Almost every television programme these days appears to be prefaced by
a warning that it contains things that may upset some people, and I
can't help thinking it would be more economical to alert us to the
opposite, in other words to let us know if a programme contains
nothing that would be upsetting to anyone, so that those of us with
brains could be saved the bother of watching it.
If anyone really is upset by watching television, two thoughts occur
to me-
1. Maybe they shouldn't watch television.
2. How on earth do they cope with real life?
Rod.
The warnings are just an attempt to cut down on the number of green ink complaints. There’s a whole bunch of people who are professionally offended rather than being actually offended. The professionally offended are often claiming to be offended on the behalf of others. Those others often aren’t offended at all.

Wasn't it common before small radio microphones were available with
enough channels for every performer?

proper singers don't need microphones. I'll have to ask my friend who once was a B&W minstrel in a touring stage production.

But mikes allow singers to sing at a normal volume, without the
distortions and straining of the voice which is required to project it
so it fills the auditorium. Think of the "power-assisted" raunchy voices
of 1940s American musicals which are painful to listen to for any length
of time.
I was thinking of opera.

The best description I have heard of opera is "Screaming in tune".
