"Many comedy shows are just one big string of sexual innuendos, and most of them not so subtle."

Wait a second...

Very true. Now they slam you in the face with a sledghammer.

Think about all of the pathetic garbage that show paved the way for...

What’s interesting about 3’s Company vs. today’s shows is that 3’s Company was always intended to be a sex farce, nothing else, while the shows today are supposed to be comedies about “family” or working in an office, etc, but throw in all of the sex jokes (badly) gratuitously without any of the elaborate setup that 3s Company had. In addition, the humor in 3s Company worked primarily because the characters (and the audience) were NOT crude, crass, vulgar people - they were regular people that found themselves in odd circumstances with sexual overtones (every episode had at least one gag where a misheard conversation was taken completely the wrong way).
