tbf later seasons didnā€™t help that none of the original child actors bothered getting acting lessons so the writers were clearly finding contrived ways to have them on screen for as little time as possible lmao

Ive heard that it was supposed to end in season 1, but then it blew up and the writers got paid big time to write more, so thatā€™s why it turned out how it did

The only piece of television i can think off the top of my head that got better in sequels was Shrek, or at least Shrek 1 ā†’ Shrek 2. I donā€™t remember Shrek 3 and idk if thereā€™s 4. Terminator 2 is also arguably better than 1, or at least itā€™s on par

But these are films. I canā€™t think of TV shows. Maybe an anime or two

ATLA season 2 and 3 are better than first imo cuz first is a lot of world building and stand alone episodes

Things used to excite me a lot more. Im sure part of it was because i was an innocent kid and now im not. I wonder if television is generally declining, and if it is, to what extent does that play part in my lack of enjoyment in television. It could be anywhere from 0% to 99.999% (repeating, of course), where i know at least a tiny part is me being more jaded

probably a lot of things
youre getting older and thus your want for quality is higher
youve seen a lot of things so nothing is really new
youā€™re more sad generally

the first time you see a trope itā€™s visionary, but then it just repeats

that might be why you like older things
cause you get to see the beginning of things youve seen echoed
plus a lot of old media is just good cause thereā€™s a lot more years of work to pick from
