Everybody else who is old enough to get this joke is from Europe, and hopefully were not watching American TV in the late 70s/early 80s.
Against_The_Grain would get it, but he is not on all that often. |

What are they teaching kids in school, anyway? This is Mel's Diner we're talking about, for God's sake, a cornerstone of American popular culture! No wonder China and Japan have the competitive edge on us these days.

I watched it with my parents.
I also watched Kung Fu with them. In retrospect, Kung Fu was much cooler. |

Funny story... (maybe). For a while in college, I dated a very nice woman who just so happened to be black. We were pretty "serious," actually, so I invited her to my parents' house for dinner one night over winter break. My dad turned on The Jeffersons', and to my great embarrassment, and I'm sure to my friend's, we sat through this stupid show while my dad laughed at the pathetic stereotype humor. God, I was uncomfortable. I've never forgiven him for that.

Well, it wasn't reality. I always thought it was racist because the characters were "types," they certainly were not noble or sophisticated, and the show "dumbed down" race problems, gave it a comic gloss that ignored the terrible state things were really in at that time. |
