The fun turned into appalling ignorance

I used to love Sabrina, until I rewatched the show and realized how much hate there is being spread against Europeans. In almost every episode, the (French or the) Germans (or the Swiss etcetc.) are being insulted, and not only Hitler or the Nazis, but also the East Germans (as warhungry - what???) and the German humour (as if the Sabrina writers are creative and know enough about humour in order to stay away from ridiculous, untrue insulting jokes), yes even harmless, innocent operettas like "Die Fledermaus" are being defamed as Nazi operas (not even the right genre and no connection whatsoever). And all this while letting Harvey say in the next episode that it is an honour to meet Ghengis Khan - one of histories biggest mass murderers - you've got to be kidding me (and by the way, the Germans have made massive reparations, while I do not see any recognition and reparation for the US war crimes committed in Europe and elsewhere, quite the opposite). And since the wonderful Beth Broderick and the great Caroline Rhea have to perform a ridiculous Hiphop piece in the episode at hand, I can only say: since you do not know that there are very funny, clever, non-hateful, creative German comedy programmes - which you will never get to know, since you pamper your ignorance, and/or they are bought by Hollywood/or Mexico or... and turned into US/Mexican/... movies and shows and therefore never recognized as German humour (and others are to specific - like all of Michael Herbigs fantastic stuff, so you cannot transfer it to a different culture, but they still exist!!)- I would prefer a German comedy channel about a US Hiphop-TV station ANYTIME! Badly researched, ignorant, offensive - first, I was unhappy to learn about a Sabrina-remake, but it actually is a big chance to make it better; thinking about how US-shows are getting worse, defaming and insulting Europeans more today than ever before, however, I dread the idea of a remake even more.
