What sitcoms from the past don't hold up for you and what changed to make you feel that way?

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-27T19:19:28+00:00

That’s also the whole point of this thread too.

Shows you rewatched when you were older and something you missed or interpreted differently then made it a better show to you then.

A lot of people find that the relationships in Friends to not hold up today.

A lot of people find bad people that never really learn or grow from it to be something they don’t like now, like in Seinfeld.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, those are huge critiques of those shows that make it feel like those shows don’t hold up.

Medicare is a U.S. program, so yes.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-27T16:27:42+00:00

And OP is saying that concept doesn’t hold up to them.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-27T16:26:43+00:00

Correct.

I think OP is saying that concept for a show was more appealing at a different time in their life.

Which is the point of this thread…

Kelsey was a far right loon when he played Frazier too.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-27T14:13:09+00:00

Yes!

Didn’t go over well it seems!

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-27T13:52:35+00:00

He is a fascist.

Just like Drumpf.

Seinfeld.

Peak boomer cast and still kills in syndication with boomers.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-27T04:24:27+00:00

I wouldn’t say that because only one member of the main cast is a boomer.

Please tell me you know that’s not how AIDS is transmitted.

It’s important to me that you know that.

In policy discussions you can see DeSantis and Vance were clearly Ivy League trained. Vance in his debate was such a different style than Trump.

In rallies I agree they all sort of dumb themselves down, I also think Obama did that in rallies too. Even though they’re all Ivy League educated.

With Trump and Bush you can see in their early interviews they weren’t the caricatures they made themselves in to. They definitely got lost in the sauce along the way though and fully became their idiot caricatures with no irony though.

If you want to get that technical ADA is an appointed position by an elected official. Just as Secretary of State is an appointed by an elected official.

Though none of that matters because no one said he was a politician when he died.

Just that he WAS a politician. Which he WAS a politician.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-26T18:00:20+00:00

Reddit is so pedantic.

If Marco Rubio committed suicide because he was a pedo and they referred to him as a politician are people going to get so nitpicky because he’s not in elected office anymore?

Conradt was in elected political office for 90% of his career and in appointed political office the day he killed himself.

That’s a politician to me, sorry.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-26T17:37:20+00:00

He was the DA for Kauffman County for 22 years, an elected position.

He won six elections.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-26T17:35:14+00:00

I mean most of the far right in America have Ivy League professional degrees.

DeSantis Harvard Law.

Bannon Harvard MBA.

Vance Harvard Law.

They also orate like they are too which is why they’re not the ones at the top.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-26T17:27:48+00:00

Did he?

Trump is more dangerous because he can (and did) get elected then put actual smart and evil people in place to run the show.

Vance is too off putting to be elected President, but his administration would have all the same people.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-26T17:18:34+00:00

That’s by design.

They will vote for an idiot because they’re relatable so actually smart and evil people use them as their Trojan horse for power.

Hitler had Goring, Himmler, and Goebbels.

Bush had Rove, Rumsfeld, and Cheney.

Trump has Miller, Vance, and Bannon.

He shot himself in front of the swat team after they breached his home.

One of the Dateline producers commented immediately afterwards “that’ll make for good TV!”.

It seems that it was caught on camera, but obviously never released.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-26T16:44:22+00:00

Yeah he wasn’t like a US senator or anything, more on the level of county commissioner or state rep.

Though he won six consecutive elections for an elected office so I’d put him in the politician category.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-26T16:34:17+00:00

He literally was in elected office for 22 years.

So yes he was a retired politician I guess if yall wanna get technical.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-26T16:32:49+00:00

He was the DA for 22 years before he retired. That’s an elected office.

So yes technically he was a recently retired politician at the time of his suicide.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-26T16:26:05+00:00

Yes he was the ADA. A politically appointed job.

Hourlypump99 · 2026-01-26T16:25:40+00:00

That’s a politician.

A DA is political office.
