funny or not

What is considered humorous?  I have been seeing a few new sitcoms coming on TV soon.  Some are already on and some are new ones that will make their debut soon.  You know how they show you a few snippets of what the show will be about.  Kind of a tease to get you interested in tuning in to watch.  I remember watching shows in the past, probably long past, that were really funny.  I enjoyed watching those shows and laughing.  I mostly watch shows now days that are hour long stories.  Some are too graphic and some I want to make sure I am not watching while eating because of all the blood and gore!  So you would think I would be so happy about the new shows that they are advertising as a lot of laughs.  Well my idea of funny has either changed a lot or I don't understand funny anymore!  In the past the comedy shows were funny and not so whats the word I am looking for...edgy?  Now they are so close to being off color and no taste.  The language is as close as you can get to saying something the FCC doesn't allow.  A lot of innuendos  and references that are supposed to be amusing, I guess.  Gosh I must be getting old.

  1. I agree. They are downright disgusting in some cases. I think decency is something hollywood has lost sight of.
    I watch the Turner Classic movies and the old shows like Gunsmoke etc. At least I know they don't have language problems. And yup, some are just way too graphic.
