Art is subjective. We all don't agree on what is a superlative and what is not. So when it comes to judging acting and thespians it can be difficult.

It's not a sin but it's also not... "Oscarworthy."

As kids, we like the bright blue light, the colors, the physical comedy, and the general silliness of it all.
But revisit those same old television shows as an adult and prepare for some new, shocking discoveries.

Villains are generally supposed to be horrid and reviled by the audience, who usually see them through the eyes of the hero of the story. Not all villains are particularly villainous, however.
Some are fairly relatable from the start, while others grow throughout the story and become more sympathetic over time.
Still others seem more relatable as we get older and learn how the real world works.
