Please don't rape my childhood.
I figured out a while ago that as a child i had a much huger imagination and less expectation and my suspension of disbelief was off the charts... Often, as a 5 year old I would scream at the TV "No you asshole Snuffy!! Don't go to get a new bloody Tie to look good! Big Bird has gone to get maria and she's going to think he's batshit and lock him up in a sanatorium if you scarper again!!?? Stop you feaking mammoth imbecile!! NO!!"
Right now, I know that Remo is a good movie that might not have aged well, but after looking at that clip I will know that it is, and always has been a shit movie and that I used to be an idiot to ever think otherwise.

You were warned, Guy. I told you it was shite in an early post.
I value your opinion but I am hiding from the hard facts surrounding the matter.
Hells, last time I watched Starwars I said: "Good god what bollocks."
Babylon 5 is starting to look naff and the clothes and hair on Ally Mcbeal is absofrackinglutely ridiculous.
Some things, media, are just not Timeless.

Bonanaza is horrible.
However Al from Quatum leap going apeshit when Sam met Loren Green on the set of a towering inferno was almost as Hilarious as Angel on Angel being flabberghasted that none of his crew got the pun intended when they met a green hued singing demon called "Lorn Green": "C'mon people! Bonanza! Anyone? It was on the air for 12 seasons!! Kids today, no respect."
It's not a question of the media being being dated but that I am dating myself (autoincest?). Taking stock of things I have outgrown because they once challenged or amused me at one point which is no longer true because I have graduated beyond such piddling degrees of minor awe and remedial complexity. Not that good is now bad, more so that I mistook bad for good and now know better.
Yes old media is good, unlike something like Dracula 2000 or Galactica 1980 which is trying to wow us with it's contemporariness.

Dracula 2000 should never, ever have happened. Jeri was rockin' it with the fangs, but... good gawd, that was a bad movie.
Sounds like I liked "Manions of America" more than you liked "Dracula 2000", then again it did have the very young and very beautiful Pierce Brosnan in the former. 
Don't get me wrong, Kate looked fabu in it!
But, the dialogue and over dramatics of everyone on the cast was just too much. I really mean it; my friend and I went through 2 bottles of wine and some vodka trying to finish it.
To this day, nearly 10 years later, if we're having a bad day, one of us will look at the other and over dramatically quote the line Kate said over and over again...
"Oh, Rory...!"
