Some, yes. but I think it was far better in the movies.
I'm 58 so I was a big fan of the original when that's all there was. Still, I'm a movies + 24th century fan today. McCoy could be an absolute backward-ass shit in the original series. He was much-improved in the movies IMO.
Some of the episodes age better than others. Off the top of my head, Balance of Terror, The Corbomite Maneuver and City on the Edge of Forever are every bit as good today as they were back then. But then there are so many episodes where McCoy's prejudices are on display or even worse, incredibly antiquated attitudes toward women. One that makes me just cringe is the sight of Don Juan on the shore leave planet dragging off Yeoman Barrows who was not a small woman. All she did was desperately cry for help. Even Deanna Troi would have kicked him in the balls to say nothing of what Yar, Kira or Dax would have done.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
