Leans Traditional
Primary
The show's central focus is apolitical slapstick comedy and character-driven humor, consciously avoiding political themes or ideological promotion, thus earning a neutral rating.
This classic 1950s comedy series features traditional casting typical of its era, with no explicit diversity initiatives or race/gender swaps. The narrative focuses on lighthearted humor and does not contain any critical portrayals of traditional identities or incorporate DEI themes.
Secondary
The Abbott and Costello Show, a 1950s sitcom, does not depict any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its comedic focus was on slapstick, wordplay, and situational humor typical of its era, without engaging with queer identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Abbott and Costello Show is an original television series, not an adaptation of existing source material with established characters. All main and recurring characters were created for the show or are the established personas of the lead actors, consistently portrayed by their original gender.
The Abbott and Costello Show features the titular stars playing extensions of their established personas, alongside new characters created for the series. There is no evidence of any character being canonically or historically established as one race in prior material and then portrayed as a different race in this show.
