Inexplicably popular, revered by critics, nobody seems to have realized that these iconic emperors had not a single stitch of clothing between them.  Some have drawn my ire on these here pages before, but there are others.  So, ranked in order of artistic nudity:

• Marlon Brando (Method mumbling)
• Elizabeth Taylor (squeaky voice and horrible acting not fully redeemed by large breasts)
• Johnny Cash (bass monotone;  probably the smallest vocal range of any singer ever)
• Jackson Pollock (gaudy splashes masquerading as Art)
• Frank Sinatra (couldn’t hit a note with a baseball bat;  should have quit singing in about 1958)

None of these TV shows could be made today because #NetworkCowardice.   Ranked from “Least” Offensive to “OMG I Need Counseling!”:

• The Bob Newhart Show (makes fun of mental illness / psychoses, plus airline pilot Howard is a serial seducer / rapist)
• Dukes Of Hazzard (OMG Confederate Flag Warning!)
• Tom ‘n Jerry cartoons  (all that violence, sexism and animal cruelty)
• Benny Hill (sexism, male chauvinism / piggery, etc.)
• Monty Python’s Flying Circus (sample):
  “I don’t like darkies!”
  “Hahahaha… she doesn’t like darkies… who does?“

…and a special Dishonorable Mention for female stereotyping:

• How To Marry A Millionaire
