Politically Incorrect TV
November 17th 2010 03:32
Remember The Benny Hill Show and how we simply accepted bawdy old Benny Hill chasing suspender clad nurses, receiting lewdish ballads or wryly grinning as the innuedo's flowed freely around television living rooms throughout 93 countries across the globe.
Or how about the Black and White Minstrel Show complete with Anglo-Celtic singers, dancers and performers decked out in their very best ho-down and hayseed gear complete with black face and nigh a thought to any social misjudice.
Or taking a different line altogether - "Leave It To Beaver" and June Cleaver who set women up for a fall, by wearing a dress, heels, pearls and an apron every day of her life on the show.
In fact I don't think I remember ever seeing her anywhere in the house besides the kitchen and the dining room.
But are their any programs that have stuck in your 'craw'?
