The past twenty years, really just THE BIG BANG THEORY and SOUTH PARK is all that comes to mind.
I’m not as much a TV show guy as I am a classic comedy guy these days, but there are definitely shows I enjoy a lot. Seinfeld, Fraiser, The Jeffersons, early Simpsons, Married With Children (a show which would not survive today’s P.C. mob), Fresh Prince of Bel Air....I enjoy all these shows. Never been much a stand up comedy guy with few exceptions.
As far as modern movies - eh. I found out something interesting. At age 38 (three years ago) I figured out I’m high functioning autistic after doing research and got the diagnosis to confirm. Modern movies tend to have hyper fast paced editing, loud music randomly playing everywhere and just have too much sensory stuff going on. Older movies are more my pace neurologically. I didn’t discover older movies on a deep level until my early twenties and before that there were individual movies I liked, but I wasn’t really a movie guy. So yeah, it really is neurological with me and old movies. I am slowly digging more modern horror stuff, though.
OK, to answer the heavy metal question, as loud as that music is, they play tight and in time, so sensory wise, the music is very organized.
