Watched a little bit of this show for this first time in like 20 years. Crazy that I used to love this show - but at least I have an excuse, I was like 14 at the time.
It's tough to even finish one episode, it's just so, so bad. Painfully unfunny. Of course there's just a ton of underlying sexism and focus on gender roles. But it's really just death by a thousand unfunny cuts.
And this was one of the most popular shows in the 90s, and arguably THE most popular among what are now boomers (I'd say Seinfeld, Friends, and ER were mostly watched by Gen-Xers)! But I think I'm starting to understand the brain rot of boomers a little better. Of course Tim Allen turned out to be a massive chud. Boomers think this is the way the world should be. Men should be "men" i.e. an insane stereotype of masculinity not as lived by real people, but as portrayed by actors for entertainment. And the boomers don't get why we don't want to go along with it and anything they don't understand that makes them angry leads to tantrums.
Seriously, maybe I'll make Chapo Chat challenge coins for anyone who can sit through like 3 episodes in a row...
Just to let you know Comrade. Don't feel bad at all for crying during times like that. That shows you have developed empathy. It means you can look at the suffering of others and actually understand it as similar to suffering that you have gone through and you feel that same pain.
IMO its one of the key differences between us and the chuds
