ROFL I have been watching the reruns on a classic channel. I realize that show All in the Family would have never been created today because everyone is so dam sensitive or so political correctness.

It wasn’t created to be what it became then, either. The anticipation was the Archie’s mindset would repel the viewer, not identify with him much as, to Michael Douglas’s surprise, many people liked his “Greed is good” Gekko character.

Leftist assumptions that everyone agrees with their idea of what makes for the bad guy sometimes reveal their disconnect from the other half of the population.

Good one, I feel like I’ve been in a spaceship in suspended animation for 30 years and came back to a different planet. If was orbiting the Earth and monitored the radio signals, I would not really want to come down, that is, until I run out of food, my solar panels start to crap out, my batteries die, etc, then I’d have no choice.

Yeah, we had a lot more freedom in he 1970's and 1980's. Heck, I watched a show called "The Bold Ones" that ran from 1969 to 1974. They rotated the show between the "New Doctors," "Lawyers," "Policemen" and a Senator in Washington. The Lawyers starred, Burl Ives James Farantino and Joe Campenella. One show was about a young kid who was in the Black Panthers and the case was where he was accused and put on trail for killing a cop on a raid by opening a door and pushing him off the fire escape. He was truly innocent, his father wanted to warn him about the raid and in doing so, accidently bumped the cop to his death. Later on, his father committed suicide and let a letter confessing to the crime and the kid was deemed not guilty. I watched the episode and I remember a couple of the line where the accused was so cynical at the court where he just yelled at hte judge and to all where he was guilty because "I'm just a ni----." He said that several times in the show. That episode was made in 1970. I seem to remember a quote from Michael Savage, "you father had more freedom in 1970 than you do now."

A side note, I remember a 1969 episode of the New Doctors where they were assigned to give a fine toothed comb physicals to the upcoming Apollo 12 mission (OK now alternate history) and one of the astronauts was Black and it showed the pressure the media would put on him being the first Black man to go into space and walk on the Moon.
