I think we should have a thread for sggestions for some easily accessible, classic entertainment that is uninfected by this crap.

Stuff like Tolkien or C.S. Lewis are obvious, but other authors, movies, music, or entertainment might not be as well known.

So, how about a thread that lists some recommendations for things untouched by modern insanity?

Just seeing the thread title I was going to post a rec for Cheers. There are some shows I liked in my youth that have held up like shit, and then on the other end of the spectrum there's Cheers. I think it's gotten better with age, when compared against the crapola on TV these days. The humor - especially in the first 3-4 seasons - is hyper-literate while still being accessible. It's in a completely different universe from whatever today's crop of smirky midwit hipster asshole TV writers are barfing out. I never really thought about the show being especially woke or anti-woke, but it's funny as hell and there's some stuff in it that I'm sure people would get their panties in a wad about today (how homosexuality is dealt with, relatively few black people, etc.). Probably my favorite TV series of all time.

As far as other boomer sitcoms, I'll put in a plug for The Jeffersons and Sanford & Son. Both are basically not a hell of a lot more than insult comedy showcases for their respective stars, but holy shit is it really good insult comedy. Black people ripping on white people, other black people, Latinos, Asians, etc., and we can all laugh about it. Basically how real life should be.

Actually, add "In Living Color" to that list, too. If Fox were to air any Vera De Milo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9pdX_D8eHY) or Men on Films (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4ojGuA33X4) skit in 2021, it would likely end up with their headquarters being burned to the ground, but back in the early '90s this sort of thing was known as "comedy".

As a white person who mocked that BLM Army "bullpup" twat, I dissent. Stupid people of any race/religion/"lifestyle" deserve mockery, and all they can get.
