[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sitcoms today are toned down for a dumber audience. Ever catch an old episode of The Golden Girls? They were constantly talking about sex, homosexuality, orgasms, and other "adult" themes that wouldn't fly today, because of some puritanical person screaming "but think of the children!" The show is hilarious when I can watch it, often dark and suggestive even sometimes vulgar. These days people freak out if they hear an an academic discussion with real, biological terms - it's like we've gone back in time. [/quote]

love love love the golden girls!

i have to admit there were a couple episodes of everybody loves raymond that i laughed out loud. king of queens too. but not all.

i tried to watch trophy wife when it aired and it was horrible. i went online the next day to see it actually had some pretty decent reviews so maybe i just expect more.

i will watch the cosby show, seinfeld, friends, good times everytime i see it on.

also i will second or third whoever has listed arrested development and curb your enthusiasm. well curb isn't really appropriate for kids but i'm fairly sure my mom would've let me watch it growing up.[/quote]
