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
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.
Third rock is on my to-watch list, I’ll have to bump it up. I agree with you on the can’t watches. You can tell Home Improvement just wanted to solidify male toxicity as a normal thing, albeit they goofed with it a bit, and at least Jill went on to get her doctorate - but there were still very much gender roles throughout the show. King of Queens is just… annoying now, the only positive is when Patton Oswalt is on screen. Everybody Loves Raymond I’ll admit is a comfort show. Not for it’s award winning acting or anything, but I still find it a chill veg-out tune-out show.
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.
