MASH, even if set in the same time period would have to be a total different show.
Hawkeye would be #metoo'd off the planet

Bosom Buddies, the entire premise of the show was 2 guys pretending to be women to be able to get an apartment in NYC
aint gonna fly today.

Cheers, womanizing bartender, nope.
Soap, mild comedy that mocks every category? nope

most of the 70s and 80s television couldnt be made today or it would have to be majorly overhauled and watered down so as not to offend anyone.

I feel like some of you guys don't watch TV. You really think Cheers wouldn't be made today because of Sam? Have you ever watched Lucifer?

I think Cheers might not get remade today but it has way more to do with the jokes than with any of the characters. That show didn't really age well.

I don't think since of you watch TV. Being able to laugh at the pain of others isn't allowed anymore? Have you seen F is for Family or BoJack?

I agree- MASH wouldn't cut it. Not politically (as an anti- Vietnam war show, thinly veiled as a Korean War story) or because of the characters. Also, every surgeon would have to be black or female.

I mean... Seems they already did something

Love American Style
Rockford Files
Bewitched
I Dream of Genie


Why "The Rockford Files?" One of my favorites of all time. Why have plot and characters anymore? And the car! Loved it. But why wouldn't it cut it now? Too intelligent?

From earlier today
But still nothing will beat what I posted earlier - Something About Miriam - a group of men trying to woo a woman who is secretly a transsexual. The transsexual in question killed herself last year

i remember talk about a rockford reboot, had to look it up. NBC tried a reboot in 2010, but apparently the director and nbc were not on the same page. in 2012, Vince Vaughn was looking to produce and star in a reboot, but was shelved after garner died in 2014.

Who can get into the minds of SJWs? I mean Castle was the spiritual successor. I loved Rockford Files, but it could never be made today.

You can't do that on television. In the school Detention skits the principal had a German accent and wore a brown uniform reminiscent of an SS officer. Also the kids were chained to a wall in a dungeon.

"Stripes"

I don't even see it being re-run anymore. Lots of reasons for no, but that "Do Ron Ron Ron" with immigrants would not cut it (but soooo funny).
