It's a shame your wife doesn't understand how those programs were made in a different time and has to take offence at what kind of things were comedy at the time.

Some programs are rubbish, but some you can laugh at the kind of things they used to use at humour and how people wouldn't allow it these days.

But I do think it's sad how she can't enjoy these kinds of things. I've seen programs making what people would consider very inappropriate comments about things that apply to me personally, but I honestly couldn't care what some script writers view was 30+ years ago on people like me 🤷‍♂️. I just can't understand how that could possibly offend me when i wasn't even alive for it to be directed at me personally.
