i dont think the internet really affected my view of the show (if i understand your point). id argue the internet is a better conduit for potential classic episodes/lines to flow cuz communication is easier, and even in that context blackish dont really have either (memes included).
i think it speaks to the timelessness of some of those older shows that the same episodes/lines are still in the consciousness when the internet wasnt around.

definitely for the culture, necessary, and entertaining. i enjoyed the show so no argument there. still, ill acknowledge pantheon status but i dont think its on the same level as the shows mentioned. time will tell i suppose.
