TV Is Pretty Awful These Days, but...
My family got its first TV in 1952, when I was about 7 years old. Every afternoon, I'd watch a kid's show on the tube after school. Things were primitive, and budgets at stations were tiny. So, they ran old animated cartoons from the 20s and 30s on that show. They were pretty awful, and had elements of racism and other negative things in them, but that's what was on TV those afternoons. Here's one of the actual cartoons I remember seeing, made in the thirties. TV is different now. Now we have Fox News to get our bigotry. This is what we had then. Watch it through. "Farmer Al Falfa:"
Ok then.

3. You don't have to be an old geezer
I was raised on Bugs Bunny cartoons made during WWII that were really racist. It was only when I became an adult effeminate liberal putz, that I realized how racist they were.
Nahhh, Looney Tunes, as old as they are, is still pretty damn funny.

Bugs Bunny s the best cartoon ever written. There was some humor in there that you had to be n adult to understand. Not because it was dirty, but just a little deeper than the average DUmmie could understand. I'm a fricasseeing rabbit :)

MM ... what a gull-a-bull!

Rockhead is such a maroon.

This one would make their heads truly explode:
"Destination Earth" (1956) from the American Petroleum Institute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd8Dnz72C1Q

Disagree, Felix the Cat was the best cartoon ever written! :cheersmate:

I do have to agree with him, the networks use it to push their twisted morals and liberal agenda. Including hate for our country, perversion, drug abuse and sex. I guess that's why all those dummies are so screwed up. :thatsright:

@67Rover
Foghorn Leghorn and The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
-
The old Warner Brothers cartoons and Rocky & Bullwinkle are essential American culture. Likewise Abbott & Costello, Laurel & Hardy and a host of others
-
Heheh, I still remember 'Gremlins from the Kremlin,' the Daffy Duck version of 'One of Our Aircraft (Flyer, really, in his case) Is Missing,' and Tojo behind the 8-ball in a Fleischer Popeye cartoon. Great stuff!
-

No. But we can ridicule them for such idiocy.
-
Redd Foxx (Sanford & Son) answers the doorbell to find a swaddling baby on his step. He cantankerously uncovers its face to reveal a white-baby.... Hilarious reaction-shot.
W.C. Fields is a politician kissing babies while talking. Somebody gives him a baby and he kisses it, then realizes it's a black-baby... Hilarious reaction-shot.
Libs need to get a sense-of-humor about science and social-behavior. We only live once.

"BLITZ WOLF" is a very funny WWII era cartoon parady of "The 3 Little Pigs" I remember seeing on TV, now considered a "banned cartoon". Political correctness is nothing more than legalized facism...
My fave cartoons are Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, and most anything from Warner Brothers and Hanna-Barbera. I'm not too hard to please... :-)

1. Checking it out tonight
I'd say that TV is at an all time high now. There was the beginning of the reality shows that was horrible but now there are so many formats making really good tv shows
As evidenced by the colossal masterpiece Emmy award winning Handmaid's Tale.
I'll take old time TV shows over the garbage they are pushing out now.

Handmaid's Tale would have won an Emmy if it had been the worst done POS ever aired. It was supposed to be part of Hollyweird's purchase of feminazi peace. It didn't quite work out that way, obviously. For all the many actresses he abused, the shift in entertainment industry creation and promotion, and media/distribution, I think the,"Why now?" question is still valid. Was there a proverbial straw that broke the camel's back, and if so, what/who?
We don't watch much modern programming. Jeopardy, NCIS and NCIS LA, and Scorpion are about it from networks. A couple of veterinarian reality shows, some cooking competition shows, and "Pibulls and Parolees" on cable/satellite channels.

Robert and Laura Petrie (Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore) think there has been a baby switch at the hospital. After telephone tags back and forth they meet the couple with whom they think the switch occurs. Door knocks, open door and enters a laughing Greg Morris (the VERY black guy from Mission Impossible) who says "all this was worth it just to see that look!"
Such a scene could never be on any show today.

I'm with you on ol' Foghorn Leghorn. I also liked the Pink Panther, and The Ant & Aardvark.

Nor could an entire show like The Jeffersons.
Black-businessman becomes a self-made millionaire. I think 'lib pressure' has kept syndication of that show to a bare minimum of airings.

@Drafe Hoblin
I think what the BLM crowd and the NAACP "image" people would object to is that Jefferson was a buffoon that even his family made fun of. The show continually ridiculed black racism,and black racism is the bread of butter of organizations like the "National Associate for the Advancement of Communist Persons" and BLM.

I didn't think of that. Yep, that sounds more logical.
