I watched Karate Kid III today and it had 3 more racial slurs than I heard ever on the Dukes of Hazzard.

Was it on TV Land?

 

Yes and no. Remember TV Land pulled The Cosby show last fall when the allegations against Bill Cosby began piling up. So if your point is that TV Land somehow treated the Cosby Show differently than Dukes, well, that would simply be incorrect. Both shows were pulled due to social/political controversies. I do think some other smaller channels may have since picked up The Cosby Show, but I wouldn't be surprised if The Dukes get picked up somewhere down the road when things die down a little.

I expect CMT to pick it back up.

Also don't forget Cosby lost a ton due these allegations. Tour dates got cancelled and a series that was in development with NBC got shelved. He also had a deal with Netflix to air a comedy special, which also got vaporized. All on allegations, as nothing has yet to be proven in the court of law. So folks posting this meme need to stop. The meme implies that a black entertainer got treated with kid gloves after a serious sex scandal because he was a minority, and that a "white" show got hammered for just having a flag on the car. Cosby got crushed, and likely has had his future earnings cut significantly. He got no special treatment.

Somebody will. DVD sales will pick up in the meantime. The Dukes got screwed here, but they'll be back and ok.

I bet the sequel to the recent remake movie is getting a script as we speak.

Think so? I think it cheapens it to take it off. Well, nothing surprises me anymore. I can see it staying on or being taken off. :lol2:

Hollywood is quick to jump on that kind of bandwagon. Either way, as long as Daisy is really hot, I'm still probably going to watch it.

I could care less about TVLand.

 

Cosby remained on the air somewhere while the Dukes of Hazzard did not.

Stop with the meme?

 

Please!

 

Cosby show continued while the Dukes of Hazzard show was taken off the air due to a flag on the car.

 

Cry me a river, libs!

I could care less about TVLand.

 

Cosby remained on the air somewhere while the Dukes of Hazzard did not.

 

And you want to pull the Cosby Show on allegations?? Not substantiated cases but allegations.

 

I will pray for you.

Thanks for the prayer, albeit in jest.

 

Again, I could care less what they do with the shows.

 

Just stating facts. Cosby stayed on the air while the Dukes of Hazzard was pulled through no fault of their own.
