One day in the Here After, I shall sit me down and explore just why I never missed an episode of All in the Family, and laughed my fool head off.
But it is enough for now to say, I did find it funny. And yet, I seldom watched The Jefferson's, or Maude. But Mash became a must for me, as was The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
Very likely I would no longer see the same humor in All in the Family. I return to some of the old radio comedies and I am amazed at how much humor has changed, and how silly some of the programs are in today's world.
The other day my eldest daughter, whom I raised better than that, sent me a link to a video she had made of her eldest son(my very own flesh and blood) doing a standup routine in a nightclub. My, my, my. How humor has changed. Move over Howard Stern, here comes Matt Black. He had more to say about his private parts than I knew about my own. And there sat my 48 year old daughter, splitting her sides laughing at stuff my mother would have spent a week washing out of Matt's mouth.
What a difference a generation makes! Gee, that could make a cool song.
