How the hell did Dr. Who get on this list? How is a character that originally started off as a white man, continually respawns as white man, and might have respawns as a white man wrong? By the way, I'm a black man and I grew up in the 70's and 80's and I experienced my fair share of racism, though compared to the 60's on back, why damn near benign and I had absolutely no problem with the character constantly played by a white man, especially considering the time when it started and when it reached its peak. Most of us who watched Dr. Who back up til now understood that the character became a part of our modern myth as a white man. I mean who of us would be happy with batman being played as anyone else other than a white man? Who of us would be happy if wonder woman was played as anyone other than a white woman? Who of us would be happy if Blade or Luke Cage or Black Panther would be played as anyone other than a black man? Etc. Now, dont get me wrong, if they would have done it right, maybe it could have worked with the Dr. being played as a woman, but they decided to make it all about her being a woman that's the Dr., and not about the Dr. that just happens to be a woman. There is a difference between the two. Also, I dont see that as being very progressive when all the did was replace a white man, with a BLONDE white woman. Next to certain groups complaining that too many "white men" are getting the roles, white women (specifically blonde) dominate Hollywood too and those certain groups dont seem to have a problem with that. You cant completely compare today's standards with the past. You guys missed the mark on this one, Mike and you are bordering on the "woke" side of things. You guys made that slip up a few times in the past. Be wary of going too far out either way...
This comment is great, why is every other show on this list about race? More people like you need to speak up because this woke shit is creeping it's way into everything.
Thank u for seeing this as it is, sir. I would also like to point out that Dr. Who is British, and Great Britain doesn't have much of a mixed race population as the US. In fact, when (now former) Prince Harry married Meghan, she was constantly being berated for not being white, and that's why she didn't want to be royal anymore.
Really? Dr Who NEVER CALLED ANYONE A NAME. Never approached anything with racism or ANY racist remarks. Treated and had women as EQUALS and this is picked as number 2? How about we talk! Top of my head fat Albert a cartoon pushed by a known racist and set in the ghetto to say all blacks live in a ghetto. Or many other TV shows that did at the time. how about tv that depicted women as dumb blonds. or that all white men talked and felt like archie? ya! He lost me as a viewer.
No people just have a platform now to call out how bullshit things are. Ever occur that we aren't sensitive now, people were just ignorant or pure assholes back then with no consequences. Just cause you find something funny doesn't mean its acceptable. You're just pissed it's finally being called boomer 😂
Welcome to the pussification of America. Before long the only thing that will be on tv will be just the news bc everything else might offend someone, God help us
Also it was not the Confederate flag on the roof, that flag has 2 red stripes, 1 white stripe, a blue square, and 7 white stars. The flag on the Duke Boys' car is the Stars & Bars flag which was a battle flag.
What's weird though is there's a ton of shows out there that legit are super offensive now yet they weren't brought up yet others were brought up that didn't make any real sense? It's just strange because they're usually on point.
I watched many of the shows on that list. They were fantastic shows! Not inappropriate at all. In fact, even the ones I didn’t watch I don’t believe were inappropriate. I doubt they were in good taste, but I doubt they were inappropriate. I can think of several shows that were and are inappropriate and are not on this list. I was sadly surprised by that.
Either this list was an April Fools Day joke two weeks early, or your writer was deliberately fishing for troll remarks in the comments. Sure, some legit problems, but some were just ridiculous (as witnessed by Mike cracking up at the slo-mo complaint.)
You can “nit pick” all these shows yet no reference to today’s overly violent content and the insistence of ALL tv shows being completely politically correct!!🤬😡

Give me a break! Really? What about All in the Family? The Jefferson's? People get butt hurt over easily avoided shows. Change the channel! Only #7 seems in poor taste. Again, change the channel!
I was just about to post the same thing about "The Jeffersons" and "All in the Family", but I was also going to add "The Benny Bill Show" (a British comedy skit show whose main star was an old man chasing young, half-naked women, making lewd, inappropriate gestures, and even on occasion feeling them up), and several others I can think of that were worse than the ones on this list. I'd say half of the ones they listed were on the list simply to fill space. They should have done more research. This list was seriously bullshit, at least most of it was.
All in the Family wasn't "inappropriate". It was intentionally offensive, or rather Carroll O'Connor's character was. That was the whole point. To highlight the fact that his way of thinking was wrong.
I can't help that racist shows make me ill. So I don't watch them. But other folks can watch them just to have something to become angry about, or they truly enjoy them. It matters not to me. And Benny Hill was just a total Creeper!
Sorry, Guys I had to "bail" out of this. First of it should be titled "Things I hate about British Telly". 2, The American examples are weak too. "Dragnet" OF COURSE showed the criminals being convicted, It was designed to show SUCCESSFUL police work. (and was based on REAL cases,BTW). 2, "Dukes of Hazzard" didn't in any way GLAMORIZE corruption. The "Duke Boys" were the "heroes" of the show because they were the TARGETS of said corruption. And "Happy Days"....Well, I have no words. Actually, I have no words for anything that takes such light comedy so damned seriously...I'm out, Bye!
The fact they didn't bring up shows like All in the Family or Married with Children makes me think that this list wasn't really thought out that well by whoever did their research. Both those shows are considered pretty offensive today to the type of people who get "offended" by things and they weren't mentioned yet other shows that are considered way less offensive like Dragnet & Dr. Who were brought up doesn't make much sense. Some of the shows they brought up do make sense but others don't. Most of the stuff you brought up is all true and also a lot of the things they called "inappropriate" seem more "unrealistic" more than anything... I think whoever did the research for this one was either drunk at the wheel or they were somewhat trolling.
