Why the gently caress do people think the Flintstones was good? It was terrible. From that lovely loving Hanna-Barbara animation to the complete lack of jokes that weren't "HUSBAND LAZY/JACKIE GLEESON!" and ANIMAL IS ACTUALLY THE SHITTER LOLOLOL BUY CIGARETTES! there was nothing redeemable about the show. And it just got worse when the show dragged on, from BAM BAM the retarded cave boy to The Great loving Gazoo, it just got dumber and dumber. I mean, I thought they couldn't top the rock pun named early 60s Hollywood abuser cameos in the early seasons, but they loving did it! Why the gently caress do people act like this is some classic animated poo poo? It's not even loving 60s Looney Toons, when Looney Toons sucked rear end. gently caress Fred in his fat loving rear end with a dinosaur cock.

Back before cartoon network rolled out its super star lineup of Johnny bravo, cow and chicken, dexter etc., this and the Jetsons were decent background noise while you did other stuff as a kid.

Well, I'm sure there are people who might think that it is not funny. Humor might just be subjective but I think you should research it more and let us know your findings.

For modern day examples, see something like "the Big Bang Theory" or "Two and Half Men." I think both of these shows are terrible unfunny garbage but they are massively popular.

My in-laws literally LOL several times while watching them as I just sit there unamused.

See, humor is not subjective. Those are objectively unfunny. Your in-laws are just idiots, sorry for your loss.

Yeah, somehow the Jetsons was actually good. Which is weird because it was just Space Flintstones.

The Jetsons was better science fiction than most of what passes for science fiction these days. Haunting and disturbing vision of the future mankind is heading towards vs. swolle dudes flying around in space fighting space monsters and sleeping with space-women.

The latter is classic Science Fiction though (hello John Carter of Mars!).

John Carter is fantasy, just in space. That's not just me saying it, it's classified as "science fantasy" and you don't really see it in classics of science fiction lists or classic science fiction collections. It's one of the grandfathers of the swords-and-sorcery stuff that inspired most modern fantasy settings (videogames), but that sort of stuff taking over and eclipsing other forms of sci-fi in general is pretty new.

I think lots of people like I Love Lucy nowadays because they go looking for female actors in the 50s 60s or whenever it was and find her, and then they go "oh hey this show is funny, also this woman is cool and good".
