When I was a kid, I would watch “Married with Children” until I reached a catatonic state. I was obsessed. But today – only 20 years later – it seems like characters like Al Bundy and company would be kicked off the air after making one of their many politically incorrect jokes.
Would Al Bundy survive today’s scandal-obsessed world? Are you insane? Here are a few reasons he’d be booted faster than you can say “No Ma’am.”
4. Promoting the ‘dumb blonde’ stereotype.
5. Cultural insensitivity.
7. Smoking on TV. (What about the children?)
8. Joking about killing your family.
11. Teaching kids that violence is the answer.
12. Frequently bashing the French.
13. Treating women like objects.
14. Gross displays of male comfortability.
16. And finally…fat-shaming.
