There was a time, and I have said it before, that comedy was used to spotlight and show how damned stupid prejudices are.

Today, there is no way a Sanford and Son could be made. All In The Family, Archie Bunkers Place, The Jeffersons, The Honeymooners', Bosom Buddies, Chico and the Man and others I just can't remember. Folk have grown tissue thin skin and could not survive George Jefferson or Archie Bunker having a full-blown meltdown. As a kid I could not get enough of Redd Fox, Demond Wilson and the hilarious LaWanda Page. Damn we grew up on some "grow some thick skin" TV, and we are better for it.
