[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 438983, member: 5079"] I have a feeling Gen Z would enjoy these mild family shows. In various reddit groups I belong to, younger fans seem to really dislike any characters that have, well, personality. In the I LOVE LUCY group, younger fans complain about [I]everything[/I]. Lucy is too conniving, Ricky is too hot tempered, Fred is too miserly, little Ricky is too fussy, Cousin Ernie is a freeloader, Caroline is two faced, etc. (They all love Ethel though.) The traits that make the characters funny are considered "cringe". The same holds true in dramas, where characters who are dramatic are disliked. It seems like they want pleasant, happy shows where the characters are all pleasant and happy. [/QUOTE]
