The Partridge Family was a beloved 70s television series, and, though many still love it, we have to admit that some jokes haven't aged all that well.

Those don't sound that bad. People seem to want to control others and decide what should be right or wrong.

The only thing that makes me cringe is when Chris says he wants to be a negro.

Not a single joke per se that may have aged poorly but how about an entire episode? There was one episode from the first season called "My Son, The Feminist" that depending on who you ask, made fun of feminism and women seeking equal rights. It featured a young woman named Tina, who actually had some valid points about sexism and misogyny, but was nevertheless, painted as the antagonist for no other reason other than she wanted to be treated as an equal. Even worse, Shirley and Laurie seem to have had relatively few arguments about it.
