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

Pretty much any cop shows.

Monk, NCIS, whatever. They've got so many narratives that are basically: it's ok for cops to ignore laws so they can get the bad guy. Somebody else in the thread mentioned Frasier for the misogyny, and that reminded me there's also an episode where the dad talks about being proud of lying on the stand to put someone in jail.

Ugh a warrant?! We don't have time, he's the bad guy and we need to get in there now! If you hold up the process DA then you're responsible!

Gullible viewers: "Yeah! Stupid DA, holding up the perfect bold cops by... respecting the 4th amendment"