Family Ties was a stupid show but I liked Family Affair where the uncle had his nieces and nephew with a butler which I had always wanted (if I ever get rich) Like Bruce Wayne or I don't want to be like The Clampetts not to be a hayseed and not spend a lot of money 🤑💰 but the Addams Family was a weird but likeable or have a mother like Samantha but these are the classics
@drew pedersen I don't know what "U-tube" is but I posted my video of me hugging a grizzly on UA-cam but the title is in runes so have fun finding it, your turn to hug that cactus and make sure you wear thin clothes and get a running start, I'll be standing by with the iodine.
Somebody tell the writer that there's a significant difference between "inappropriate" and "unrealistic". There seems to be some confusion about that. Also, there really are many small American towns with no minority population.
Enterprize 1701 Only in the original pilot. In the MMPR series Trini was played by the late Thuy Trang and Asian-American actress. In the Sentai on which it’s based the Yellow Ranger’s counterpart is male that’s why there is no skirt on the costume. Also MMPR’s White Ranger is A Native American character as revealed in Season 3’s Zeo quest and continued in Power Rangers Zeo.
Raymond Gerlach In the series proper you ar correct. Though I believe Thuy Trang. In the Original Pilot which can be viewed as a special feature on season of the Shout factory set, A Latin did play the part. She was dropped and Thuy replaced her.
This list is ridiculous. The virtue signalling and SJW alarms are blaring. This list seems to be written by a person who would complain about being given $500 for no reason because it was 5 $100 bills and those are to hard to spend and can't you do it in $20's wahwahwah.
Dr Who had a black Doctor in the latest series. However the female Doctor played by Jodie Whittakier has not really worked. Ratings have fallen drastically.
Ian OTimelord they had several black companions but not a black doctor. I am loving Jodie. But I think with Dr Who, the reasoning given by the doctor is that it is harder for the doctor to get help, help others and do things in society when they appear as a gender or ethnicity or colour that is less socially advantaged during world history. There are VERY few times through the history of planet earth that white men have been any kind of undesirable/attacked group. It does happen, but it is rare. So in order to be the most use to an Ignorant species like us... it makes sense to camouflage as the most popular model.
KT Pinto I LOVED the female version of ghost busters. It was hilarious and the cast was great. Just because you didn’t like it doesn’t mean it was bad :)
Y'all need to learn the difference between the actual confederate flag and a battle flag used to differentiate between troops ie north and south. Nothing more. Not a symbol of slavery since black troops proudly flew into battle
Not to mention the war was about states' rights until the North started losing and to rally support and troops Lincoln made it about Emancipation rather than rights. When he did that then he got more support, troops, and such. That did not happen until 4 years or so into the war.
Oh Mike, did you even read the script? Way too ancient British TV shows not seen in the US. Your performances was pitiful. You could do better with your choice of material , much better. And practice before embarking your self so badly.
Strange. The BBC doesn't poll like the US since they are paid transmitters. Dr Who has run for what, 6 decades? Interestingly, the latest Dr. is a woman. No matter, I disagree with your choices. There are many other shows to choose from.
I have never seen such a blatantly judgmental epitome of political correctness. I have not seen such an absurdly filled egocentric subjective and personal prejudice presentation in my 72 years of existence on this planetary sphere. Tell the writer of this abject drivel to get a life...one which does not involve writing scripts masquerading as objective discourse. Cheers; however, to the narrator and film crew who could not even keep a straight face while presenting this trash.
I literaly have no idea wtf you're talking about with any of these shows. I've never seen them, never even heard of them, and wonder if anyone who would be offended by them is even still alive.
Happy days? Really? Did you ever research what the racial demographics of Milwaukee in the 1950s were? Here, I'll help: predominantly white and middle class. Crazy how research and historical knowledge could help with not being triggered.
I agree. The fact that the Doctor was always a white male was not in any way inappropriate. When Mike mentioned _Doctor Who_ I thought they were going down the racism line, which _was_ inappropriate. Black characters tended to be shown as mentally deficient, neanderthal-like or even mute, such as in _The Evil of the Daleks_ or _The Tomb of the Cybermen._ Things were even worse with the horrendous yellow face in _The Talons of Weng Chiang._ I find it strange that they decided to focus on the white male thing rather than those other glaring issues.
Yeah, Brian I've so far laughed at the silly tings that offend others. I think I'll be offended by snowflakes. I just want to belong and I never got a participation trophy, because we didn't have them thank God.
Inappropriate for the time when these shows aired on, no. Looking back at them now they seem inappropriate based on today's standards. As Bill Maher said "and finally new rule enough with revisiting things stop being surprised every time you watch an old movie or TV show and find some of the ideas in it are old" as well form the Simpsons Lisa said "something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive is now politically incorrect what can you do".
You got it all completely wrong. They were not considered inappropriate at the time, and even now, nothing he said makes them inappropriate in retrospect.
If you want to get into "reality" television there's WWE, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, The Bachelor. All of which could be considered "inappropriate".
Oh yeah those dating shows are kind of inappropriate these days. I was actually thinking, though, that SpongeBob SquarePants (if you have not heard of it, look it up and watch it for all the innuendos… There are many many many), South Park, Beavis and Butthead, stuff like that, The Simpsons… (for kids mostly - because very questionable role models) should’ve made the list instead of all the shows he put on the list. The shows he just put on the list are ludicrous. Maybe some of them were in bad taste, but I wouldn’t say they were inappropriate.
The thing about Happy Days: it was set in the 50's so segregation was to be expected. They did do an episode where Fonzi found a black drummer for their band which highlighted the racism of the day.
