What shows have aged horribly for you? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

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

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.

3rd Rock is quite good. Definitely a product of its time, it has what appears at first to be all the same poorly-aged sentiments, but almost always with the purpose of parodying how backwards and savage that behavior is

Third Rock absolutely slaps, to this day.
