What shows have you grown out of, or has society grown out of? Were they popular in their time? Were they not so much? Why do you feel like they’ve aged? I’ll leave mine below

    My girlfriend is rewatching the Big Bang theory. Not a fan of the laugh tracks, but even beyond that the humor seems quite dated and offensive due to using a lot of negative stereotypes: ableism, sexism, racism, etc

      My parents tried to get me to watch it because “you would love this show!”

      Worst fucking garbage I’ve ever seen. Unwatchable trash.

        Some friends of mine told me I would like it because I would be able to relate to Sheldon. I watched one episode, and now I wonder if those friends don’t like me and were intending to insult me.

    Over the last few years I did some stretches of a lot of 90’s and early 2000’s sitcoms.

    In regards to the ones I now cant stand: Home Improvement, Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens tops my list. I adored those shows growing up, now I wouldnt watch bored flicking through the channels.

    Was very surprised how much I ended up loving some I hated growing up. Seinfield, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and Frasier, just to name a few.

      If you’d like to see a version of King Of Queens/Everybody Loves Raymond done really well for the modern age, the show ‘Kevin can Fuck Himself’ does it amazingly. Its a single camera sitcom from the dopey husbands point of view, and a dark, moody drama from the wife’s point of view. 10/10 television.
