Remember 'That '70s Show'? Yeah, the one that had us laughing at the antics of a group of friends hanging out in a basement in the '70s. But hey, have you ever stopped to think about the not-so-cool aspects of the show that are hard to ignore now?
Imagine this – a bunch of actors, claiming to be teenagers, but looking way older, chilling in a basement, smoking up and cracking jokes in the '70s. One character, Leo, in a relationship with these supposed teens? Yeah, kind of raises a few eyebrows today, doesn't it? And let's not forget the cringeworthy laugh track, offensive jokes, lack of diversity, and the fact that these teenagers seemed to have zero adult supervision.
And then there's Danny Masterson's sexual assault conviction that just adds to the show's tarnished reputation. With societal values evolving, 'That '70s Show' is now getting under the microscope for its problematic content that we somehow overlooked back in the day. It's like rewatching it now gives us a whole different perspective, making us question what we found funny before. So yeah, times change, and so do our views on what's considered acceptable on our screens.
