Old TV characters that wouldn't fly today

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

I was introducing my kids to MASH and the character, Spearchucker, would clearly never be allowed today.

 

What are some others?

[patweisers44 706]

Archie Bunker comes to mind pretty quickly.

B. A. Baracus

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get it? He wouldn't fl......, never mind.

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

Archie Bunker comes to mind pretty quickly.

I meant more of the name than the words. Fred Sanford was another good one if we go with the expanded list.

[patweisers44 706]

Richard Stabone, aka Boner from Growing Pains

Van Dyke

What are some others?

One time, they needed to come up with some money. I think Trapper said something like " maybe we can sell Spearchucker while he's asleep".

I loved RD on the feud. He would always say "this is for luck" when he kissed the girl. Might as well have just said "this is because I'm a pervert"

I wanted his job when I was a kid. Only later did I find out you get get more from women than just kisses but it was super cool to see somebody able to kiss all these women when you're 7. Actually, I knew there was something else going on because I didn't just watch the Family Feud, I also watched the Newlywed game so I was sure there must have been kissing involved there too.

Why is D1ck van Dyke getting mentioned? Is this some inside joke? He's not even a character, he's an actor. There's nothing politically incorrect about Rob Petrie is there? I think I'm missing something.

Gene Rayburn from Match Game

I think that having a name that has D!ck in it along with the lesbian slur word would render him unable to be on a show.

 

I think that people forget characters like Diane Choksondik, Big Gay Al, Dr. Martin Poonlover, and Mr. Hankey the Christmas poo.

We can't even type the word on this board, that is why you used the 1. Censorship is a beautiful thing.
