I accidentally saw some episodes of the office. Michael Scott and Dwight are more reactionary than I originally remembered. Just small details, but also the character’s personalities.
I just get a lot of vibes like, the writers thought “History has ended” but seeing this stuff later in life I know for a fact history comes back for season 2.
I’ve noticed things and gotten the vibe from other old TV shows, too.
The old TV I watch is mostly Star Trek, so thankfully that still holds up. And Seinfeld, which can have some bad politics but is still 100x better than Friends.
I wonder how the Comedy Central shows of that time period hold up. I am guessing terribly.
