8. Married With Children
The main character of Married with Children, Al Bundy, is essentially a younger Archie Bunker, minus a few character aspects. The show made jokes about just about everyone and all groups that could have been (and probably were) offended.
Ultimately, the sexual humor was poorly formed and generally very blunt. There were plenty who complained about this back in the late 80s and 90s, and plenty who would whine about it today. In one episode, Al and Peg try to “let off some steam” in a sleazy motel and end up finding an adult film featuring two of their neighbors. The humor writes itself! This would have sent plenty of viewers, particularly those scared of sex, recoiling in horror.
