Just hope the cheese isn't an added extra.

It has to be asked, why did some who filled out the mid season survey think this was the worst thread above others?

Is it those of us not taking pingers?

They were.

A lack of forensic science meant you get away with anything you want. People such as yourselves would use that to your advantage to do sickening things.

No, but seriously. You ask anyone who was alive during the 30s or 40s and they won't stop going on about it because they miss it. They think kids these days are too disrespectful, or technology is having too big of an impact on the way we socialise, or whatever. Point is, the more drastic the change in the way we live, the more nostalgic emotions will occur. People always jump to say they were there at the beginning of something, and put down the current version of whatever that thing is.

One example you be able to relate to is The Simpsons. Everyone says the old episodes were better, they were watching when they came out. They say the new ones aren't funny, and the new writers are terrible. But for someone like myself, who wasn't born in 90s, I can see the newer episodes really aren't as terrible as they are perceived.

No matter how bad something may have been, you will always draw nostalgic feelings from it.

The Simpsons has got a lot better in re end years, but it had a real slump in the middle.

The 'the older episodes were better' thing was prevalent in the 90s too. Started in like season four. Fans are fickle nerds. But with hindsight, you can pretty much pinpoint the moment when Mike Scully became showrunner in season nine as the turning point toward mediocrity. And you can pinpoint that moment based purely on how few quotes from then onwards failed to make into the general Internet lexicon.

The case with The Simpsons is more along the lines of not appreciating a good thing when you had it.
