Jerry Seinfeld Slams 'Extreme Left, PC Crap' for Ruining Comedy
Newsmax ^ | April 29, 2024 | Zoe Papadakis

Jerry Seinfeld took aim at the "extreme left" and political correctness, which he said have ruined television comedy.

During an appearance on David Remnick's "The New Yorker Radio Hour" the comedian expressed his discontent while discussing how "serious aspects of the world" affect him and his comedy.

"Nothing really affects comedy," he said, according to the Daily Caller. "People always need it. They need it so badly and they don't get it. It used to be you would go home at the end of the day — most people would go, Oh, 'Cheers' is on, Oh, 'M*A*S*H' is on, Oh, 'Mary Tyler Moore' is on, 'All in the Family' is on.

I thought that this entertainment article might be good for discussion.

Yay, Jerry!

So, did that parakeet ever figure out it was him in the mirror?

He’s 100% on point. Can anyone imagine the kickback for showing All in the Family, The Jeffersons, or God forbid a Richard Stand up. LOL what about The Toy where Jackie Gleason hired Pryor to be his kids toy. There is no more entertainment
on television.

Since it’s off 98% of the time, my fat screen TV should last me 30+ years.

I don't think the parakeet ever figured it out.

I really enjoyed the series end when the group broached the conundrum of The Law requiring an observing private party to take a side in dispute among others.

I don’t know Cheers, but MTM, M*A*S*H, and All in the Family were thinly disguised left wing anti-American propaganda - and they worked!

Yep. The one exception is in Islamic countries. They have no sense of humor. It’s such a strange concept to them that it leaves them stunned and confused. Albert Brooks once did a special on how funny it was to do stand-up comedy in Islamic Countries. Truly astonishing. Shakespeare to Pigs.

Excellent Mark Dice YouTube video posted today. He covers this, and shows examples of other TV skits from the past that would never be allowed to be made today. It's 18:11 minutes but well worth it.
