I re-watched Frasier recently. As with most 90s and adjacent sitcoms, the stuff that holds up least is around changing gender norms. Frasier often comes across as a sex crazed narcissist, who we are supposed to be rooting for. That was the joke at the time too, but sometimes it doesn't age well. Still worth rewatching, however. Another interesting example of 90s sitcoms and evolving gender roles would be Ross from Friends. A modern expectation of how a man should act in a long-term relationship would probably consider him to be emotionally abusive. But I didn't find his conduct all that bad in the 90s. I think a few years ago it was a fad for gen-z to watch Friends, so I think I'm not the only person to note this.