The Dukes of Hazzard actually did not defy the laws of physics. It was not special effects when the car was swerving around corners or flying over things, it was really really experienced stunt drivers. So the stunts weren't actually impossible, just incredibly difficult. From what I was told, it was all real (or at least the majority of it). There actually wasn't really a good way to fake it at the time, so it had to be real stunt driving. (Sorry if I sound rude at all. I don't mean to. Just pointing out what I was told)
DR WHO REALLY! I know you do NOT know Dr Who. In the fourth doctor who series the doctor traveled with a a female companion who was his equival as a time lord! As for your comment about it was not until the last doctor wrong! A spinoff of Dr Who with a woman would have been much better received by fans. And I think this subject you should have left out of your channel. I have a feeling your comments on DR WHO will cost you more then one subscriber. I also can think of many other TV shows that actually should have been in the list that you either did not or would not touch.
My favorite part about watching list25 videos is whenever Mike loses his composure, and laughs, sometimes hysterically. I always lose my composure and laugh along with him, lol. Also, I can clearly tell you're losing weight, Mike. Good job! I remember in one of your videos, I think it had to do with body shaming/bullying (I can't quite remember), you mentioned that you were working on losing weight, and I thought you should know that your hard work is paying off.
You have to remember that a lot of these shows were made in different times. Also perhaps you should start editing out all the laughing and that. Because it’s really starting to get OLD.
My son loved Dora The Explorer so much that he once took my car key and hid it. He then said we had to follow the Map to find it. His father and I followed the Map, but the key was not where the Map said it was. By that time, our son forgot where he had actually hidden the key. Fortunately, we had a spare key to the car. A few years later, we found the key in the bottom of an unused drawer :) Fun times!!
THANK YOU for your comments on “Murder She Wrote”. I have always wondered why, after a few episodes, people didn’t run away screaming for fear of their lives when they see sweet Jessica headed their way. Where Jessica goes, death follows.
1.) How do you get 14,000 plus deaths per year, when there were at most 26 episodes per season... and there were nowhere near 3000 deaths per season. 2.) Yes, you would eventually wonder why anyone would stay in Cabot Cove.
Some of these shows are ok but are considered inappropriate now because we have become a society where people find it wrong to have kids go out in the yard to Plat and kids get away with throwing fits for not having their electronics 24/7
The reason no one noticed that Midsomer Murders was so monochromatic is that the premise of each episode was usually so over the top bizzare you spent the entire time trying to figure out what was going on, one episode involved murdering people over a pudding club, another had children tracking down dogs trying to match one to a murderer. The series is so rediculous it's hypnotic.
This list shouldn't be called "Inappropriate"... It should be named, "25 Classic TV Shows Our Writers Didn't Like for Some Reason, So We'll Pick Them Apart".
Two things: 1. About half of the shows mentioned came from the other side of the pond. 2. Most of the shows you mentioned aren't so much as controversial as they unrealistic. One other factoid you left out from the Grizzly Adams series is that he also was friendly with a raccoon too. Raccoons are known for carrying rabies & can do some serious damage. That's one the shows that falls in the unrealistic, but not controversial category. The same for Dragnet, The A-Team, & Dora the Explorer.
To be fair with Baywatch, they needed more stories other than beach rescues... however if you watch Bondi rescue - you will see that both male and female lifeguards do wear skintight swimming gear because it allows them to cut through water faster... also the amount of stuff you have to do to be a bondi lifeguard is nuts - those guys can do triathalons with no issue.
A little constructive criticism: It really isn't reasonable to judge if a show from the distant past was appropriate or not through today's. mores. I agree a show like Heil Honey I'm Home should never have seen the light of day, or a minstrel show. But The Dukes of Hazzard? Even now it is pretty harmless fun, if the biggest complaint is a Confederate flag that's pretty sketchy. But in the 80s no one thought twice about it. Even now, I don't think people see it as a big deal. These guys were just about having fun. There were others where the reasoning was flimsy. Dr. Who? Dragnet? Happy Days? Come on I KNOW y'all are better than this. Where you missed big time were shows that were inappropriate when they aired Perfect example: The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer. That show was reviled when it aired and is still notorious. Homeboys In Outer Space was really poor taste too. Who Wants To Marry A Multi Millionaire. Easily you could have found 25 shows inappropriate when they aired. And that is why I'm disappointed. All that said I'm still glad you did this. And it does seem like others liked it. But a lot didn't. This was not one of your better lists but I'm still a fan of the channel. Keep at it. PS The Donald impersonation slays me every single time.
I'm a little late to this list but watching my dad's expressions while you were correlating his childhood favorites was as hilarious as your midsummer murders fit. Great video guys
Most of these shows are not inappropriate. They just don't portray real life. Anyone who believes that entertainment needs to be realistic needs to be in the real world more. Shows are to escape from reality.
I'm so confused why my definition of "inappropriate" is so different from this videos. Using the word "inappropriate" in the title kinda cracks me up b/c it seems pretty inappropriate😏
I'll give you Three's Company and Bosom Buddies as they were all "Hey let's make fun of gay people and transvestites!" But All in the Family was mocking bigotry, not glorifying it. It wasn't inappropriate. Archie was constantly called out for his behavior.
Those were great shows! I loved those shows. All In The Family was a different type of comedy in the late 70s to bring social issues to the forefront. That was its purpose. Three’s Company and Bosom Buddies were completely appropriate for the time they were produced. And very funny. A couple of really great actors got their start in Three’s Company. Tom hanks got his start in Bosom Buddies.
@@rowynnecrowley1689 Remember when these shows were aired originally. It didn’t occur to them that they were making fun of anyone. I thought they were funny, and it didn’t occur to me that they were making fun of anyone, it also didn’t occur to me that transvestites had anything to do with anything. I just thought the guys were dressing up as women to get into the woman’s hotel. That was the point. I had never heard of a transvestite.
