This is why television shows aren’t funny anymore. Writers think ‘nope, can’t say this’ and ‘nope, can’t say that’.. TV SUCKS.

I’ve been saying this for 10 years now at least. Round about the time the Christmas Concert became the “Holiday Concert” and Halloween Party became “Fall Festivals”........

I don’t watch much TV. But when I do see some sitcom, it seems they are all pushing homosexuality, immorality, or liberal political views. A little balace would be appreciated.

Now we understand why the Donald has gained so much interest, he fights back against PC.

Even Black-Oriented shows like “In Living Color” from twenty years ago, probably can’t even get made today.

Now I know ...

No you couldn’t.

You couldn’t make a lot of the sitcoms of the 50s and 60s anymore either.

The early ‘60s hit song “Please Mr. Custer” cited “durned Injuns.”

F Troop theme song “where paleface and redskin both turn chicken.”

People didn’t have a chip on their shoulder.

Or Eddie Murphy “Delirious” (Still cracks me up today as much as it did then), but he couldn’t get away with half of that stuff today.

TV shows can poke fun at “stupid conservatives” all they want. And you will get the usual canned laughter. Anyone who lived in the former Soviet Union would have no problem recognizing the official bias.

That is why the internet has become the “safe place” to get the truth out.

How about a *side-kick* midget who scampers up a bell tower and squeeks out, “Da pleeeein...!!”

No way.

I watched Blazing Saddles two days ago.
That movie could never be made today.
Mel Brooks used and abused every stereotype possible in that movie.

From the black work gang singing to the flaming homo male dancers it was a great movie.

I don’t think we will ever see it’s like again.
Too many people have lost the ability to laugh about too many things.
It is all about anger now.
