STAC Goat posted:I'm still very much enjoying it, its just that a good sitcom for me is just not something I'm gonna talk a lot about. I watched Brooklyn 99, AP Bio, Superstore, and What We Do In The Shadows last night and it was a fun hour and a half but then it was over. But that's all I really want from sitcoms. To make me laugh and amuse me in the moment. Brooklyn 99, AP Bio, and Superstore are all really solid. I don't understand why NBC is the only network channel that seems to be able to consistently produce good to great sitcoms.

Imagining some bland as hell cookie cutter sorority girl ragging on terry crews looks is really really funny to me.

pwn posted:For real. You can spot a CBS sitcom (Chuck Lorre-esque drivel) or an ABC sitcom (inoffensive pap aiming for a rating of TV-Prenatal) by type, but the overarching theme for NBC comedy seems to be, “Is Actually Funny.” I named three NBC sitcoms. It turns out that by watching sports on CBS and ABC....I get a healthy dose of commercials where they tend to stick some of their more appealing material. Doesn't take 30 seconds of horrible "jokes" along with a corny assdog laugh track to know what kind of shows they're airing.

Its like each Network has their own guy. Like NBC is "hey Michael Schur we need a new sitcom". Fox has Seth MacFarlane, CBS has Chuck Lorre, and ABC has Jonathan Groff.

I mean....Modern Family isn't bad.....but I've probably seen no more than ten to fifteen episodes. ABC also had Happy Endings which was pretty drat good before they decided to cancel it for no particular reason. Mostly everything they put out is just bland as all hell. And everything on CBS makes me cringe. Thank god for cable.

pwn posted:To be fair, American television comedies have a long and storied tradition of adoring the drama of babies being born, and abhorring having to deal with them after they’ve arrived. Except when they have to get into an Ivy League preschool or their WHOLE LIFE WILL BE RUINED. Writers seem to really like that plot these last few years.

I had no idea why jake got mad because the whole food poisoning thing was such an obvious lie I didn't actually realize he believed it. I really hope this is the last we see of gina.

Pretty lackluster episode, but I'll let it slide because last week's was one of my favorites yet. Gotta agree, hope Gina doesn't come back for a while. At least the B and C plots were pretty goofy. Rosa being violently stubborn always gets a laugh out of me.

Schools like that generally have ways of getting scholarships/earning your way through. They know kids like that generally have parents that can't afford it unless they do.

Oh...no question. There's a reason why B99 is a weekly watch for me and Modern Family has been a spotty show that I've seen less than 20 episodes of (despite being on the air for about a decade). I just mentioned that as far as non-NBC sitcoms go....Modern Family is pretty well done. And like I also said.....ABC hosed up when they canceled Happy Endings. Watch it if you can find the episodes. It was really good. Got about three seasons before the station got a new president and went back to laugh track garbage.