Gotta be honest. The only thing cringeworthy is this list itself. I'm NOT a conservative, but did the writer just look for reasons to find old shows 'inappropriate'? Did ANYONE stop watching Cheers because the characters had poor diets? Ugh.... 🤦♀️ Social norms change. Can't wait for this list writer's fave shows to be lambasted in 20 years for being inappropriate. And yes, they will be.
You do know the blue ranger Billy was a gay guy who was literally ostracized and abused for it, right? Sad stuff. Blue is right, Billy... finding that out broke my heart..
Two of the shows I grew up on were All in the Family and its spinoff The Jefferson's. I'm surprised you didn't include them as, at the time, there was all kind of controversy over them. As for All in the Family, I remember an outtake after Sammy Davis Jr kissed Archie on the cheek when a picture was being snapped and the outtake right after that when Archie gave a full lip lock to Sammy.
You're right, this list is pretty far stretched and reaches pretty far and wide to hit the inappropriate factor for many of the shows listed. Give me a break... There's so many more inappropriate shows I can think of...
I love how the problem with some of these TV shows is they're too good at their job. Thank you for doing the one about The Apprentice in your Trump impersonation.
I must add Blues Clues to this this list, I cant tell you the countless times I would hear my Son say from another room, BLUE SCADOO WE CAN TOO, and an enormous THUD well that is until he learned to stand on his chest of drawers and land on his bed! LOL LOL not to mention he had a pitched low ceiling in his room so he knocked himself out more than once, oh yeah and the broken arm from MISSING THE BED! WHAT!!!!! LOL Well hes 25 now and its funny as heck. Still has pain in that arm he broke when it gets cold or rains. LOL LOL
In the 70's, I never met a black person. Not until I moved to Florida in the mid-80s. But for one to never see a black person in a show isn't that unsurprising.
Just because a show doesn't put a certain race or gender in the lead roll doesn't make it inappropriate.
At #13 I realized that whoever wrote this never actually watched any of these shows. And so does #12.
Have they EVER seen "TV" at all, LOL!
This is what happens when all that you have on tv is "Reality/Police" dramas. Or people who ONLY stream series and nothing else.
#12 The A Team Glamorizes a group of soldiers that are fugitives from the law? doesn't he mean a group of soldiers that were wrongfully convicted?
Judging the past by today's standards leaves you open to the judgement of the future. And none of us fare well there.
The question is, will we be judged more harshly for eating meat, or for not building more nuclear power plants in order to stop climate change?
No ! We'll be judged as cunts. Simple as
@@xenialafleur Nuclear is no good there is no shafe way to dispose of the waste
Ant that the truth!
And that judgment will be top 25 UA-cam channels that were prickish, self righteous, and politically correct.

To add on to that, there is a confirmed reincarnation of the doctor that is black in the latest season
This comment is great, why is every other show on this list about race? More people like you need to speak up because this woke shit is creeping it's way into everything.
I luv this comment!
This comment should get ALL THE LIKES!
New who sucks due to a poor understanding of the character and horrible writing.
Thank u for seeing this as it is, sir. I would also like to point out that Dr. Who is British, and Great Britain doesn't have much of a mixed race population as the US. In fact, when (now former) Prince Harry married Meghan, she was constantly being berated for not being white, and that's why she didn't want to be royal anymore.
These aren't inappropriate, people have just become hyper sensitive about everything, its entertainment, its not suppose to be real.
HYPERSENSITIVE!! Yes, thank you
Completely Agree
Affirmative!
Problem is people that watch TV "Shows" can't differentiate from "reality" and "Fiction".
Exactly - you saved me a comment.
Mike is really taking this too seriously
You could tell after the first couple or three Mike knew he was in a suckfest.
Really? Dr Who NEVER CALLED ANYONE A NAME. Never approached anything with racism or ANY racist remarks. Treated and had women as EQUALS and this is picked as number 2? How about we talk! Top of my head fat Albert a cartoon pushed by a known racist and set in the ghetto to say all blacks live in a ghetto. Or many other TV shows that did at the time. how about tv that depicted women as dumb blonds. or that all white men talked and felt like archie? ya! He lost me as a viewer.
You do as many as the guys do, you're going to lay a few eggs. It happens.
Mike is soft
The title should be 25 shows that for their time were considered appropriate. But with presentism are not appropriate now.
I don't even see them as inappropriate now.
How did you pass up Married With Children? It's only one of the best and most wrong shows ever made lol
This! This absolutely!
Because Al Bundy is untouchable and immoral. By the way, does anyone know that in one game at Polk High, he scored four touchdowns in one game?
One of my favorite shows, no way it could be on the air now.
Lol Poke High
I love that show but the fact that it was VERY inappropriate even at the time and everyone knew it was why everyone watched it.
OMG 😂 people are so sensitive these days 🙄 just makes want to puke 🤮
No people just have a platform now to call out how bullshit things are. Ever occur that we aren't sensitive now, people were just ignorant or pure assholes back then with no consequences. Just cause you find something funny doesn't mean its acceptable.
You're just pissed it's finally being called boomer 😂

The Dukes were cousins raised by their uncle.
Remember Coy and Vance? Now THAT was bad!
Also it was not the Confederate flag on the roof, that flag has 2 red stripes, 1 white stripe, a blue square, and 7 white stars. The flag on the Duke Boys' car is the Stars & Bars flag which was a battle flag.
There was a Dora episode where she said,
"Where are we going?"
"In a black hole!"
Wow Dora, suicidal today aren't we?
Sounds like a porn video
I always thought when her and Diego stared at you was creepy... I got that they were "waiting for kids to answer the question"
Feels like most of them are just you guys cherry picking...
It's not an official list so the whole list is cherry picked😂😂😂
Feels like they're just saying words. Like "Mr. Rogers showed a make believe world."
Scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one 🥱
A very deep barrel.
