Why is 90s TV so comfy bros?
>>216920293I think it was because there was less politics and the ideas of the tv series were more simple. I know it's from the 80s but it's the same. Look at The A-Team, Knight Rider, McGiver, Baywatch, Family Matters... Alf and many others. Simple ideas and less politics. Now it's Game of Thrones, let's have massacres and edgy things wooooww so edgy, Stranger Things the children with powers fight the monstersssss, Breaking Bad the cool teacher because a feared drug lord... Take The Big Bang Theory and compare it to Friends for example. Freinds is just a group of regular people just living normal lives and TBBT jokes are about science and complicated jokes that not everyone would get.Simpler ideas and less politics. That's what comes to my mind now to answer your question.
>>216920293Its a time white zoomers will never live. A country that loved them and killed or deported the minorities that threatened our way of life. Now the jews have won and you have those minorities on your TVs, music, everywhere you you go

>>216920293ALF : Season 1: September 22, 1986 to May 11, 1987Season 4: September 18, 1989 to March 24, 1990really, only half of season four aired in 1990. Alf truly his his peak in 1989. Given that he had the sitcom and two different cartoon series on the air.
>>216920293They were trash, the youtube/tiktok disposable entertainment of their day. There's a reason nobody revisits them except in their memories.

Third Rock from the Sun was the Alf of the 1990's.
>>216920293I was watching some Alf recently and it was funnier than I remembered it.Also there was an animated show as well, even that was funny for a kids show. Most of the jokes would have gone over my head.
>>216921378>Also there was an animated show as well, even that was funny for a kids show. Most of the jokes would have gone over my head.There was two animated shows. Alf, and Alf Tales. Alf is about Alf writing his memoirs and telling stories about his life on Planet Melmac. Alf Tales was pretty nonsensical cartoon featuring Alf in different fair tale settings.
>>216921439Huh it was Alf Tales I saw, I'll check out the other one
>>216920706Actually 80s sitcoms were very political. They were full 50s nostalgia which in turn was anti-communist propaganda. Never heard of the conservative wave?
>>216921063the shows have nothing in common
>>216920759Even on /tv/ there's wumao caping for CCP, when they freeze bank accounts for protesting the govt -- exactly what was done to protesters in the US now (you know which ones.) Ppl don't care how much they're propagandized in almost everything, only the actors they don't like. Everything else they eat up. Stand for nothing except the assigned values, lose everything over time.
>>216920293Ratings were how they got advertising or they got cancelled. Appealing to viewers was important.

>>216920293Reminder that Alf was a CIA psyop to make you be ok with ilegal immigrants, literally

>>216920293ALF is 80s, bro. Reagan & Bush era TV is distraction-core. It is comfortably crap by design. Mainstream doesn't go gritty realistic until the Clinton era and lore creep doesn't start until Lost which is proto-bingeslop.
>>216925326ALF was only broadcast to Ireland, Australia and Eastern Europe from the early 90's on.It didn't matter being years behind without spoilers
>>216925273Reminder that Reagan is Trump's hero
>>216920928>Given that he had the sitcom and two different cartoon series on the air.I didn't know there were 2. The one I remember had a very strange artistic style, kind of simple with very bright colors, came on Saturday mornings
Alf's creator and showrunner was an autistic retard who wanted everyone to legitimately believe Alf was a real alien so they made all these convoluted, expensive sets that ruined the production.
>>216920706Politics inundated media it’s just the scales weren’t tipping as noticeably at the time so there was less friction. I was a kid in the 80’s and looking back, there were definitely ideas being pushed in the media. Truth is that culture is always in flux. It’s like the tide. It’s always going out or coming in. Culture is always shifting. People dont tend to think in these terms and the more upheaval there is, the more extreme positions people tend to take. Identifying patterns has been a key survival technique but it doesn’t always serve us. If every pattern was true it would be prudent to give up success after failing a few times. People tend to react poorly to this approach and guaranteed replies adhering to extreme viewpoints will evidence this. Media is a reflection of the current climate. Look at >>216920759, >>216925273, >>216922907, >>216925326What would these anons do without their token boogeymen? Of course these anons are correct to a certain extent and there are people pulling the strings behind the curtain, but not the extent these anons believe. To think otherwise though would be a perceived loss of control in tempestuous times. Just living life is mistaken for apathy because the idea that we ultimately can’t control the world is a terrifying proposition. Of course now I’m identified as an enemy because I’m either with them or against them. Short answer though is that yes, 80’s media was far more comfy.
>>216920293Love/hate between the midget + Max Wright raised to a POP artform. The midget had a hard life defecting from eastern bloc. Max Wright had gay sex in the crack house. 2 damaged people wanted to kill each other as the backdrop made their tension KINO.
>>2169209281990 is still part of the 80s, both culturally and mathematically/calendar wise.
