They were in their mid 30s?


They look 50ish. Or is it just me?

People aged worse back then.

Ted Danson born 1947 - 35 in 1982
George Wendt born 1948 - 34 in 1982
Shelly Long born 1949 - 33 in 1982

Wardrobe probably plays a part, Boston is not L.A. in terms of fashion sense, making the characters seem older.

I wonder if it's due to people not taking as much care of themselves with regards to diet and facial care.

THAT IS DEFINITELY A PART OF IT.

Maybe they look older to OP because of their hair styles.

The characters were adults, not trying to be eternal teenagers like so many today.
