Yes, the problem with all new material is it is not offensive enough. You got it.

No, the problem is that they - as in , three camera sitcoms - are not willing to explore boundaries. Good comedy explores boundaries and that space where the brain goes “oh no they did not just say that” is often where the best stuff is.
IF they manage to pull it off correctly. If they don’t, all the actors get booed and their show gets cancelled, so of course they’re going to go for bland over edgy.
Comedy has to be offensive as it usually is a result of tragedy and time. Modern sitcoms are too family friendly but that’s a result of catering to everyone and no one at the same time which is an issue with most mass media today (and maybe always).
Music and television - and society’s colour choices in general - have become very bland and unexciting.
its all been whitewashed, because conservatives have been claiming things are woke. and all the executives, think they are offended for the minorities.
No,.it’s not all new material. Bit it’s a lot of inoffensive slop. Most places have declared the sitcom dead for that reason.
Every comedian ever when they realize trans panic jokes were never funny:

The only way friends made me uncomfortable was with all the cringing
Friends was hugely popular with my generation, and still is. But my son, who is basically their age in the show, and lives in NYC, finds it bland and dull. His first issue is the group itself. “Show me one NYC friend group that doesn’t have any minorities or gays.”
It’s a great point, but I still love them, and laugh at it.
Watch The Comeback to understand what ‘uncomfortable’ can mean. Brilliant TV.
Isn’t she in that?
She writes it and is in it
They’re pussies Lisa… p.u.s.s.i.e.s.
Mean old orange faced kiddie rapist might yell at them and kick them off the air.
The thing is: yes, please be offensive… while kicking upwards. How hard can that be?
All bigots are worse people than any queer people, so they’re always punching up. \s
How can anyone say this in a world where IASIP exists?
can’t say sitcoms are a big draw for me. last I got excited over was the good place.
Maybe she should get spat on and called a cunt since her only interpretation of comedy is something that shocks people. She’d find it hilarious according to her logic.
