None of these TV shows could be made today because #NetworkCowardice. Ranked from “Least” Offensive to “OMG I Need Counseling!”:
- The Bob Newhart Show (makes fun of mental illness / psychoses, plus airline pilot Howard is a serial seducer / rapist)
- Dukes Of Hazzard (OMG Confederate Flag Warning!)
- Tom ‘n Jerry cartoons (all that violence, sexism and animal cruelty)
- Benny Hill (sexism, male chauvinism / piggery, etc.)
- Monty Python’s Flying Circus (sample):
“I don’t like darkies!”
“Hahahaha… she doesn’t like darkies… who does?“
…and a special Dishonorable Mention for female stereotyping:
- How To Marry A Millionaire
