he was but that was the point. my parents would talk about why he was a pig so we understood. Over the years the character evolved as well.

Like many offensive humourists from the past, it shined a light. Norman Lear was known for those type shows. Pushing the limits.

Rape, racism, all of it on that show. All taboo subjects of the day.

You ever see Blazing Saddles?
