Personally, I enjoy it when academics analyze an older show. The criticisms don't necessarily reflect poorly upon the people who made the content, but rather are observed as a means of sparking a debate amongst readers. I think to understand the content being created today, we need to analyze older content through a contemporary lens. I will not always agree with the analysis, but will occasionally find some interesting perspectives. Additionally, I take the publisher's gesture as a badge of honor for the series, being that something created over 50 years ago today is still being watched enough to warrant a deep dive analysis!