Thank you I was looking for comments like these. This is bullshit.
agreed!!
Maybe they are preparing for a "Top 5 videos We Scraped the Bottom of the Barrel For"
🤷🏽🤔
What's weird though is there's a ton of shows out there that legit are super offensive now yet they weren't brought up yet others were brought up that didn't make any real sense? It's just strange because they're usually on point.
The Duke boys weren't brothers. They were cousins
LOL, Ya beat me to it!
Yes the duke boys were cousins, and boss Hogg with the county commissioner and not the mayor.
@Dan Erickson they were never meaning no harm.
Shows they DIDN’T actually watch the Dukes of Hazzard.
I watched many of the shows on that list. They were fantastic shows! Not inappropriate at all. In fact, even the ones I didn’t watch I don’t believe were inappropriate. I doubt they were in good taste, but I doubt they were inappropriate. I can think of several shows that were and are inappropriate and are not on this list. I was sadly surprised by that.
Either this list was an April Fools Day joke two weeks early, or your writer was deliberately fishing for troll remarks in the comments. Sure, some legit problems, but some were just ridiculous (as witnessed by Mike cracking up at the slo-mo complaint.)
I completely agree with you. You might like my comments.
You can “nit pick” all these shows yet no reference to today’s overly violent content and the insistence of ALL tv shows being completely politically correct!!🤬😡
COME ON!! Really?!?!
Today the Confederate flag is related to slavery. The Confederate flag originated as the REBEL flag and had no bind to slaves.
If you'd fully do your research you'd know this
Had bindings to rebel states that were rebelling for "states rights" (specifically, _slavery_ )
RUSTY BUCKET cultural Marxists love to twist things.
The Confederate flag still stood for rebellion against the USA. So these so called Patriots who support that flag are against the USA in all reality.
@@CalmKitten184 what on earth do you mean by "cultural marxist"
Number1Irishlad look it up :-)
Give me a break! Really? What about All in the Family? The Jefferson's? People get butt hurt over easily avoided shows. Change the channel! Only #7 seems in poor taste. Again, change the channel!
I was just about to post the same thing about "The Jeffersons" and "All in the Family", but I was also going to add "The Benny Bill Show" (a British comedy skit show whose main star was an old man chasing young, half-naked women, making lewd, inappropriate gestures, and even on occasion feeling them up), and several others I can think of that were worse than the ones on this list.

I loved "All in the Family." Reminds me of my Dad.
All in the family portrayed the racist as a backward oaf.

I could be absolutely incorrect but they did not write the script they were reading.
@@RosheenQuynh No doubt,It's always a script, But I Usually enjoy List 25, but this seemed thrown together and just...IDK...Kinda "off" from usual.
The fact they didn't bring up shows like All in the Family or Married with Children makes me think that this list wasn't really thought out that well by whoever did their research. Both those shows are considered pretty offensive today to the type of people who get "offended" by things and they weren't mentioned yet other shows that are considered way less offensive like Dragnet & Dr. Who were brought up doesn't make much sense. Some of the shows they brought up do make sense but others don't. Most of the stuff you brought up is all true and also a lot of the things they called "inappropriate" seem more "unrealistic" more than anything... I think whoever did the research for this one was either drunk at the wheel or they were somewhat trolling.
Family Ties was a stupid show but I liked Family Affair where the uncle had his nieces and nephew with a butler which I had always wanted (if I ever get rich) Like Bruce Wayne or I don't want to be like The Clampetts not to be a hayseed and not spend a lot of money 🤑💰 but the Addams Family was a weird but likeable or have a mother like Samantha but these are the classics
@@garycarpenter6433 I liked BOTH shows, So you are not alone!
I find the title of this list very inappropriate!
Dukes of Hazzard were cousins not brothers.
"Top 25 television shows with snowflake warning"
From Mike' reactions, I'm going to assume he wasn't the one who wrote this list
Mike didn't have the balls to stand up for himself.
@@jordandennis6794agreed
I love how Mike is laughing at these, showing how ridiculous these "complaints" about the shows really are.
It doesn't excuse him. This list should not have been made.
The sexual innuendos from Rugrats and Rocko's Modern Life
Actually there’s way more swearing on tv now and sexual scenes.
OMG! A show about a bar, and the characters are drinking??!!
OK... This comment just made me spit out my wine. LMFAO. Good one 5055!!!!!!
So 25 shows you went back and watched with your SJW goggles on and found something to be offended about.
Lmao, trigger warning ^
yes!
@drew pedersen I will because grizzlies love hugs. You go hug a cactus.
@drew pedersen I don't know what "U-tube" is but I posted my video of me hugging a grizzly on UA-cam but the title is in runes so have fun finding it, your turn to hug that cactus and make sure you wear thin clothes and get a running start, I'll be standing by with the iodine.
Actually, in the 3 or 4 spots on this list I managed to tolerate, they didn't find anything wrong with those shows, they just said words.
Somebody tell the writer that there's a significant difference between "inappropriate" and "unrealistic". There seems to be some confusion about that. Also, there really are many small American towns with no minority population.
The first Yellow Ranger was played by a Latina and the actor for Zach didn't care what color his costume was
Enterprize 1701 Only in the original pilot. In the MMPR series Trini was played by the late Thuy Trang and Asian-American actress. In the Sentai on which it’s based the Yellow Ranger’s counterpart is male that’s why there is no skirt on the costume. Also MMPR’s White Ranger is A Native American character as revealed in Season 3’s Zeo quest and continued in Power Rangers Zeo.
Actually she was from South Vietnam. She was 16 at the time but died in a car accident at 28. Her name was (hope I spell this right) Tui Trang.
Raymond Gerlach In the series proper you ar correct. Though I believe Thuy Trang. In the Original Pilot which can be viewed as a special feature on season of the Shout factory set, A Latin did play the part. She was dropped and Thuy replaced her.
