What shows have you grown out of, or has society grown out of? Were they popular in their time? Were they not so much? Why do you feel like they’ve aged? I’ll leave mine below

    Fucking Bones.

    When it was spread out week by week, over multiple seasons, it was easier to miss how horrible the writing was.

    They turned every character into a one dimensional caricature about midway through the run. And, when you watch it binge style, you realize that Booth was a major asshole. Just shitty to any of the other men, despite claiming to be friends.

        Bug boy. That’s what Booth called Hodgins (spelling?) right up to the end of the show. The same thing he called him at the beginning when swinging his fbi dick and trying to intimidate people. He was constantly trying to pull top dog shit on Sweets.

        Bones herself went from a fairly believable scientist with friendships and an understanding of people to being either the absent minded professor that’s behind the times, or (as some people have phrased it), an autistic savant with no ability to understand basic human interaction.

        Angela stayed pretty consistent though. So did Cam.

          Sounds like our flanderization of each of them. Can’t blame it too much, there’s only so much the original premise of the show can do. Bones helps FBI. Character growth doesn’t make fun TV according to TV execs
