What are some shows that were popular and part of the public zeitgeist at the zenith that nobody even remembers existed now? Pic related, this shit feels like a fever dream.
their zenith* whoops
>>221867269The L Word (considering it was an explicitly LGBT-themed show in the 2000s, it faded from the public consciousness surprisingly fast), Heroes and Ally McBeal
>>221867515It seems like for whatever reason very, very few shows from the 2000s are still in the public conscious. Much above average outliers like The Sopranos and The Wire exist but in general nobody gives a shit about these shows or stuff like The Practice, Boston Legal etc
Cold Case; it was big in the 00s but now it's completely forgotten and it doesn't even have a rewatch podcast
>>221867269No one really paid attention to it then either. Its core gimmick was “pushing the boundaries of what can be shown on cable.” This becomes meaningless when even basic cable channels can show whatever they want, as the FCC only regulates air broadcast content. The only question becomes who wants to buy the adspace or do they just want to not make money off it at all. >>221867515The only thing that did was create the term “lipstick lesbian,” establish its exclusively a straight male fantasy and have lesbians proceed to invent shit like genderfluid and other bullshit so they could have their own special labels for not being feminine.
>>221867692>No one really paid attention to it then either. I don't think so, for a show on FX especially at the time a lot of people had at least heard of it, caught an episode or scene here and there etc.
>>221867269i feel like this covers all the FX shows, theyre good but theyre not mainstream even when they have hype
>>221869023>theyre good but theyre not mainstream even when they have hypeJustified and The Shield have staying power. People still remember them. Justified even got a sequel special a year or two ago.
the 2010s was a good decade for tv so it outshone nearly everything from the 2000s
>Heroes>Prison Break>Six Feet Under
