Re: Old shows that hold up without nostalgia glasses

MASH-- yes, some of the sexism is egregious, but it's not *constant*/without any balance, we *do* get to see women as competent and intelligent and supportive of each other, and as people who don't all want or think the same things. And the characters who are egregiously sexist one moment can be egalitarian in another!

Taxi (a few moments one might cringe at, but a SOLIDLY funny show, and with a few of its own ahead-of-its-time moments)

Murder, She Wrote (except for the arc where a friend of her dead husband essentially kidnaps her and asks her to marry him and he's not immediately the villain of the piece)

A surprising amount of St. Elsewhere (though it's not streaming anywhere at present)

The Twilight Zone

Star Trek (recent rewatches only include TOS, DS9, and some of the films, so I can't speak to everything else, but hey)

Family Ties

Columbo, albeit with some episodes having some very dated bits

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe held up for *me*, as someone who has ONLY watched it after finding it online some 40 years after the fact.

*Most* of Midsomer Murders holds up, it is one of the shows we'll put on if we just want *something* on that's familiar and easy.


I haven't yet attempted a rewatch of Perfect Strangers, so we'll see if that holds up for me.
