  • Well there’s a lot of shows with a dated sense of humour and morality. So I won’t call any of those out. Y’know anything racist or sexist etc whether intentional or not.

    I’m also ignoring the fact that many shows would fail now BC what they did back then would be cliche by now. If Tolkien wrote lotr now it would be a good genre book but not what it is.

    Having explained my criteria I’ll go for the comedies of Jim Carey. I guess anything with a laugh track for one. I think comedy dates bad, slapstick physical comedy on the other hand is more universal and lives on, like Conan O’Brien for example. But I still don’t think that dumb and dumber would work. I’d also add superbad to this.

    The thing is all art is a product of it’s era, being timeless is difficult and nearly impossible. An Alfred Hitchcock movie released today would fail since all that he’s done has changed cinema already.
