For some reason a name of a TV show popped into my head the other day and sadly my first thought was "The PC crowd would never allow that show to be called that if it were created today". That show's TV name..."Jake and the Fat Man".

Another show that wouldn't be allowed on TV I don't think is "Bosom Buddies".

What other network TV shows, sticking to the 70's-90's, would not be allowed today?

Not network TV or from the 70's and 80's, but some of the old Bugs Bunny cartoons would never get made today.

All these shows still get made today. They just go to cable with the rest of that kind of stuff, like South Park.

Still, something like Family Guy is on Fox, and that can be as offensive as anything.

Looney Tunes can't show a lot of their old cartoons because of the way they portrayed certain ethnicities.

Soap was pretty cutting edge. They dealt with homosexuality, transgender, race...

That's what I was thinking. Lots of cable shows now a days that people would have flipped the fuck out about 30-40 years ago.

saddest thing that they pussified Popeye in the later years as it was deemed to violent

much safer for the kids to play video games I guess

The Andy Griffith Show lacked diversity, so the greatest show of all time probably wouldn't make the cut.

Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life probably wouldn't be allowed on Nickelodeon. They show the old cartoons sometimes, but they won't replay them.

Fantasy Island. We're not supposed to laugh at midgets. Or call them midgets.

The Jeffersons. George was a bit racist towards white people.
