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.

      I found the show offensive when it started because I don’t care for how they made fun of the neurodivergent. It grew on me but I never became a big fan. Betting it didn’t age well

      My brother in law loves that show but I’ve always thought it was pandering at best and outright stupid most of the time.
