I struggle to enjoy childhood stuff these days (TMNT, Knight Rider, Star Trek etc). They’re not as good as I remember them (and ADHD makes it hard to be patient if it’s not excellent). And yet the new interpretations are even harder to relate too.
I’m exploring new ways to unwind and have fun, and thankfully there are many.
My childhood shows were The Incredible Hulk, Emergency, Hill Street Blues, Dallas, M*A*S*H, Cheers, The Dukes of Hazzard etc. I guess M*A*S*H was sort of OK but it's not especially hilarious in retrospect (the movie still holds up, at least). The rest are all not that great.
I recognise most of those:) It’s like a tug of war because the part of me looking for comfort is drawn to the old stuff but I also want novelty. The lesson I’ve learned is to help my kids form attachments more to better things than games and TV.
If you're the same age as me you might have watched the Roots miniseries. I recommend not rewatching that one. It had a huge impact on me as a kid as far as awakening me to some of the horrors of my country's past. I tried rewatching it and couldn't make it past OJ Simpson wearing some sort of pseudo-African clown costume.
It was broadcast here when I was a kid, and I’ve always been very glad I saw it. It taught me about structural injustice and solidarity. But I can imagine exactly what you mean too.
