The days of good TV are long gone. The writing was good,the characters were strong and you could feel for them,and sex wasn’t pushed in our faces. Sure,it was dicussed but it wasn’t promoted.
‘Good Times’,’The Jefferasons’,’One Day At a Time’,etc. were good shows and I enjoy watching the re-runs.
(I know Norman Lear produced them but they were still good).
Imagine a show called ‘Good Jewish Bitches’?
A few years back I rented some Amos and Andy tv episodes on tapes (that's how long ago it was...it was on vhs!),and,from the shows that I saw,it was no more "offensive" to blacks than Green Acres and the Beverly Hillbillies were to whites.
IIRC,on the RADIO show,however,it was originally white performers playing the parts of the black characters which was what black people were offended by.

Write or call, talking does nothing!
I DVRd this show the other night just to see if it was as “bad” as the previews looked. I like good comedy as much as the next person; but this show was nothing but unfunny trash; one gratuitous swipe at Christians after another. So bad I looked up the sponsors and emailed Kraft a polite email requesting they spend their advertising dollars elsewhere. Happy to see this morning that they (Philadelphia Cream Cheese) have pulled their advertising.

You might think it is ok or even funny to diss Christians with this show. I think it is sick.
Christians are very tolerant but I draw the line here...
You would never air a show called “Good Muslim Bitches or Good Jewish Bitches or Good Lesbian Bitches or even Good Black Bitches”
because it would be wrong to do so, so why do you think you can do it with Christians?
I suggest you take the show down and apologize or lose viewers and hopefully advertisers as they will be contacted next!
Nobody is saying that it infringes on Christians rights. And where in the article does anyone mention legislation or court orders?
But what’s your objection to people choosing to not to business with a company which supports activities which they find offensive?
Or is free speech only for the MSM?
Thank you Linda. ABC is here in town, and I will be calling them tomorrow.

Include a slap at conservative,Southern women as well.
Exactly. I could give you the names of at least 30 such women from where I grew up. Going to church is a social event down South. So, there are plenty of people who go there who really don’t care a lot about the beatitudes.
Thanks for the link. Sent my complaint today.
That option no longer seems to be available. But you can send an email as i did,
While you imagine a show about Christian hypocrisy to be funny, those of us who try not to be hypocrites do not find this funny, as hypocrisy is not funny.
In addition, your own hypocrisy is showing, as you would not dare to name a show “Good Muslim Bitches,” or even “Belles” (being pressured to change it), and anything close to such derogation would find you basically kowtowing from here to Mecca in official contrition.
“Antichrist Broadcasting Channel”
Now that’s a fitting title. Even with Jennings gone.
