scott pilgrim is so fuckin 2010 nerd culture cringe its not nearly as bad as ready player one but like, whenever ive tried watching scott pilgrim vs the world it made me cringe so loving bad because it gives me flashbacks to being in high school when it came out and everyone being like "waow this movie is so cool it has nerd stuff in it!!" around the same time everyone started wearing fake glasses and t-shirts with video game references on them

Drew Carey is kinda partially relevant imo, less for aging poorly and mainly just aging. But drat, look at young drew:

The Drew Carey Show didn't age well in the sense it's almost completely disappeared from cultural memory. I don't think it's been re-run or syndicated on a single basic cable network. For how quickly shows get cancelled in the current TV hellscape, there are quite a few 5-8 season sitcoms that were big while airing that just faded into complete obscurity.

I always kind of wanted to check in on News Radio, which I got into because it was syndicated in reruns on a local channel when I was in college, but I've never seen it again and am honestly kind of nervous about the Joe Rogan and Andy Dick quotients.

Yeah I loved that show but those two are loving cancer now so it's hard to imagine enjoying it again. For now it merely lives on as pleasant nostalgia

You just reminded of that time Andy Dick mouthed off about putting the "Phil Hartman hex" on Jon Lovitz and Lovitz responded by beating the poo poo out of him

Both it and Spin City hit syndication before they finished their original runs, but I think as soon as they ended both got replaced fairly quickly. Granted, I think both were cases where they were either on local stuff (Like WB/UPN at the time) or weird time slots like real early mornings or late at night. It wasn’t like they were getting that 7 PM window on TBS that was Seinfeld for 15 years and then Big Bang Theory for the last 5~ or so.

I feel like that's just the nature of broadcast television. Nobody wonders why you can't catch reruns of Step by Step, it's only a rare few that are popular enough to remain relevant after they've gone. I think most of the time people just stop watching a show, and it flounders for a few years before quietly being cancelled, the only surprise being that it was on a lot longer than anyone suspected.

I distinctly remember syndicated Drew Carey, because that was the first time I saw it. But that was also 15 years ago. Everything that stays in the cultural consciousness from syndication will eventually die out. It will happen to Seinfeld too. I don't think the media world exists in such a way where you can have people watching The Little Rascals and Three Stooges shorts from the 30s up into the 1980s in black and white.

Your primary channels make more money with infomercials, but subchannels are rife with old TV. Did you ever want to watch According to Jim? It's on Laff, along with Home Improvement and How I Met Your Mother.

heck, one of my favorite tv channels nowadays has reruns of You Bet Your Life and Basil Rathbone’s Sherlock Holmes, and it’s pretty nifty it also has really old Dragnet, from before anyone realized how it sounded describing suspects as “cauc”s (short for Caucasian, or honky), which never fails to make me giggle like the idiot child I am

Drew Carey would have improv based episodes and while it had people like Drew and Ryan Styles who had a background in it, a lot of the cast did their best to keep up but weren't exactly trained to do it. They also had april fool's contests where the episode would be filled with mistakes and people were supposed to write in all they saw for a contest.
