It wasn't very good but I clearly remember an English show (we had a lot of them in Aus) in the early 80's that even then I thought, wow, they are showing this? It had Sid james and it was based around a black couple moving into a white neighbourhood. It was brutal, i remember one quote so clearly, the black wife was preggers and Sid says to his wife in a panicked voice "they have them in litters you know".

If any of these shows DID air today they'd be a altered to be more woke and PC.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned The Office.

Benny Hill was aired on our public broadcasting channel so they left the boobs in. That was something on a 1979 American TV with a coat hanger antenna.

Although no boobs, we'd always stick around and watch a very dry witted humorist presenter tell stories just sitting in a chair on a stage. The Dave Allen Show was one of our faves growing up.

That skit with Pryor and Chase was something else. That would’ve never flew today.

Don’t know what to say about Pat.

That is brutal. If 'Wokeness' targets stuff like that, I'm all for it. However, if it tries to say there's something wrong w 'Baby It's Cold Outside', that's when one knows they've gone insane.

I think it's hilarious that 'woke' turned into a somewhat derogatory word, much like 'liberal' in Yankeeland.
