The Tiger King: It was great escapism during the pandemic.
The Mary Tyler Moore show was released when the world was shifting for women. the focus of the show was on her career.
Along those same lines, All In The Family was released right after the upheavals of the 60s and people were taking a hard look at family, racial and cultural dynamics.
The Big Bang Theory really capitalized on the whole Geek CUlture that was exploding in the late aughts.
