It would have taken another immortal to keep up with him.

So much for Jerry Seinfeld's recent remarks suggesting that "wokeness" may be preventing conventional sitcoms from airing on TV (including streaming services):

Could the same apply to animation in the classic Saturday-morning vein, especially considering that the Children's Television Act in the United States mandates TV stations' setting aside at least three hours per week to programming "meeting the special educational or informational needs of children"?

Blansky's Beauties

Well, I’m in a super Las Vegas kinda place at the moment, and I know why. The third season of Hacks is out, and I just posted on Pete Barbutti, who still performs regular shows there, and we re-watched Showgirls a couple of months ago, as we periodically do, as it continues to yield so many unintended rewards. And today being the birthday of the late Nancy Walker, the natural outcome is that I…

Hattie McDaniel, star of radio's The Beulah Show, with her co-stars. McDaniel was the first African-American to star in her own show. Previous to that, Beulah was played by two white actors in succession!

The format was a daily 15-minute sitcom. The show later moved to television. McDaniel was too ill to continue, so Louise Beavers took over the role.

In the next chapter from the Rhapsodies Archives, we meet Michelle's best friend and housemate Nancy, who seems to have some history with Brian. Kate wants all the dirt!

I do think Blazing Saddles handled its one depiction of native americans very poorly, and the full extent of its representation of chinese workers on the railroad is they were literally just there. not even one single speaking line. unclear if this is worse or better than the redface.

it's fucking phenomenal at lampooning antiblack racism though. extremely blatant, extremely funny satire, which is constantly and loudly saying "racism is the philosophy of the terminally stupid at best and morally depraved at worst, and we should all be pointing and laughing at them 24/7"

plus the main character is a heroic black man who has to navigate a whole lot of bullshit but is constantly smirking at the extraordinarily stupid racists and inviting the audience into the joke. the one heroic white character is a guy who was suicidally depressed until he met the protagonist and they just instantly became buds, and he's firmly in a supporting role the whole time and happy to be there. the protagonist saves the day with the help of his black friends from the railroad, and uses the position of power he was given to uplift not only those friends, but all the railroad workers of other minorities too, in an explicit show of solidarity.

anyone saying "Blazing Saddles is racist" had better be talking about its treatment of non-black minorities. it had better not be such superficial takes as "oh but they say the n-word all the time" or "they have nazis and the kkk in there!" because goddamn if that's the full extent of your critique I very seriously suggest you read up on media analysis. there is too much going over your head, you need to learn to recognize satire.

TV trends of 1965

This article from the mid 60s is a fascinating look at TV65. Some familiar classics but also several that I’ve never heard of.

(nature au) you said that while dale dislikes dev using a cane in the house he doesn’t really care too much, but what if dev used a cane in public? i can’t imagine dale would be okay with that at all. he’d be pissed, like confiscate the cane kind of pissed

Originally the gag here was just going to be Dev clinging onto his dads arm for dear life while he shivers like a chihuahua but he is just. So small.. I couldnt get it to look reasonable

Looks like the entire household is together! I wonder where Miss. Toriel is?
