reboot any time soon. The sitcom's premise and humor were of their time (mid-90s to mid-00s), and may not have aged so well.
Either that, or we're all too sensitive these days.

And it was about educating people on how ridiculous people were…And now we're not allowed to do that." I mean, Taika Waititi literally played Hitler in a recent movie, but I take her point.About her own work, specifically, Jennifer Aniston admitted, “There's a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of Friends and find them offensive.” (The show remains popular on streaming services, but yeah, if you go on TikTok you can find people pointing out problematic storylines.) "There were things that were never intentional and others...
well, we should have thought it through—but I don't think there was a sensitivity like there is now."If I may speak freely, I disagree that a “whole generation” can't understand the points Friends was trying to make, but I do think there are issues like gay panic and a lack of diversity and that crop up in many older sitcoms, like Friends, Seinfeld, Scrubs and more.
