What shows did you like but now can’t believe you considered passable even to waste time? I tried rewatching Community recently. That’s a really bad and unfunny show. None of the characters are even funny except Pierce and the smart girl, but she baby talks a lot more than I remembered.

I also have a strong sense that 30 rock might not hold up at all.

The Walking Dead. Years ago I was into it week to week. Looking back on it now it was a bunch of boring filler with unlikable characters.

Hard disagree OP, rewatched Community like two years ago and loved it all over again. As to your theory, no, my opinions are never wrong so shows I thought were good are always good. Case closed.

30 Rock still holds up the writing and cast were/are all amazing. There are some jokes that are probably a bit dated or problematic but I dont think any of them were particularly mean spirited.

I could get crucified for this. The A-Team. I watched it several years ago and it brought me back to when I was five years old. It made me realize that the only time I liked it was when they were locked in a garage or something and made a homemade tank. I impatiently waited through the rest of the show for that to happen, sometimes it never did.

Muppet Babies. Watched when I was SO young that I had zero idea what was even happening. It was literally just 'muppets moving on the TV' to me. On a whim maybe a year or two ago I looked up a random episode to see what it was actually like. Oh my God. Oh.my.god. Aside from being nonsensical trash, the voice acting is horrifying. Miss Piggy sounds like a fat southern woman who has gargled glass for two decades scream shouting at you while grating her nails on a chalkboard with EVERY line. I have no idea how children weren't crying from this.

My god CSI was wildly melodramatic and hosed up as well as like, violently opposed to any kind of grounding in reality. One memory that sticks out is one of the characters aggressively berating a suspect in an interrogation room for raping his daughter and saying he's gonna ROT IN PRISON for the rest of his life while he's visibly confused and upset. She had one of those false pregnancies caused by mental delusions and he was 100% innocent. No like, apology or the character being held responsible for inflicting that on that guy, that I can remember. (Yeah I know law enforcement gets away with horrible traumatic interrogations all the time I just mean in the context of a TV show where we're supposed to like and empathize with a character and think she's not a monster.) That said, I loving loved it as a teenager. I think House is similarly plagued with melodrama and ridiculous poo poo and horrible decisions that make it very difficult to like a character. I think it has some solid stuff still but a lot of it doesn't age well and it feels weird that the character of House is made to be sympathetic and likable despite all the increasingly horrible poo poo he does to not only himself but others.

I'm not sure if you're actually supposed to like House as though he's supposed to be your friend, he's likeable because he's flawed and interesting and well performed. He's a self sabotaging misanthropic shithead by design.

Watching House now that I'm a grown rear end man and not a stoned teenager reminded me that House is actually a loving psycho and not a likeable misanthrope.

Ah well. Valko posted:I could get crucified for this. Hell yeah buddy, me too, but with the twist I could only watch the German dubbed version and I didn't understand a word they were saying. Another 80s show that I'm sure doesn't hold up now is the Dukes of Hazzard. I recall watching it for the cool car chases.
