Monday-ish OT: Yes But No

Ocean's 12 aka George Clooney's European Vacation. It sucked. Both of the others were much more fun.
That's the case with a lot of the shows I grew up watching.
I used to watch Batman (1960s series) every afternoon when I was young. Mrs Velo did as well. We saw an episode last weekend. Her comment was "I knew it was bad, but I didn't realize just how bad it was."
Death Race 2000 (the original).
We both remembered it as being hilarious. We finally found it on DVD. Oh, wow...SO awful!!!

Not for the show itself, but the advertising of it: The Mod Squad. (Okay, the name is bad, too, but I did like the characters. And great action music 
"One white, one black, one blond." Definitely wouldn't fly today.

I still love star wars, but what you say has some points. There's a lot of things in star wars that people forget due to the childhood nostalgia effect. And people often forget these things when critiquing the newer movies (though the prequels were undeniably worse than the OT)
Swap A-Team with Knight Rider. I was shocked to discover that Hasselhoff’s acting has ALWAYS been that bad.
We bought one of those new Super Nintendo things and I went back and started playing the original Mario--really kinda boring.
Knight Rider!!! Somehow I forgot that one....basically unwatchable now. Loved it then.
Dukes of Hazzard - did you ever see that one where some strangers came into town and did some bad stuff because Boss Hogg hired them to, but it somehow got blamed on the Duke boys? Oh, and then some country singer sang at the Boar's Nest while the boys drank some frosty mugs of beer. Then the car jumped. That was cool.
I think you just spoiled every episode of The Dukes of Hazzard with one post. Bravo !!
Reminds me of the A-Team episode where there were 3 car crashes, they manage to get BA on a plane (usually involving drugs), there's an explosion, and somehow the plan comes together.
I kind of felt that way about a star is born. Thought is was good during and right after, but after getting home I realized I was underwhelmed by it
Man you're not kidding. It's like my whole childhood was a lie...
In the last few years I've watched originals of The Incredible Hulk, Dukes of Hazzard, CHiPs, The Six Million Dollar Man, Battlestar Gallactica, Buck Rogers, etc. It's all just GARBAGE writing.
And I made my kids watch The Black Hole recently...woof is right. Sorry kids.
