What if they saw Frasier and said "I loved Frasier so much, it made me want to become a therapist" but then followed it up with

"Because his and Niles stubbornness and idiosyncrasies drove me crazy and I wanted to be nothing like them and be a good psychiatrist."

 

Underrated show that I enjoyed and only ended up watching because it was on TBS from like 3-6 pm everyday when I was in 8th or 9th grade so I watched it right after school was Yes Dear.

Also enjoy Mike & Molly. Ironically enough I tend to get more enjoyment out of all the secondary characters than Mike & Molly themselves.

 

I'll be honest I don't think I have watched a new multi-cam laugh track sitcom since HIMYM.

 

Actually I lie, I watched the first two episodes of That 90's Show and then bailed because it sucked.

 

A lot of TV sitcoms from the last 10 years are better than that. That was Disney Channel bad.

 

I used to wonder why so many really good actors are now doing kind of dated broadcast multi-cam laugh track sitcoms that most people have never heard of. Then I just realized it is one of the only reliable ways actors can make real money on TV anymore.

 

I think it's cool watching a CBS sitcom and Wallace Shawn or Eric Andre shows up and it's like how did you get here get that money

 

I'm on the final season of my first watch of that and feel like it will totally go into the multiple re-watch category for me after that.

I rewatch the first few season of Gilmore often, but almost always peter off by the last few.

I'm working my way through DS9 and haven't seen much of Voyager yet, but I imagine I'll agree.

 

I saw one episode of this, and one episode of how I met your father, and they’re both probably the two worst episodes of tv I’ve ever seen

 

That 90s Show was absolutely terrible but I watched it all anyways just to be in that universe again with some old characters.

It was like if Disney Channel tried to make an adult sitcom.

 

Seinfeld will be hard to ever top as the greatest sitcom. It's also the only one I can think of that was just pure comedy, never tried to have any heart or meaning to any episode or story, no dramatic elements, just funny

 

It's always sunny?

 

It's like Seinfeld

But good

 

if you like it's always sunny but not Seinfeld you don't make sense

 

I've never made sense

 

Seinfeld from seasons 3-7 is rivaled by very few other shows. Almost every episode is firing on all cylinders, and the way these seemingly unconnected plotlines converge is so impressive.

 

It's Always Sunny is nowhere near as good.

 

You're right, it's better.

 

Seinfeld also is nowhere near as bad at times.

 

I forgot about Always Sunny, but I also stopped watching after like the 5th season because the humor just became them yelling and not much else. I've heard it got better though

 

Which is exactly the opposite of what I want haha

 

I think comedy can be elevated by being grounded in some sort of emotional reality

 

Always Sunny is Seinfeld with the mean spiritedness cranked up about 5 times lol

Both great

 

This is what caused me to stop following it too. Having the badness of them cranked up so high just made them too cartoonish, and it started to feel very repetitive. Part of the greatness of Seinfeld was that they were bad people but in very petty, relatable ways. Kramer was the only truly absurd one

 

It's Always Sunny was great for six seasons, had an awful 7th, and from there on out have had decent seasons that are like ~50% Family Guy humor
