Old TV shows that wouldn't last today?

[Katrina]

What are some TV shows in the past that wouldn't last today...or wouldn't be allowed on the air?

All in the Family is one show that comes to mind.

One show that immediately comes to mind is a UK variety show that ran for around 20 years starting in the late 50's. As a young child in the mid 60's it used to give me the creeps, its only virtue being to put me off sitting in front of a TV for the rest of my life.

The show was called 'The Black and White Minstrel Show'

Little Britain as well as Come Fly With Me wouldn't last long if they premiered today. In fact when I first tried watching Little Britain, it got delisted off of streaming services. Come Fly With Me is still available to watch though.

Star Trek: The Original Series

Some of the episodes are just downright outrageous and not sure how they were approved for even then….

This was the first one that popped into my mind when I saw this thread. I remember watching it when I was younger, and I know if it was something that was just coming out for the first time today, it would not go over too well.
