In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

A non-woke comedy classic, played for laughs rather than lectures, with little trace of modern ideological messaging. The show’s playful jabs at social conventions reflect humor over activism.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Tracey Ullman Show mostly values comedic variety and character-driven sketches, with casting and scenarios based on humor rather than identity politics. There's no obvious forced representation or prioritization of diversity at the expense of narrative integrity, as was common in the 1980s.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show pokes fun at various social roles and institutions, but does so in a playful, irreverent manner typical of the era rather than with any modern ideological edge. Traditional family and cultural values are lampooned, though not seriously undermined.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are presented largely for laughs, not to push a singular worldview. It's far from the current trend of portraying dissenters as villains, satire here is more about absurdities than ideology.
