Sitcom BS du Jour

People love to look at old sitcoms and GASP! about how "this show could NEVER be made today!", of which I just heard today about, of all shows, The Office. Let me explain it to you this way:

1. it's a credit to society how quickly we became uncomfortable with a lot of the gay/race jokes from the show

2. if you literally just cut every gay/race joke out of the entire series it would change the show about 0.1%; if you watched the show w/o being told they'd removed said jokes the odds of you noticing are somewhere between 0% and 0%

3. as opposed to a show like All in the Family, for which such language was part of the basis for the entire point of the show

4. so the next time someone is talking about a show you like and they say, "this show could NEVER be made today!" just answer with "Well then I guess we're all lucky they made it when they did", shrug your shoulders & walk away.

You're welcome, Earf!
