The politically correct folk turn their attentions to Only Fools and Horses?

Allo Allo was one of the worst shows on TV, bloody awful, people only watched it because there were only 3/4 channels back then. :p

Lol, talking of which, it always amuses me when talking to my 20 something kids and their friends, when they are gobsmacked that we only had 3 tv channels and that the tv used to stop at night and wouldnt continue until the next morning. 3 channels? They scream, what did you used to do to pass the time with only 3 channels??? :D

Waiting for half of Sunday just to watch 1, maybe 2, Tom and Jerrys. No patience kids these days.
 
There are different shows made for different people, but these entitled children want everything to be about them and for them?
Naked Attraction is only good for half an episode....if you know what I mean.
 
Then you go on YouTube and see the likes of grown ass men talking about comics and video games, and Doctor Who. FKN grow up guys. HeelvsBabyface, Nerdrotic etc.

I've been rewatching Person of Interest these past few weeks, When I first watched it, it was just some light entertainment. On 2nd viewing omg my mind is so full of this SJW carp from YouTube that it's warped how I see the show now.

Just wait until they see that new show where Anne Boleyn is played by a black actress. Those youtubers you mentioned will explode , I can see it now "oh oh...so...would it be ok for a film about Martin Luther King or Muhammad Ali to be made with a white guy playing them?". Theres going to be some pretty hilarious youtube rants around !

The exact instances the author of that piece cites - she has completely misunderstood the point of.

Grandad's inability to pronounce a name, and Del's attitude to things are poking fun at Grandad and Del, not at the owner of the name and women.

Who the hell thinks we're supposed to look up to Del-boy as a role model? He's a figure of ridicule throughout the entire show.

All that said - Open All Hours is the superior show anyway.

I think this point is missed with a lot of the outrage directed at older shows. We're laughing at the character, not with them. You don't look at Alan Partridge and say "I want to be like him", you laugh at him because he's a ******* moron who gets himself into ridiculous situations.

What you might call the Frank Spencer effect.
 
What a load of tosh!

Love Thy Neighbour wouldn't get a lot of love these days either, despite the context it was written in.
