Politically and grammatically correct version of Lil' Abner?

Question:Call it "Little" Abner with Mother Yolkum and Father Yolkum. Set in Canine Place New Hampshire, so not to offend southerners. Daisy Mae could be in an ankle length dress or business suit and do the same with the other women, as not to objectify them. Also, Abner could be a small 90-pound man as not to perpetuate the overly masculine stereotype. "If I had my drothers" could become "I if I would rather..."

How else could this show be fixed?

I think your question is sardonic rather than serious.

In that humorous vein--
Doesn't That Remove the Rag from the Bush
Return Them to Their Place of Origin

And you'd have to completely remove "Jubilation T. Cornpone," as it criticizes a soldier.

I don't agree that "politically and grammatically correct" and "fixed" are the same thing.

It couldn't and shouldn't be "fixed."

The whole humor of the show is parody, lovingly done. If you removed all the "offensive" stuff, there would be nothing left. If you made the dialogue grammatically correct, the intention of the show would be gone. It wouldn't be Abner anymore. If you wanted to "not to perpetuate the overly masculine stereotype," you would have to remove a good portion of Act II, and a good half of the plot. The whole play hinges on Yokumberry Tonic making scrawny guys into muscle men.

You would have to change over half of the lines and lyrics too. And the characters of Appasionata, Moonbeam, and a lot of Daisy Mae would have to be seriously overhauled.

Abner shouldn't be any more offensive to country folks than The Music Man is offensive to people in Iowa. It's a send up. That's the reason it is funny. I grew up in the countrified south, and I don't find it offensive at all. The country parody is done kindly, not maliciously.

It's also full of serious stabs at senators and the government. What about that? "The Country's in the Very Best of Hands" is seriously critical of Washington.

My point is that the whole show is a parody of one thing or another. If you took out all the country stuff, the government criticism, and the sexism, there would be no show left.

Anyhow. I'm rambling. My view is that there is nothing to "fix." (And besides, it would violate the rights contract.) I love this show, but it's no longer a timely play. It's a product of its time. However fun, it is a museum piece.

Why mess it up? IT really is a dated show, and not much value in doing it.

That not Only Sucks ! Its Plagiarism at its worst, I would not even remotely call it " Artistic License " sorry dude for being so callus.