I think the writers definition of inappropriate and most everybody else's definition of inappropriate are very different
Agreed, a vast majority of these were an absolute stretch.
I think you're stretching "inappropriate" a bit. Dora the Explorer is in no way shape or form inappropriate.
Not inappropriate, but one song, mentioned in my post above, has my husband and me scratching our heads!!
Just annoying as hell.
I agree.
Wait....wait......wait.....Grizzly Adams has a FEMALE bear and THAT'S where you point out it's inappropriate? COME ON!!
This list is ridiculous. The virtue signalling and SJW alarms are blaring. This list seems to be written by a person who would complain about being given $500 for no reason because it was 5 $100 bills and those are to hard to spend and can't you do it in $20's wahwahwah.
Dr Who had a black Doctor in the latest series. However the female Doctor played by Jodie Whittakier has not really worked. Ratings have fallen drastically.
Ian OTimelord they had several black companions but not a black doctor. I am loving Jodie.
But I think with Dr Who, the reasoning given by the doctor is that it is harder for the doctor to get help, help others and do things in society when they appear as a gender or ethnicity or colour that is less socially advantaged during world history.
There are VERY few times through the history of planet earth that white men have been any kind of undesirable/attacked group. It does happen, but it is rare. So in order to be the most use to an Ignorant species like us... it makes sense to camouflage as the most popular model.
Terry Maximum-Effort. Yes they did. The Ruth Doctor is an actual pre hartnel doctor.
John Montgomery must have missed that, not been following recent series. Sorry!
Making characters female doesn't make things as good, especially for no particular reason except PC pressure. For example Oceans 8 and Ghostbusters...
KT Pinto I LOVED the female version of ghost busters. It was hilarious and the cast was great. Just because you didn’t like it doesn’t mean it was bad :)
Y'all need to learn the difference between the actual confederate flag and a battle flag used to differentiate between troops ie north and south. Nothing more. Not a symbol of slavery since black troops proudly flew into battle
Not to mention the war was about states' rights until the North started losing and to rally support and troops Lincoln made it about Emancipation rather than rights. When he did that then he got more support, troops, and such. That did not happen until 4 years or so into the war.
If you look into the Confederate flag it's not used for slavery do research on it
this one sucked!
Amen to that
Beavis and Butt-Head and that show Dinosaurs that was on TGIF back in the day
Dr. Who did have an episode where there were two doctors a black woman and a white woman. It had the lowest ratings the show saw in 50 years
Oh Mike, did you even read the script? Way too ancient British TV shows not seen in the US. Your performances was pitiful. You could do better with your choice of material , much better. And practice before embarking your self so badly.
@@philkipnis740 Actually, I have seen MOST of the British shows shown (I'm American,BTW), But yeah, This episode was just kinda "odd".
Strange. The BBC doesn't poll like the US since they are paid transmitters. Dr Who has run for what, 6 decades? Interestingly, the latest Dr. is a woman.
No matter, I disagree with your choices. There are many other shows to choose from.
I have never seen such a blatantly judgmental epitome of political correctness. I have not seen such an absurdly filled egocentric subjective and personal prejudice presentation in my 72 years of existence on this planetary sphere. Tell the writer of this abject drivel to get a life...one which does not involve writing scripts masquerading as objective discourse. Cheers; however, to the narrator and film crew who could not even keep a straight face while presenting this trash.
I literaly have no idea wtf you're talking about with any of these shows. I've never seen them, never even heard of them, and wonder if anyone who would be offended by them is even still alive.
I'm very alive and have heard of, although maybe not watched, all of the American ones (I live in the US) and several of the British ones.
@drew pedersen born in 1979. Given up trying to figure out all the classifications. My daughter loved Dora and she is 14.
No mention of the Honeymooner's? After all, what's funnier than the constant threat of domestic violence?
Happy days? Really? Did you ever research what the racial demographics of Milwaukee in the 1950s were? Here, I'll help: predominantly white and middle class.
Crazy how research and historical knowledge could help with not being triggered.
For Doctor Who, how is having the protagonist being a white male "inappropriate"? YOUR opinion sound pretty sexist and racist to me.
I agree. The fact that the Doctor was always a white male was not in any way inappropriate. When Mike mentioned _Doctor Who_ I thought they were going down the racism line, which _was_ inappropriate. Black characters tended to be shown as mentally deficient, neanderthal-like or even mute, such as in _The Evil of the Daleks_ or _The Tomb of the Cybermen._ Things were even worse with the horrendous yellow face in _The Talons of Weng Chiang._
I find it strange that they decided to focus on the white male thing rather than those other glaring issues.
Wow most of this was the snowflake offensive list 12,13, 10, Dora?
Yeah, Brian I've so far laughed at the silly tings that offend others. I think I'll be offended by snowflakes. I just want to belong and I never got a participation trophy, because we didn't have them thank God.
Mr Mike ditto brother
Inappropriate for the time when these shows aired on, no. Looking back at them now they seem inappropriate based on today's standards. As Bill Maher said "and finally new rule enough with
revisiting things stop being surprised every time you watch an old movie or TV show and find some of the ideas in it are old" as well form the Simpsons Lisa said "something that started decades ago and
was applauded and inoffensive is now politically incorrect what can you do".
You got it all completely wrong. They were not considered inappropriate at the time, and even now, nothing he said makes them inappropriate in retrospect.
If you want to get into "reality" television there's WWE, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, The Bachelor. All of which could be considered "inappropriate".
