Pop Culture Today
Has society changed as a result of the the ever changing Pop Culture, or has Pop Culture changed to keep up with modern society? That is the question on my mind as I sit here watching 2 Broke Girls, which is today's version of Laverne and Shirley, a television sitcom that I watched as a young child thirty-five years ago. Both shows, aired on CBS, boast similarities; two young, broke, single, polar opposite girls with dreams and ambitions, who work together, share an apartment, and become each other's support system and BFF's.
Although both sitcoms share the same comical platform, there is much to be said about the difference in verbiage used. Lavern and Shirley was tactful, wholesome comedy that could be viewed by all audiences, whereas, 2 Broke Girls have scripts riddled with raunchy, vulgar and sexual overtones, and should, in my opinion, be for mature audiences only.
Both Lavern and Shirley and 2 Broke Girls were huge comical successes, each airing for many seasons, so what caused the moral changes that occurred over these last three decades, and why is it acceptable today?

I hate to be a buzz kill but I have never heard of Lavern and Shirley...I'm sorry! Lol but I have seen the show 2 broke girls and I must agree it should only be for adult audience only.
ReplyDeleteI love Laverne and Shirley! I've tried watching Two Broke Girls but could never get into it. The answer to your question has so many layers. At the end of the day we can vote with our dollars or just turn it off and walk away. I wish they would put Laverne and Shirley on Netflix, it's worth the watch.
