That's what is so sad about the situation. The production of scifi from the 80s just doesn't hold up to time, even if it's some of the most legendary ever made. I personally like hard science fiction which is believable, so the less realistic, the less watchable it becomes for me.
Seeing an old show for the first time is also very different to rewatching shows that you originally saw decades ago. I've tried starting a few shows that I never got into when I was young, but just couldn't do it. There are shows from the 90s that I'll definitely rewatch in future though.
If he's talking about sci-fi from the 50s, 60s, or early 70s, yeah then I agree that they don't hold up great, but the sci-fi from after that has been awesome, up until CGI came in and made everything look fake again.
