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

Anything by Graham Linehan. He put out some excellent tv, then when he got a social media audience reveals he’s a gigantic TERF.

Going back, you can start to see it in his work.

As the kids say: it just hits different 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe I was just too young & naive to understand what it portraying was when it came to racism & sexism.

I never watched it originally, but having seen most of it later I just don’t find it that funny. The show wasn’t as clever as it thought it was.

I can still enjoy it, but there are definitely things in there that would not fly anymore. I try to take it in stride, that we should be happy that those sort of jokes aren’t okay anymore, but I still cringe at some of them.

Seinfeld and Friends. Products of their time, and they need to stay there.

Seinfeld is for sure hilarious, in context of a 90s show. I don’t think it would work at all now

Cell phones made most of the situations in Seinfeld obsolete.

seinfeld is sure a product of its time but it also suffers from everybody copying it to a point where if youve watched a lot of shows post seinfeld and then watch seinfeld for the first time it seems seinfeld isnt anything too special
