Honestly, it didn't age well at all.
Really? Dang, that's a bummer. I haven't rewatched it since it originally aired but at the time I thought it was superb.
I think mostly it did but there are definitely things in it that we don't, and shouldn't, do any more. But I'm an old dude and I've seen a lot of mostly good change over time. Scrubs is just at one of the mileposts, and some of the boundaries it pushed helped us get here.
How so? I remember really liking the older seasons
Sexism, homophobia, transphobia all very present and in no way addressed. It was very much a child of the times. Crazy how far we've come in such a short time.
You can write jokes about those topics without being those things you know? Sometimes the transphobic writing points out the absurdity of holding such a position.
Exactly. Most good comedy uses that at least occasionally. Look at Always Sunny!
For them to not age well because of sexism/etc, it would have to not be comedically poking those topics.
Oh my god... Shut all the way up.
