    This more than most sitcoms is just abusive relationships with a laugh track. Glad it’s not getting rebooted

      Also why I’d it that so many sitcoms decide to just have everyone be abusive dick wads? It’s infuriating to watch and I miss the more wholesome sitcoms

        People love when their dysfunctional family is on a tv screen and then they feel like they’ve done nothing wrong

          Meanwhile I can’t watch any of that shit because holy shit every character is so unbelievably hateful to each other and it’s not even in a fun well written way

        would you care to point out which ones didn’t feature abusive dickwads?

        like that’s kind of a thing that goes back a long ways.

        When you say “more wholesome sitcom” i hear “more shitty sitcom”, like Growing Pains. which specific sitcoms are you referring to?

          I know it’s animated, but Bob’s Burgers is a great example of a current “wholesome sitcom” that’s really good.

        Most shows need a character to bully for some reason. I guess everyone in Hollywood just chooses someone in their life to verbally abuse and they think everyone else does that too?

      “Kevin can f*** himself” is literally about that very thing. It’s not amazing and does a weird thing where it bounces between sitcom mode and…I guess thriller mode, which doesn’t always work but I appreciated the way it dealt with the sitcom bullshit of abusive relationships.
