It is mind boggling to me that in the year 2023 we're complaining about porn, LGBT existence, and fucking book content. Isn't this what we were laughing at 20 years ago? About book burnings and how stupid the previous generations were for fearing and banning media that challenged them?
It's easy to forget because of how quickly the cultural zeitgeist shifted when it finally did, but the early 2000s was still very homophobic. Watching pretty much any comedy from that era reminds you of just how common the punchline to jokes was just, "teehee they're gay."
Yup been watching Scrubs and while a still funny show a lot of the time, there's still a lot of jokes that make me cringe. I'm sure it's like that for any show in that era.
Scrubs was cringe even when it was fresh
Fair lol.
