I mean he's not a leftist. I'm ignoring the constant sexual harassment and latent homophobia that seems to permeate the entire show and pretty much every character here and also that he's like a huge dick, but all his criticisms of people, the system and the world are oddly leftist. Never really noticed when I watched it back in it's heyday.

I hate watching shows I remember fondly from the 90's/00's and it's all homophobia, transphobia, and sexual harassment.

Out of all shows I've rewatched, I'd say King of the Hill holds up the best in this regard. There are a few episodes where you think it will go all 90s homophobic but pulls the rug out from under you.

A perfect example

I've recently been rewatching King of the Hill and have been really pleasantly surprised how well it holds up. Good guy Mike Judge.

Even the "bad opinions" the show displays in certain episodes are presented as such. There are a couple of lines here and there that could be accused of transphobia, but I feel like the show doesn't punch down, it just shows that Hank (or whoever) is just a bit behind the times

Yeah I rewatched this not too long ago, hoping that running it at 2x speed would make it better. It did for the most part.

I never saw the last season and when I saw it, I found I was right that the show was "How I Met Your Mother, starring Aunt Robin"

[-] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago

The final episode really ruined the show entirely.

spoilerThe total fuck you of undoing robin and Barney was unforgivable

Based Doctor “I will treat any patient no matter the cost to the bloated Kelso Regime’s for-profit enterprise” Cox vs cringe Doctor “You’re gay if you don’t like whiskey” Cox

Critical support, and so on. Cox is like a union guy who has good ideas about labor but has no clue about feminism or intersectionality

He's the comments section at Naked Capitalism

Inside Dr. Cox there are two wolves

Yeah I rewatched it a couple years ago. It's not perfect media but it aged better than I expected. But mainly, it is one of the shows for which Chinese fan subtitles are available.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

It is rough all the time, but it has a lot of heart, and it goes to very real places while other shows that try to do it bungle the execution.
