Name a single show from the boomer generation where the husband is abusive and demeaning and they don’t reconcile at the end.

Everybody Loves Raymond. Frank, the dad, was an asshole to his wife with only 2 episodes where he reconciles with Mary. Thanks for setting me up for a great point. I'm sure you didn't plan that.

Even I Love Lucy was filled with disdain and disrespect for the wives on a consistent basis lol. Great example

No it most certainly was not. It was full of absurd amounts of love and adoration from the husband to Lucy. Both the couples in the show loved each other. Lucy's husband would get pissed are her shenanigans but there was no underlying hatred like in Boomer Humor where everything is about either being cheated on, your wife never having sex with you, etc. The affection Ricki had for Lucy heavily implied quite the sex life - controversy my grandmother pointed out because it was pushing it at time with the affection and implied sexual relationship.

Not boomer shows. The boomers didn't start making these shows until the late 80s and 90s. The transition period to "hating your wife" was the 70s and 80s. When the torch was handed off from the Greatest Generation to the Baby Boomers, we got more caustic hatred of the wife.

Pretty funny that you listed a bunch of shows made by NOT boomers and proved my point. :D

Good ol' Sherwood Schwartz.

Dude you are not smart.

Boomers were born in the 40s. Boomers means baby boomers. As in all the kids that were born when soldiers came back from wwii. The 70s and 80s is when boomers would have been making television. All of the shows I listed are from the 70s and 80s, meanwhile everybody loves Raymond was made in the late 90s/early 2000s, not even close. The creator is Philip rosenthal, born in 1960, and the principal writer was ray romano, born in 1957. Not boomers. And even if it did qualify, congrats, you’d be justifying blaming an entire generation of people for the failed marriages of millennials based on one supporting character from one tv show.

And certainly Fred was as disrespectful of Ethel as Frank was of Marie. You’re lying to yourself

Just you wait. This is the best reply you've made to me that proves you wrong and you don't realize it, yet. Very glad you decided to personally attack me instead of arguing against the points - sets this next reply up so I can knock it out of the park.

The 70s and 80s is when boomers would have been making television.

Nope! You're wrong. You are not good at arithmatic, it would appear.

They started creating and producing shows in the 80s and 90s:

Ron Leavitt Michael G. Moye

Made Married with Children - Both Boomers. Made among the most toxic marriage depictions in all of "sitcom comedy." Al is a complete piece of shit.

Everybody Loves Raymond (mentioned this already): Philip Rosenthal, a Boomer. And loaded with toxic boomer humor.

Friends - Ross is a shitty person, married 3 times, and is a deadbeat dad. David Crane and Marta Fran Kauffman: both Boomers.

Family Guy - Peter Griffin is a piece of shit. That's the point of the show and why it is sarcastically called "Family Guy." Not sure if this one gets a pass.

Joey Gutierrez is another producer-writer Boomer who produces a shitload of terrible, toxic, marriage content. Wrote some of the shittiest episodes for still Standing where the husband, a piece of shit lazy asshole, whines and treats his wife poorly. Look for the episodes where Bill is a piece of shit asshole - Joey likely wrote that episode.

And this should be obvious: the boomers would be too young to "make it big" to produce and create popular shows in the 70s. They'd have to be older. It's why we didn't start to get the boomer producer's and writers to really pop-up in their toxic-marriage shows until the 80s and 90s.

You're welcome. Now that you're caught up on what Boomer Humor is, you can go forth and spread the knowledge about why Boomers taught their millennial children some really stupid shit about relationships. Try to undo the damage the boomers did to their kids. Refuse to look down on your wife or treat her as the "bitch who ruins my life."

Edit: I’m moving this to the top because I’m worried you might not read long enough to get there and this sums up entirely what we’re arguing about:

Also thanks for proving my point that IT WOULD LITERALLY BE THE FAULT OF ANYONE who watched Al Bundy and thought that that’s how they should model their lives. That would not be Al Bundy’s fault, that would be THEIR fault, and they’d have to be completely retarded to blame their lives on exaggerated humor

Lmao. Let’s do this, moron.

As I already explained and you somehow overlooked, the term baby boomers refers to the explosion in births that occurred just after wwii as the soldiers were returning home and plowing every chance they could get. wwii ended in 1945. Boomers were born in the 1940s. Most boomers were approaching adulthood by the time most of these people were born:

Michael Moye: 1963 Philip Rosenthal: 1960 David Crane: 1957 Marta Kauffman: 1956 Joey Gutierrez: 1963 Seth MacFarlane: 1973

You got me again, blaming an entire generation on one person, Ron Leavitt, 1947

And this should be obvious: the boomers would be too young to "make it big" to produce and create popular shows in the 70s. They'd have to be older

Philip Rosenthal was in his early 30s when everybody loves Raymond started. All boomers were in their 30s at some point during the 70s. No, the majority of TV shows aren’t created by 60-70 year old dudes.

Thanks for being so smug and making it so satisfying to show you that you’re retarded.

Also thanks for proving my point that IT WOULD LITERALLY BE THE FAULT OF ANYONE who watched Al Bundy and thought that that’s how they should model their lives. That would not be Al Bundy’s fault, that would be THEIR fault, and they’d have to be completely retarded to blame their lives on exaggerated humor
