Xanadoood Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Cheers popped up in my Netflix recently. For shits and giggles, i started watching from season 1, episode 1. The jokes are cute. I get the appeal of why it was popular during its time. But by todays standards, it comes across as goofy. I hate to use the term, but it's dated IMO. Any other shows you have come across from years ago that now don't hold up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Friends. Dreadful then. Dreadful and dated now.I was going to say Friends but it's not in any sense of the word a classic show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 80's stuff in general doesn't hold up very well, especially considering how popular the shows were back in the day. That Alex P. Keaton show is another example...Family Ties.Any of the shows that were kind of full of themselves don't hold up well. On the other hand, something like Full House or Saved by the Bell seems to be able to cross generations. My 9 year old son likes the Andy Griffith Show a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (I watched an episode a while back. It was WAY funnier when I was a kid.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 It's a relatively recent show, but I find Everybody Loves Raymond unwatchable. I think it's horrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Friends had an entire episode dedicated to Hootie and The Blowfish. Enough said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Grownup Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I used to watch Family Ties when I was a kid, but now I find the whole goody two shoes vibe too much. Yuck! I also watched that show that had Joe Cocker's With A Little Help From My Friends as the opening theme. Forgot the name of the show, but I wonder how that would hold up today?

USB Connector Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Most of the episodes in the original Star Trek. Some episodes are timeless, but the majority of them are overly sexist and/or cheesy... which I suppose are funny to watch in a Nic Cage kind of way but I don't think anyone can really take those episodes seriously any more.
