I was originally just going to make this post about TV shows that are hard to watch now, but decided to include all media. What I mean by hard to watch is it's either super dated due to what has occured in the world, seeing what used to be is painful ("the world you grew up in is lost" meme), or seeing old media one can now see the progression of leftism and what was slightly obnoxious then is now understood to be the beginning of something much worse.
An example of the latter is Burn Notice. I love that show, but the serious daddy issues and pointless drama is a little hard to stomach nowadays, and I can't stand Fiona's proto girl boss crap. She even has the botoxed/ heavy makeup face of modern thots. Or Dukes of Hazard had an episode which featured the blue pill storyline of love. Two lady drivers come into town and show up the Duke boys in every way. Then their evil exes show up and the Duke boys have to save the fair maidens, despite them being better than them in every way. Only once the boys beat the exes do the ladies show their love towards them... An entire episode geared towards white knighting/ simping, with the women both being super independent are more awesome than the men and super damsels in distress in need of protection from bad men they used to date.
I'm just going to say it, sitcoms like Friends and especially Big Bang theory are extremely hard to watch now, the latter A LOT more now thanks to leftist infiltration of geek/nerd spaces.
I don't have an issue with older shows and some mid 2000s and earlier British shows like I'll watch some of the older crime ones with the goat being Columbo if that's ever on and older British shoes show how hard they've fallen as if you ever watched The Thick of It you KNOW how much he was wasted by terrible writing when he was Doctor who.
Those first two shows have always been horrible.
Friends kind of lulled you in since was something you could relate to (points to the lyrics of the intro song) and didn't deliberately attack or demean their audience.
Big Bang theory was the opposite as if you were in the in the geek/nerd scene it was just demeaning you every time they could.
it crowd was clearly done at some level by nerds for nerds
Big bang theory was someone trying to cash in on 'nerdy/'i fucking love science' shit yeah.
It could have been a good parody of those "friend group gets all the bitches" shows like How I Met Your Mother/Friends by having the men be extreme playboys along with being MIT profs leading physics research and have Penny be the straight man trying to figure out how "nerds can be so cool" after she gets rejected by all of them...
Uh, and I use the loosest definition of "good" as possible there. Actually that'd probably suck too, so never mind.