Oh yeah those dating shows are kind of inappropriate these days. I was actually thinking, though, that SpongeBob SquarePants (if you have not heard of it, look it up and watch it for all the innuendos… There are many many many), South Park, Beavis and Butthead, stuff like that, The Simpsons… (for kids mostly - because very questionable role models) should’ve made the list instead of all the shows he put on the list. The shows he just put on the list are ludicrous. Maybe some of them were in bad taste, but I wouldn’t say they were inappropriate.
21 was definitely a stretch. The female doctor isn't even that good, the writers are in part to blame.
The joking around is getting too out of hand.
The Jeffersons used the "N" word twice in the first episode. Inappropriate? Maaaaaybe.
The thing about Happy Days: it was set in the 50's so segregation was to be expected. They did do an episode where Fonzi found a black drummer for their band which highlighted the racism of the day.
The Dukes of Hazzard actually did not defy the laws of physics. It was not special effects when the car was swerving around corners or flying over things, it was really really experienced stunt drivers. So the stunts weren't actually impossible, just incredibly difficult. From what I was told, it was all real (or at least the majority of it). There actually wasn't really a good way to fake it at the time, so it had to be real stunt driving. (Sorry if I sound rude at all. I don't mean to. Just pointing out what I was told)
DR WHO REALLY! I know you do NOT know Dr Who. In the fourth doctor who series the doctor traveled with a a female companion who was his equival as a time lord! As for your comment about it was not until the last doctor wrong! A spinoff of Dr Who with a woman would have been much better received by fans. And I think this subject you should have left out of your channel. I have a feeling your comments on DR WHO will cost you more then one subscriber. I also can think of many other TV shows that actually should have been in the list that you either did not or would not touch.
My favorite part about watching list25 videos is whenever Mike loses his composure, and laughs, sometimes hysterically.
I always lose my composure and laugh along with him, lol.
Also, I can clearly tell you're losing weight, Mike. Good job! I remember in one of your videos, I think it had to do with body shaming/bullying (I can't quite remember), you mentioned that you were working on losing weight, and I thought you should know that your hard work is paying off.
You have to remember that a lot of these shows were made in different times. Also perhaps you should start editing out all the laughing and that. Because it’s really starting to get OLD.
I agree. I have a sinking feeling they think the laughter is adorable.
My son loved Dora The Explorer so much that he once took my car key and hid it. He then said we had to follow the Map to find it. His father and I followed the Map, but the key was not where the Map said it was. By that time, our son forgot where he had actually hidden the key. Fortunately, we had a spare key to the car. A few years later, we found the key in the bottom of an unused drawer :) Fun times!!
THANK YOU for your comments on “Murder She Wrote”. I have always wondered why, after a few episodes, people didn’t run away screaming for fear of their lives when they see sweet Jessica headed their way. Where Jessica goes, death follows.
I loved murder she wrote too
Lmao
1.) How do you get 14,000 plus deaths per year, when there were at most 26 episodes per season... and there were nowhere near 3000 deaths per season.
2.) Yes, you would eventually wonder why anyone would stay in Cabot Cove.
Some of these shows are ok but are considered inappropriate now because we have become a society where people find it wrong to have kids go out in the yard to Plat and kids get away with throwing fits for not having their electronics 24/7
This one is too woke for me.
Video is complete trash
" we started this list hating racism", ALL IN THE FAMILY?
The reason no one noticed that Midsomer Murders was so monochromatic is that the premise of each episode was usually so over the top bizzare you spent the entire time trying to figure out what was going on, one episode involved murdering people over a pudding club, another had children tracking down dogs trying to match one to a murderer. The series is so rediculous it's hypnotic.
Grizzly Adams, that was based on a true person/mountain man and a true bear that he raised from a cub.
Watching Mike break down laughing was the best part. Lol
This list just shows how thin-skinned and petty people have become. It's really sad how nothing is allowed to be fun anymore.
Cheers? Really?w.t.f. love their perfect imperfections!
As a black woman I loved the Dukes of Hazard. Still enjoy it even with the racial overturns.
OK, who made this list? Some I can see, but why does everything have to perfectly mimic real life?
Because apparently they think we're too stupid to appreciate that Murder She Wrote and CSI aren't how life works.
Someone who doesn't know the difference between inappropriate and inaccurate.
This list shouldn't be called "Inappropriate"... It should be named, "25 Classic TV Shows Our Writers Didn't Like for Some Reason, So We'll Pick Them Apart".
0:06 "Frightening" ...Tasteless maybe, but not something that makes people afraid or anxious.
Dukes of Hazards. I know they destroyed so many cars during all of the 7 seasons but that was entertainment.
Two things:
1. About half of the shows mentioned came from the other side of the pond.
2. Most of the shows you mentioned aren't so much as controversial as they unrealistic.
One other factoid you left out from the Grizzly Adams series is that he also was friendly with a raccoon too. Raccoons are known for carrying rabies & can do some serious damage. That's one the shows that falls in the unrealistic, but not controversial category. The same for Dragnet, The A-Team, & Dora the Explorer.
Mike's laughter made this worth watching
No, it didn't.
mike: *go's on rant on irresponsible kids*.
tristan: "the movie was great."
Wait...the Power Rangers theme had lyrics other than “go, go, power rangers”?!
To be fair with Baywatch, they needed more stories other than beach rescues... however if you watch Bondi rescue - you will see that both male and female lifeguards do wear skintight swimming gear because it allows them to cut through water faster... also the amount of stuff you have to do to be a bondi lifeguard is nuts - those guys can do triathalons with no issue.
A little constructive criticism:
It really isn't reasonable to judge if a show from the distant past was appropriate or not through today's. mores. I agree a show like Heil Honey I'm Home should never have seen the light of day, or a minstrel show. But The Dukes of Hazzard? Even now it is pretty harmless fun, if the biggest complaint is a Confederate flag that's pretty sketchy. But in the 80s no one thought twice about it. Even now, I don't think people see it as a big deal. These guys were just about having fun.
