Similar thing happened over here many years ago with Benny Hill on tv.
His tv show had been going for years and nobody complained about it being offensive or rude (some complained it wasnt funny,but thats a different story) as it was mainly just innuendo and a few women in their underwear,but tv execs decided to ban him from tv one day cause he was "offensive".
Benny went to the USA for a while & found a reasonable degree of sucess so finally British tv said "Oh,we better get him back then!" so Benny got the last laugh by dying soon after!
