Just finished binge-watching 30 Rock and was constantly reminded there is no chance that show could be made today. They made fun of white, black, Asian, fat, skinny, tall, short, bald, gay, straight, democrat, republican, and old people to name a few. It was funny as hell and as far as I know, no one picketed or tried to cancel them.
To their credit, they didn't distribute the episodes with black face to streaming.
We old geezers around here grew up on political comedy. I remember LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Regan, Bush, and Clinton jokes. Sad to say those days are gone as well.
One of the least offensive comics, Jerry Seinfeld, will not even play college campuses anymore. That's sad because campus venues are a great place to catch shows. I saw Seinfeld, Bill Mahre, Sarah Silverman, Joe Rogan, and Penn and Teller at Bass Concert hall at UT Austin, all in about 18 months.
