Never watched one minute of the show. I am assuming since the show appears to be a low priority for the Social Justice Warrior (SJW) crowd the jokes must have been harmless. The only people who can be made fun of are white christian hetreo men.

With this week’s 100% anti Trump episode it seems they also want to phase out viewers.I know I’m one gone.

Every joke offends someone, somewhere. So I think it’s best if they just phase out jokes entirely. But use a laugh track. That way people will know they’re still watching a comedy.

They could just change the name to “Family Gay”. There is already “Trans-parent”. So, so, so......sickening.

Hey gay people, if you want to have equality, you need to be able to laugh at yourselves.

One of the best (barbershop quartet!)
and the vasectomy primer......
“Christmas is Killing us”
“Mr. Booze” (parody/cover from “Robin and the Seven Hoods”)
Any or all of the “on the road to...” parodies
“A Bag of Weed” (Parody/cover from “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...Dick Van Dyke at his best!)

The offense ‘buffet’ could survive the loss of the gay jokes, but it would just make it a smaller buffet. Keep the music though, McFarland has a knack for putting the tunes together...

TV should just be old black/white film of Chinese people wearing Mao suits riding bicycles in the streets. No color, no freedom.

Am I to assume they will write off Herbert the Pervert?

If not, why not?

I figure this scene from Blazing Saddles will probably be criminalized any moment now:
