There are a lot of television shows that simply could not be made today. Even though they may have been super popular at the time they aired, we've (hopefully) evolved as a society. Many of the themes that seemed acceptable then just wouldn't be today. Looking back on sitcoms like Three's Company and Bosom Buddies, they now feel troubling with obvious themes of homophobia and transphobia. Some shows have characters that perpetuate tired tropes, such as the annoying, nagging wife, featured in series like Everybody Loves Raymond and Married... With Children. There's one more example of a sitcom that could never be produced in today's climate, and it's pretty shocking that we once thought it had an acceptable premise.
