## Summary

Collider lists seven overlooked 1980s sitcoms it argues have not aged well, chiefly because their humour relies on stereotypes, sexism, body-shaming or other material now likely to draw stronger criticism.

- Married... with Children (1987–1997): cited for deliberately provocative jokes about women, sexual harassment and weight, including the anti-women NO MA’AM group.
- Charles in Charge (1984–1990): included as a forgotten sitcom whose premise centres on a male live-in nanny and housekeeper.
