[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 120165"] Well to be fair I think [B][I]Saved By the Bell[/I][/B] and [B][I]Full House[/I][/B] were aimed more at a younger audience so I am not surprised those shows appealed to me when I was like 12-15 years old. True about the political correctness. The 1980s seems to have been a time when TV was becoming more aware of the impact it had on society. Probably due to the reception studies that had come out in the late 1970s and early 1980s where scholars were researching how TV violence and sex affected younger viewers perception and behaviour. Interesting how you don't get US humour [USER=21]@Barbara Fan[/USER] so does that mean that Dallas wasn't funny to you either then? Because to me the dialogue on Dallas was hilarious at times. Anyway I do seem to have a harder time to get British humour than American humour as shows like [I][B]Mr Bean[/B][/I] has just never appealed to me. Also [USER=7]@ClassyCo[/USER] I can recommend you to give [B][I]Growing Pains [/I][/B]a try since I do think it was one of the best if not the best sit com to come out of the decade! [/QUOTE]
