For me it's M*A*S*H.
Next to WKRP in Cincinnati and All in the Family, Sanford and Son was the best.

I have the complete box set, I must dig it out. Still a quite a few episodes I haven't seen. I must make a point of getting around to it. I do miss the likes of Cliff, Norm, Sam, Woody (coach) prior to him), Frasier. Carla (Diane pror to her) etc.

Heard the same about Alyson Hannigan
Great show. Hard to see some actors in new roles. Like everyone in Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and the current Farmers Insurance commercials
Awesome show. I unwittingly had a Ron style shirt and my wife didn’t say what are you thinking! I’m still a bit salty about that.
Classic stuff. I still remember the finale and the chicken that wasn’t a chicken
Yeah, Fred vs Archie
Outstanding show, and Frazier was an excellent spinoff in its own right.

I used to love it. But re-watching a few episodes more recently, I just couldn't get past the shitty attitude towards women. Hawkeye, who used to leave me in creases, harasses and sexually assaults women almost constantly. It's cringe worthy. Why did we use to feel comfortable with this shit?

It was a reflection of the early 1950s. Would you rather they rewrote history just for you?

Dolf,
MASH is a balls to the wall Protest show.
About everything at the time. Things were a lot different when MASH came out.
It was outrageous to say the least.
Especially about War and everything one can think of to protest against !(Vietnam and yes Korea too.) Race, Gender...Hell everything.
Fuck, listen to the theme song.
they slid that one in!https://video.search.yahoo.com/sear...=29faa9d0be249b5209d490071f20abfc&action=view

Mrs. FF and myself often rewatch older TV series and **your point is valet.** The question of (why ) .......answered...social norm at that time in history , past tense. The odds of a network show ever writing a " good guy" character like that again is slim to none. So in reality , lesson learned.
the new social norm will always be in transition for ever and for ever. But we also have to consider that the " writer " and sponsors would be the villain , not the actor or character in actuality. In Hawt-eyes defense , the nurses had their moments of frisky aggressive behavior to. The actors , writers , and producers of the show delivered a period piece pretty close to accurate while making a network show with social commentary.
It's also kinda interesting to .....insert a IPhone into a show. The episodes that the prior season to their invention they don't have them and then the following season like magic they have them and now they are part of the story line as the use them. Aka product placement.
6 feet under would be a good example that comes to mind because we are binge watching it at the moment.
*******Masters and Johnson on showtime is a excellent show to binge watch and rewatch , there are so many interesting characters and its story line was ground breaking at the time.

Where exactly did i suggest that? In fact, i said that we all found nothing off with it when we first saw it, way back when.
Noting that an old favourite has become uncomfortable viewing doesn't translate to a demand that history be rewritten.
Perhaps you should consider going and fucking youself

Always a classic and I have a great "Norm" story.

I suppose I could. You’re far from the first to offer that suggestion.

Richard Ayoade cracks me up. He's just as funny on talk shows and panel games as he is in scripted comedy.

i actually agree with dolf's post, regarding how times--and public awareness--have changed. there are lots of films and programmes that reflected the attitudes of the day we now see through a new perspective.
i hate watching those films where the woman is just a stereotype foil to the "man", either in need of rescuing and entirely dimwitted/incapable of thinking for herself or a harpy or a tart. 2D characters written in just to make the guy characters look good/evil. today, those damned hallmark movies still fall into the same sort of writing styles and i can NOT abide them.
m*a*s*h isn't really one of those shows for me, though, as there is layering to the main characters beyond the initial stereotypes that is revealed over time.

Some of my favorite older authors are like that - john Buchan and particuarly Sapper's Bulldog Drummond books - the villains are desricbed in racist terms.
I just have to ignore the parts that would be offensive now and accept that was the mindset of the time.
