I still like modern shows but I wonder if it is the subject matter that puts older audiences off - I mean MOM has a lot of raunchy language as it is from, I believe, the same writers as Two and Half Men. Yet I greatly prefer MOM.
At first I thought it would be an age thing but Mom and my grandmother would watch movies like Dawn of the Dead and The Thing and Pulp Fiction and A Clockwork Orange while my father would get up and go into the other room and read a book.
I just watched a new TV Series called The Boys and I thought to myself - this is Breaking Bad with superheroes. It was a hoot and then I thought about the dialog, special effects, production values - compare to what was on when I was a kid it's incomparably superior.
The best shows hold up if the characters hold up - are they well drawn and do we care about them? Louis De Palma to me is one of the greatest characters ever put on screen.
Here is Marilu Henner on Louis DePalma and I concur - interestingly Marilu has Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory which is why she can recount everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPgm7gLCYSU
Danny DeVito noted that the creators and writers of Taxi came from MTM here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV3gcxeJMHo
And this is one of my favorite Danny DeVoito scenes - he is conveying a huge array of emotion, lines, physical comedy, stillness, drama.
