It’s pretty unreasonable to expect comedy from 20 years ago to still keep up with the social mores of today. Comedy isn’t really made to last, the shows that gen z’ers love today are going to age poorly in 20 years as well, and that’s okay.

Also people with present day eyes and current climate judge stuff from the past and want it to be erased forever. Its stupidity at the highest form.

Let it be it's own world because current day has evolved. Bitching over the past entertainment form is a waste of energy. Forcing people to apologize for what was accepted back then is too extreme.

I've always thought it is important to have that material around to remind us of where we've been and how far we've come. There's value in having those reminders. Sanitizing the past just makes it easy to repeat those mistakes. It also makes it easier for people to stand in the way of progress when the progress made in the past is erased.
