Love Thy Neighbour. A comedy where the whole joke was that the next-door neighbours were black.
Mind Your Language - A comedy about a guy teaching English to people of various nationalities. It was full of stereotypes.

Nothing I love more than a good western.
Don't make them as good anymore because of these sensitive woke idiots.

Shows like How where they used to show little experiments and tricks you could do at home. It would probably have to be a youtube channel to survive nowadays.

Till Death Us Do Part
In Sickness and in Health
Alf Garnett was a racist bigot but it was him who always ended up worse off, unfortunately the po-faced lefties of today would be up in arms against it , even though it showed Alf to be the idiot in the show.

Fantasy Football League would never be allowed today, unless it was stripped of all that made it entertaining.

Power Rangers. Kids lashing a few jump kicks into each other after a show and it would be cancelled.

Re: Tv Shows that wouldnt work today
Blazing saddles wouldn't be aired, I recently saw an old detective show, I think true detectives maybe, it came with a warning that the show was filmed between 1959 to 1962 and some of the things in it would not be acceptable today, I didn't see anything scandalous but I presume they covered many episodes with the same warning.

Re: Tv Shows that wouldnt work today
Upstairs downstairs would still work today. Look at Downton Abbey, it was basically a carbon copy of it.
There is a new version of Magnum PI out atm. I've only seen the ads but it seems to have none of the charm of the original and ott XXX style stunts and fight scenes.
I think Nash Bridges is making a comeback with Don Johnson again.
Dick Emery had some Irish sketches that probably wouldn't be allowed now.

Re: Tv Shows that wouldnt work today
The entire series seemed to be fomenting a kind of unwritten "Moaist little red book" ideology.
There was a driving song, with some "beep beep" and also a circus songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP1BQHXzIcc
A little methodical, clockwork ideology being promoted.

Prisoner Cell Block-H? Wentworth, the only prison where the walls used to shake when somebody slammed the door
I think they recently remade it too. Is nothing sacred?
Re: Tv Shows that wouldnt work today
^^^ No. An Irish Production
One episode, an inmate captures a female secretary and imprisons her in his cell. Cue prison warden with with M16 outside on a staircase.
Negotiation. The kidnapped secretary is forced to swear that nothing will happen the inmate for this. The secretary is rescued and the inmate gets the shit beaten out of him/ disarmed. The credits role with a freeze of the distressed secretary.
This went out on a Sunday evening. Very very downbeat indeed.

Bottom.
It would get roasted from a PC perspective for being sexist, homophobic, etc despite the show being entirely based around the two leads being idiotic losers who offend and alienate almost everyone around them.

I just noticed that I have the first post in this thread even though I did not start the thread! I wonder was there an OP which was subsequently deleted!
