The animated show was awful rubbish (like most cartoon shows these
days), but the live-action show looks even worse. Thankfully it got
cancelled before even airing!

 
Beg to differ: The animated show (first series) was classic.

I've yet to see anything labelled "classic" that wasn't useless
rubbish. Shakespeares works are great exampes of so-called "classics"
that are immensely B-O-R-I-N-G nonsense. "Classic" is usually added by
a know-nothing, arty-farty critic completely out of touch with the real
world.  :-)

You are, of course, correct. "Classics" properly refers to the books
used to study the Greek and Latin from long ago. Those books or
authors can be called "classics" as well.

As to entertainment value, many people find Herodotus quite
interesting. And the comedies of Aristophanes are still quite funny,
as well as being the first works featuring Cloud Cuckoo Land, the
Crazy Professor, and the Pigs in a Poke. Not to mention /Lysistrata/.

But your point is well-taken: semantic goo has indeed destroyed any
actual meaning "classic" once had. As well as that of every other
word.
