Television of the 70s
I personally did not enjoy the television of the 70s that much. I believe the show that we watched that represented the conservative and liberal viewpoints highlighted both of them nicely, but a line was crossed. The television show that we watched focused too much on racial jokes and I did not find them funny at all. I believe there was a different type of humor during that time that people would not find funny now. I also believe that our humor would probably make the people of the 70s feel uncomfortable also. I did not enjoy the television shows because they focused too much on a sense of humor that just did not appeal to me. Overall the television of the era to me was mediocre, I wish that the jokes were a little more on a cleaner side regarding race because it is an extremely sensitive topic and the show we watched made some below the belt punch lines regarding them.

Yeah, it's interesting that the humor in sit-coms of the time was much more socio-political, and not so much sex jokes, and now we've flip-flopped to fart humor and not the socio-political. Any thoughts about why that switch was made? What about the other shows? Is there one that you think represents the 70s best?
