    The West Wing.



    Nobody would believe that the US president could be an intelligent, noble, competent leader, with a staff that challenge him instead of yes-men.

    Three's company/Man about the house. Think of the snowflakes...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Sorry, is it only "TV series that would no longer work" because they were ****...?

    If so, OP should have been clearer. If not, you've missed the point!

    Married with Children.

    The early seasons of that programme were genius but so many of the jokes now would be viewed very badly.

    Surprised to see someone say Cheers. Bought the box set recently and, with some exceptions, it still stands up.

    Im watching Curb Your Enthusiasm again at the minute. Great Show but there's one episode i find bit weird. Larry is at a party and some blokes kid is in the nip and Larry starts saying ' congratulations your son has a nice big penis' to the father. And keeps saying it even when the bloke goes mad.

    I just dont get this. See nothing normal or funny in it and if it happened today the show would be taken off air. Im no prude and love a good laugh but its perverted in a creepy way.

    I'm sure Glenroe wouldn't fear so well. Too many of us would be having flashbacks of a Sunday night.

    Calor housewife of the year was gas.

    Rose of Tralee, jesus I was about to say I’d imagine that shows days might be numbered but over 700,000 tuned in to see the last one. :eek: just over a 6th of the population. Madness.
