It could be you are at an age where you are reflecting on the past. It you are seeing re-runs, that in itself can get depressing.
Clothing is out of style, actors/actresses have aged, plots are boring...all kinds of reasons.
Botton line. Don't watch them if they depress you. You are the only one who really knows why they depress you.
Shows like that depress me because I realize how old I am. (I am 30) I was watching the facts of life and diff'rent strokes on on demand the other day and when I realized how old those shows were,and that I remember them NOT from reruns, I felt like crying.
Maybe it's not about your life right now, maybe it has something to do with how you felt while first watching those shows on TV. Maybe you were going through a tough time and the shows further pushed you into a stage of unknown depression, and now that you're seeing those shows again you're feeling those feelings again. I'm not a shrink but I'm trying to look deeper into the issue! :) My advice is to stop watching the stuff that you know won't get you in a good mood. I always watched Gilmore Girls and that show put me in such a great mood! Now that it's not on anymore I'm searching for a replacement :)
Reminds you of when your creepy uncle touched you? Or you have Peter Pan syndrome and wish you never grew up?
