I'm rewatching season one. Despite the left-liberal slant, it's still more edgy than anything I've seen in what I suspect is the comedy scene of current year. Not that I've really bothered to check things out. Is there anything really worth checking out?
Since the 'Summer Of Love' of 2020 the streaming services (Big Tech) have pulled many episodes featuring blackface as a gag. Most of them from shows of the same time period.
Apparently, even 'Golden Girls' did it at one point. Imagine that. 'Golden Girls' being more edgy than current year.
Even the '10 Jokes From 30 Rock That Have Already Aged Poorly' article on Screenrant, predictably written by a female blogger, is more a promotional ad than anything else. (Although, those tranny episodes were truly cringe. How could they not be?)
Social media, Big Tech and the Democrats really did a number on society.
I never watched 30 Rock during its run, but my girlfriend loved it so I bought the complete BR set a couple years ago.
Despite having the likes of Fey and Baldwin, it's a damned funny show and had some really talented writers. I imagine the people who wrote and starred in it are mortified with their past selves, but that just means I can laugh at their racist and sexist jokes content in the knowledge that it's eating their insides.
Edit: I'd also like to add that Dennis Duffy is one of the funniest characters of any character in sitcom history. Every line is hilarious, and his being a useless degenerate the perfect foil to Lemon's ideal personal life. He named his son Black Dennis. 🤣🤣🤣
Didn't watch the original run either. Was a late convert.
