun at Black people. I hope that discerning Black people are insulted by this.
As I suspected, the author is too young to remember that Jive was an actual dialect before the movie came out, and was waning due to incomprehensibility. History did not start yesterday.
