The Wikipedia article on Talking Pictures Television cites AFAW as an example of an older program containing old-style racial epithets that the carrier should warn modern viewers about (“hey, they didn’t know better back then!”). I believe this topic was covered in an earlier posting, but I don’t recall. What term was used by whom in what episode? Was it one of the “war” episodes (soldiers under severe stress could be forgiven!), or in one of Sefton’s tirades? For all the intensity of many AFAW scenes, the language seems to my ears to pass muster in any scene. By the way, Burke’s Law is hardly to be mentioned alongside AFAW. Now THAT’S dated!
