All in the family, is it funny today?

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.
