Seinfeld and Friends were a blot on the 90s. Neither had any racial diversity to speak of even though they were both supposed to occur in diverse NYC.
I've lived in Manhattan, and Seinfield's neighborhood was spot on for its racial diversity. It's not as if anyone of them had any reason to be hanging around Harlem or other ethnic areas.
A show about nothing. Literally. Just as Seinfeld described.
If you need TV shows to teach you something or represent a certain this or that, there are plenty out there for all types. If you are offended just don't watch it FFS. I think some of the shows are ridiculous so I don't watch them. Pretty simple.
Random thought, I confess. I admit, also, that this random thought is only very loosely in the ballpark of this thread. So forgive me on the basis of age; mine, which is surely showing.
Anybody remember the Legion of Decency? Growing up it was published in our Sunday bulletin at church. We, who were Catholic teens, at that time, were ruled by the ratings put out by this organization. Censorship and condemnation at its finest. Oh the movies I was not permitted to see....I believe under the pain of sin as well as parental punishment.

Hmmm, the religious right were the ones complaining about what can and can't be on TV for most of TV's history. Remember how 2 actors couldn't be shown in the same bed even acting the role of a married couple because it was too taboo. And I don't mean sexual scenes. On the Dick Van Dyke show, Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore have 2 separate beds in their bedroom. This went on for years as Christians made TV rules and they cheered. They are now mad that they don't get to make all the noise about how the TV is bothering them and people triggered by other things are more noisy now.
There was only one bed in the master bedroom on the TV shows Bewitched and The Munsters (both of which premiered in 1964).
Millennials think everything on TV and in the movies is real life. Sad.
