the effects is S1 are pretty bad tho lol

I loved them lmao it reminded me of twin peaks

 

[Comrade Khan]

both of them are really good actors and that kind of chemistry is just...off the charts lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

same vibes ya lol

 

[Chris]

It's interesting how some shows hold up compared to others that were equally or more popular from the era. Like sometimes it's understandable why they weren't as popular then but are still good now

 

[Chris]

And then there's stuff like the Twilight zone that's literally just timeless and will never get old

 

[Comrade Khan]

also the show is very progressive. Scully is a pretty damn good bastion of feminism and a badass

 

[Chris]

Yeah scully was the best, and the outdated tropes the show has weren't like the worst ones or anything

 

[Comrade Khan]

my only complain in season 2 is shew gets kidnapped or abducted like 3 times lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

ke ...guys lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

switch it up - the stanist episode tho wens

 

[Chris]

My gf and I are rewatching friends now and yeah like they make jokes about being gay and stuff and some of it is insensitive but I think for the time it aired it's actually way more progressive than it gets credit for too. Like my mom loved the show and her just seeing drag queens represented even if there's jokes about it had to be a big deal lmao

simpsons were often like that too - homer always made gay jokes but he always came off as a dong when he said it and then they are represented fairly ok i think

Early Simpsons is super wholesome or only gets dumb in the 2000s when edginess was over and they were trying to compete with family guys then late 2010s it went back to being alright again
