Game of thrones feels like it ended years ago.

There's a genre of shows that die out culturally because they either have a really bad season, or have gone on too long and have flamed out with a majority of fans.
How I Met Your Mother died an absolute death due to its final season, and nobody ever talks about it anymore due to that
Two and a Half Men suffered the same sort of treatment when Sheen got replaced and the boy eventually officially left
LOST had an ending many people were extremely critical of and nobody talks about it anymore
The Sopranos to a lesser extent than LOST also kinda got hampered by the ending.
Hell Grey's Anatomy is still on, but they've screwed with the series so much and gotten rid of so many important characters the only time I ever see it relevant again is when they've f***ed something up and people saying they're done with the show... American Horror Story is another one in that department
Walking Dead was getting there but Angela Kang taking over the show has helped it regain relavancy and fandom with the Whisperer Arc. Fear the Walking Dead though? That was a travesty.
One last one, I never got the appeal of Bing Bang Theory and when it ended I never saw a show fizzle out harder when it came to people giving a shit about it. If it wasn't for Young Sheldon I think I would have forgotten about it completely by now.

Add in Malcolm in the Middle. Absolutely huge in the early 2000s, but started fizzling out in the later seasons, and the downer ending of the finale kind of killed off the appeal.

That was only hurt all the more when Frankie Muniez revealed that due to a severe brain injury he suffered in I believe a race crash, he doesn't remember filming any of Malcolm in the Middle anymore.

It's still around, but whenever I hear about Simpsons, its usually either a reference to a classic episode from 20+ years ago, or "I can't believe they're still making that."
For something that was huge for my parent's generation, I never hear anyone talking or writing about it much anymore.
The Hunger Games movies seemed pretty big for a while, but I never see that series ever brought up.

Dharma and Greg (granted, it was like the Nickelback or Creed of sitcoms...so this makes sense) Came here to say this. I never watched it and I don't think I know anyone who did, but while it was on for some reason it was omnipresent.

Glee. It seemed really big for a while then suddenly it was nothing. Is this not because one of them overdosed and another was a paedophile? The other ones in this thread are less explicable.

Glee. It seemed really big for a while then suddenly it was nothing. It's probably not helped by having one dead main actor, and another main actor turned out to be a pedophile.

I'd,say thats still culturally relevant. I sometimes come cross references, and the Hal jokes and memes during Breaking Bad.

My Name Is Earl seemed to be on E4 in the U.K. all the time in the late 00’s early 10’s then seemed to disappear overnight.

Braveheart and Independence Day both seemed like the biggest movies ever when they came out.
Now Braveheart is usually only mentioned because of historical inaccuracies or Mel Gibson being nuts. It finally got a quasi sequel but you probably just found out about that by reading this sentence.
Independence Day has been parodied a little usually with the scene where the spaceship blows up the White House. But that’s about it. The way too late sequel did pretty unspectacularly when it was released.

Some of those detective series from the 1930s have fallen by the wayside but I would not say The Thin Man is one of them. If anything I'd say that series is one of the most revived older series of movies. The DVDs still move pretty well on Amazon and TCM shows Thin Man out the wazoo.

I dunno, Braveheart will get referenced, even just someone shouting "FREEDOM" in a bad Scottish accent, and Independence Day, that is referencing it. It's less, but there are iconic bits.

I don’t know maybe just little flashes of it count, but it’s surprising given how huge and heavily hyped these two were. Some people I’ve talked to less than 10 years younger than me have no idea what these films are. As for Independence Day I felt compelled to throw that reference in as it seems like I’ve seen it more than a few times, but can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a show or movie parody it. The last one to come to mind was a Futurama episode but that was probably 15+ years ago.

I know there’s still a Scott Pilgrim fandom, but there was a period where it was THE non-Big Two independent comic. Before the movie premiered no less, people couldn’t stop talking about it.

Basic Instinct. You saw all kinds of parodies of the interrogation scene at least up into 2005 (the WM21 promo with Stacy Kiebler), but now it seems like it's been forgotten by everyone (the 2006 sequel didnt help matters).

Braveheart still gets referenced a lot, especially if you're a Scottish pro athlete.

It seemed really big for a while then suddenly it was nothing. It's probably not helped by having one dead main actor, and another main actor turned out to be a pedophile. The paedo cast member wasn't exposed until 2015 when Glee was nearly over so I don't think it made that much impact on the show, at least as it was going on. But yeah, I suppose the actor who died of a drug overdose hurt things. I just checked out Glee's ratings history and even though there was a little decline before he died, the ratings really fell off a cliff after he died.
