People cant help what generation they are born into and how they are brought up,things were so different when he was growing up I would think.people need to realise he will be set in his ways,I doubt he meant any offense to be honest.

Also bear in mind that everyones perception of what is humour and what isn't is very subjective.

If it was an ongoing thing, perhaps it may be an issue. It also depends what people consider good television, do they want a bit of controversy, an argument, fun or a showmance. There are a limited number of options before it all becomes very boring

'set in his ways' isn't an alternative for being ignorant.
