    Scrolling through this, a few thoughts come to mind:

    1. I forgot how deep into the decade Friends went, and it was definitely well past its sell-by date several seasons before it ended.
    2. Will & Grace probably best fits as a show that aged poorly, though it was groundbreaking in putting gay characters front and center at all.
    3. As shows that won’t be remembered as fondly because they’re cringey relics of their era, it’s a dead heat between Sex and the City and Entourage. Entourage is worse, but I think contemporary viewers already knew that.
    4. Honorable mention to Joss Whedon and Ricky Gervais personally making their classic shows a lot harder to enjoy.
