You are indeed younger than me, by a whopping 3 years. I can be either the earliest of millenials or the youngest of Gen X, take your pick.
I have no problem with people liking different things than me; it’s what makes us different & interesting. I simply find it a bit odd when people endlessly go on about how funny it was, right after they say how groundbreaking it was, as if the 2 are the same. Ditto Cheers.
Since I grew up surrounded by dysfunction on both sides, retro doesn’t even touch it. My grandparents were dour fossils even back in the 80s (they supported Nixon right up until he oozed onto that chopper) so even classic TV like what you listed was too current for them. My shrew of a grandmother was too much of a prude to enjoy classic art or Leave it to Beaver. The parents were never that bad-my dad had a strange habit of buying electronic toys on rainy weekends & fortunately, preferred to look forward.
And for the record-I was a teenager in the 90s & found the sitcoms in that decade insufferable as well. If I ever find the filth that greenlit Friends I will murder him, right after I strangle Jerry Seinfeld.
