This show is kind of anti PC, and that's good. Felt like a good sitcom.


I only noticed one hint of PC liberal bs. When the dad caved on letting his daughter dress as a male Halloween character. It felt like a flash back to that garbage Everybody Loves Raymond episode when the boys dressed a fairies ffs.

About half of the jokes were about how un-PC the '70s were, with a lot of "pulling the rug" gags where you're lead to think a character is about to complain about it before being oblivious to it. That isn't anti-PC humour at all. It's fairly pro-PC if anything.

I wouldnt call your example there exactly PC. To me, there's a difference between a dad that comes around to understanding and accepting something "controversial" about their kid's personality or outlook on life or whatever and toxic political correctness. What is PC, is when it's entirely expected by society that you should not only accept that controversial something, but you should be happy about it and even encourage and endorse it. And if you dont do those things then you're vile human being and you probably voted for Trump.

What is PC about his daughter going as a male Halloween character? I actually want to know.

A long time ago boys strictly wore boys clothes and girls wore girl clothes.

If you even dressed up on haloween, you would have gotten your ass kicked or made fun of.

Pendulum swings, in a politically correct show they would have the girl constantly dress as a boy.
