discussion Which Sitcom Aged The Worst?

[Technicolor]

It's probably HIMYM but I still like it. Barney as a character was very questionable

[popmusicisdead]

(White) FRIENDS

 

[Blade Runner]

EdGy! people truly think Friends is a bad show or something just because is/was extremely popular, lmfaooo. Sad! 

 

OT: HIMYM, of course.

I don't get why some of you think TBBT aged horribly. I think HIMYM aged much worse, especially with the shitty ending and Barney being so cringeworthy you cannot watch the show.

himym was shitty and dated when it came out, so that. the others are still watchable.

Anyone voting for friends just wasn’t loved by their parents but it’s ok.

Friends aged the worst because it was really beloved, a huge hit, but more and more is kinda trash. And not because it was a product of its time - Seinfeld is a product of its time. The complaints against Friends now were expressed back then but not taken as seriously at the time. 
 

Big Bang Theory was never good. 70s - that wasn’t my thing, so I can’t tell you how it stands. Same with HIMYM. The others are solid/classics.

 

You know which sitcom aged the best? 30 Rock. The comedy was layered in that motherfucker! Full House, which I hate, and Family Matters, which I love, also aged well because, despite being truly archaic relics, their moral grandstanding and tug-at-your-heartstrings cheesiness (the audience goes “awwwww”) are timeless.  
 

Now in the words of YouTuber Black Music Archive, thank you for listening, thank me for speaking ☺️

I was waiting for someone to mention 30 Rock. By far the best sitcom ever.

According to this poll ATRL is displaying it's usual tastelessness, go to hell homosexuals

HIMYM aged the worst 

Friends obviously aged the best

[glitch]

Big Bang Theory didn't age badly it was just never good 

 

HIMYM has aged kinda badly yeah, which makes me sad because I loved it when I first watched it. But Barney always made me a bit uncomfortable. Plus Robin is such a pick me 

 

That 70s show feels the most forgotten out of all of these though. Literally the first time I've heard it mentioned in ages was the recent court case. 

[Komet]

Who tf is voting Friends, it's as relevant as ever

[chosensparkles]

people saying HIMYM bc of Barney like... yeah he was cringe but let's be honest here, he kinda represented many men in this world...

I personally still love to rewatch Mother despite that awful last season

I haven't rewatched Big Bang yet but even back then I had trouble really LOVING it

Friends is a classic sorry

watching The Office and it's comedy gold!

[barbiegrande]

70s Show and The Office are the only funny shows on that list. Everything else is trash

[Eóghan]

Definitely 'How I Met Your Mother'.

It's really a product of it's time 

 

TBBT will age like milk at some point but so far not yet for me, there's still some hilarious/fantastic episodes that I sometime stumble upon. And the whole socially awkward group who don't know how to interact normally still apply to this day.

 

 

 

 

 

Also 'Seinfeld' and 'Friends' despite being filled with cringe-inducing laugh tracks have aged incredibly well.

 

'The Office' and 'Parks & Rec' will never age.

[magazine]

Modern Family doesn't need to be on the poll because we now it's FRESH 

[Gesamtkunstwerk]

Everytime someone says they're watching HIMYM I think "is this 2011".

I just don’t think Friends is a great show. It’s more a background noise sitcom to help you fall asleep or something.