There were others where the reasoning was flimsy. Dr. Who? Dragnet? Happy Days? Come on I KNOW y'all are better than this.
Where you missed big time were shows that were inappropriate when they aired Perfect example: The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer. That show was reviled when it aired and is still notorious. Homeboys In Outer Space was really poor taste too. Who Wants To Marry A Multi Millionaire. Easily you could have found 25 shows inappropriate when they aired. And that is why I'm disappointed.
All that said I'm still glad you did this. And it does seem like others liked it. But a lot didn't. This was not one of your better lists but I'm still a fan of the channel. Keep at it. PS The Donald impersonation slays me every single time.
I'm a little late to this list but watching my dad's expressions while you were correlating his childhood favorites was as hilarious as your midsummer murders fit. Great video guys
People looking at any and everything to get offended by have serious issues.
25 things that prove we can't come up with 25 things for a new 25 things list. Would be a better title.
Most of these shows are not inappropriate. They just don't portray real life. Anyone who believes that entertainment needs to be realistic needs to be in the real world more. Shows are to escape from reality.
Almost bailed on this one halfway through: so glad I didn't. Thanks for the laughs.
I DID bail.
I bailed..
I may bail.
Yeah I'm out at #11
Jon Anderson That’s the exact same number I stopped at..
This is the most ridiculous list ever. You can find something "inappropriate" in any show if you really try. Why's "Benny Hill" not on here? 🤷🏻👎🏻
To be fair, Jessica Fletcher travelled a good bit, so most of the murders did _not_ happen in Cabot Cove.
Still keeping an eye on Mrs Fletcher tho...
I'm so confused why my definition of "inappropriate" is so different from this videos. Using the word "inappropriate" in the title kinda cracks me up b/c it seems pretty inappropriate😏
Your reaching on this one...
The White Ranger was Native American. And technically in the original Sentai all the Rangers are Asian where the footage actually comes from
I can't believe "All in the Family" "Threes Company" and "Bosom Buddies " didn't appear on this list!
As well as Bugs Bunny, The Roadrunner, Gilligan's Island to name a few more. Too p.c. a list.
I'll give you Three's Company and Bosom Buddies as they were all "Hey let's make fun of gay people and transvestites!" But All in the Family was mocking bigotry, not glorifying it. It wasn't inappropriate. Archie was constantly called out for his behavior.
Those were great shows! I loved those shows. All In The Family was a different type of comedy in the late 70s to bring social issues to the forefront. That was its purpose. Three’s Company and Bosom Buddies were completely appropriate for the time they were produced. And very funny. A couple of really great actors got their start in Three’s Company. Tom hanks got his start in Bosom Buddies.
@@rowynnecrowley1689 Remember when these shows were aired originally. It didn’t occur to them that they were making fun of anyone. I thought they were funny, and it didn’t occur to me that they were making fun of anyone, it also didn’t occur to me that transvestites had anything to do with anything. I just thought the guys were dressing up as women to get into the woman’s hotel. That was the point. I had never heard of a transvestite.
Gotta be honest. The only thing cringeworthy is this list itself. I'm NOT a conservative, but did the writer just look for reasons to find old shows 'inappropriate'?
Did ANYONE stop watching Cheers because the characters had poor diets? Ugh.... 🤦♀️
Social norms change. Can't wait for this list writer's fave shows to be lambasted in 20 years for being inappropriate. And yes, they will be.
Lmao, remember Eurekas 🏰? On Nickelodeon 😂
You do know the blue ranger Billy was a gay guy who was literally ostracized and abused for it, right? Sad stuff. Blue is right, Billy... finding that out broke my heart..
Two of the shows I grew up on were All in the Family and its spinoff The Jefferson's. I'm surprised you didn't include them as, at the time, there was all kind of controversy over them. As for All in the Family, I remember an outtake after Sammy Davis Jr kissed Archie on the cheek when a picture was being snapped and the outtake right after that when Archie gave a full lip lock to Sammy.
Reread the title of this video, and then reread your comment, and tell me where you went wrong.
You're right, this list is pretty far stretched and reaches pretty far and wide to hit the inappropriate factor for many of the shows listed. Give me a break... There's so many more inappropriate shows I can think of...
The Confederate Flag is the Southern Flag not the slave flag. And leave Midsomer Murders out of this. Lol Go Trump 2020!!!
MAGA 2020
Which is why abortions are bad. In America we honor our mistakes.
The southern flag isnt about race ot was about the States rights over the federal government....
Eating poorly... Seriously?
I love how the problem with some of these TV shows is they're too good at their job. Thank you for doing the one about The Apprentice in your Trump impersonation.
You’ve left out several, most notably The Lone Ranger series.
Yes I agree in The Lone Ranger it was the 50's how dare they cast a Native American as Tonto it should have been a White Man in red face.
And my ex was always going off about Dora teaching his daughter that bribing snakes 🐍 with 🍪 🍪 was a good idea..😮😂❤
I must add Blues Clues to this this list, I cant tell you the countless times I would hear my Son say from another room, BLUE SCADOO WE CAN TOO, and an enormous THUD well that is until he learned to stand on his chest of drawers and land on his bed! LOL LOL not to mention he had a pitched low ceiling in his room so he knocked himself out more than once, oh yeah and the broken arm from MISSING THE BED! WHAT!!!!! LOL Well hes 25 now and its funny as heck. Still has pain in that arm he broke when it gets cold or rains. LOL LOL
I think that Steve had to have been on drugs how else do you explain all the talking items in the house?
@@tiffanymims8691 BAAAAHAAAA true that!
In the 70's, I never met a black person. Not until I moved to Florida in the mid-80s. But for one to never see a black person in a show isn't that unsurprising.
