[Ditka Butkus]

All In The Family is still playing in reruns

Those were the days.

Just watched the Sammie Davis Jr. episode and Archie used the term Jungle B's..unbelieveable that this show still plays..

I don't think some of you understand cultural history and context.

Having lived through All in the Family, Maude, Good Times, etc. They were controversial then. Shows about rape, abortion, civil rights. They fought hard to put these episodes out there and it was touch and go some weeks.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Only by a director who knows to give the governor a harrumph.

I do think the captive audience of network TV had a bit to do with it. Today it might be edgier and get on FX or something.

[Mr. Know-It-All]

Not while everyone's dancing around like a bunch of Kansas City ######s.

Good lord, I actually laughed out loud - forgot about that line - and now my cube mates think I am stranger than they already thought I was.

"what are your qualifications?"

"rape, murder, arson and rape"

"you said rape twice!"

"I like rape"

Squishy, that was an interesting story you posted. It was a pretty different time indeed.

 

[Sabertooth]

Every scene with Gene Wilder in Blazing Saddles is perfect.

Play Chess.......

Sir, he specifically requested two "######s". Well, to tell the family secret, my grandmother was Dutch.

Taggart: Well, that's where we go a-ridin' into town, a-whompin' and a-whumpin' every livin' thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the women folks, of course.

Hedley Lamarr: You spare the women?

Taggart: Naw, we rape the #### out of them at the Number Six Dance later on.

Hedley Lamarr: Marvelous!

Bart: Mornin', ma'am. And isn't it a lovely mornin'?

Elderly Woman: Up yours, .

Hedley Lamarr: Give the Governor harrumph!

Politician: Harrumph!

Governor William J. Le Petomane: You watch your ###.

Doesn't hold up well? Seriously?

Difficult to imagine it with the racial and gay overtones.

 

[Flying V]

I'd like to see David Chappelle take a crack at it.

 

[kentric]

Whenever I hear the N word, or cracker, honkey, etc. I think of this.

Couldn't find the full skit though.

I think he'd do a great job. Would love to see his spin on it.

They couldn't make Charlie Chaplin movies today. Peoples tastes change.
