Fraiser and that Chucky show.
Roughly five minutes into both we find out the sons are gay. And in Chucky the Dad is openly homophobic lol
I knew it was unlikely that I'd get into either show, but I thought I'd last longer than 5 minutes.
Not a very interesting post I know but whatever. Fraiser is one of my favorite sit-coms and it's too bad they couldn't do a decent follow up. (though they probably never should have tried)
Funnily enough I decided to check out the new Frasier yesterday, I skipped ahead to about halfway in the first episode and the first thing I saw was a black woman saying how "men are afraid of strong women", and I knew it wasn't Frasier anymore.
I can imagine an old episode of Frasier might have someone like that call into his show and sound like a crazy person, and Frasier would have a normie liberal comeback like "Oh no caller, I think you'll find a lot of us men deep down love strong women". We didn't treat the feminists as threats but as confused extremists. Maybe their fathers didn't love them enough.
Eh they very rarely did politically charged humor on Frasier, the ones that did were often the most hated episodes in the series lol. (e.g. When they brought on that black woman to be Frasier's producer, and Frasier was afraid of appearing racist if he criticized her)
Usually it was just random nonsense that is unique to their lives or otherwise basic things that only the terminally online would try to make political.
I doubt we could even have that today.
Oh yeah, for sure.
Funnily enough, Frasier actually does a stereotypical impression of a sassy black woman in that episode and its hilarious, would definitely be considered racist in current year.

There was an episode or two where Frazier's new on air assistant gave her opinions and people liked her more. She was a big black woman.
Frazier of course hated it.
