Of course they're outdated, they're old.

But that doesn't stop them from still being the best!

To me I prefer outdated shows, I like to look at it as a window to an kinder, simpler, easier time.

To me old does not equate to outdated. Outdated means you no longer can relate to the content of the show. For sitcoms, outdated would mean you don't laugh at what the show intended you to laugh at, or worse yet you DO laugh at things you weren't meant to laugh at (poor production values, lame plotlines, etc.).

I don't watch any outdated shows. The shows I watch are timeless. I Love Lucy, Green Acres, The Honeymooners, etc, etc. There will be occasional jokes that don't work anymore, but such a minuscule minority not to make a difference. They are just as funny and effective today as they were 60+ years ago.
