Ross from Friends is such a lovely entitled Nice Guy™ stereotype that it's amazing audiences were ever expected to sympathize with him.

If that actress had actually tried to do a Shatner impression the episode would have been amazing. Like John Travolta playing Nic Cage in Face Off

I wanted to mention another, Twin Peaks. I started watching it recently, and I am halfway through season 2 which aired in 1990-1991. I think it still holds up super well today. The largest things dating it are the relatively slow pacing by modern standards, and how much the show drew from soap operas of the time. The hair and fashion is of course very early 90s, but that works in a period piece kind of way. I was kind of blown away by the trans character portrayed by David Duchovny, the portrayal isn't perfect, but it is overwhelmingly positive.

I'm probably more surprised because my reference for trans representation in the 90s was Ace Ventura.

The pacing problems were the result of studio interference. The show was huge, it blew up in a way that nobody expected in season one, and the studio insisted that David Lynch stretch out season two to double the episodes. When he said no, they fired him and brought in somebody who would.

NO MA'AM was like prototypical MRA but we were in on the joke that Al and his friends were all a bunch of losers for being in it

I bet if you trace the founders of the men's rights movement backwards you'll see every one of them was at just the right age to be watching this and not get that it was a joke. Just like Cartman and the Alt Right.
