Ah, the young and naive and the old and callous. They should do a sitcom together.

I thought the first two seasons were funny, when Sheldon's Asperger quirkiness was pretty amusing. But now that show has run its course, they got nowhere to go with it. Sheldon and Amy say nothing but stupid long-winded sitcom punchlines that definitely need a laugh track.

Didn't watch much Roseanne back when it was first shown. Watched the first two seasons recently, and I loved it.
What kills me about Jackie: She's well written, and as a little sister to a control freak like Roseanne they don't have to do much to get my sympathy. And then Metcalf does those Jim Carrey style funny faces and I remember that I'm watching a sitcom.

So that makes him a hipster elitist because he's not a Jerry Springer fan? Count me as one of them too because I watched that Springer element go from fringe to prime-time mainstream over the past 15 years and there's no escaping it. The in-your-face booger-eating shock value that at one time you only saw in the mentally-challenged kid in your school.

And now this instant powdered fame has become a bankable commodity, if you're a pretty girl who eats her own earwax or admits to liking the smell of farts you can become a star. Or you don't mind pranking your mother on-camera by telling her that you're pregnant with your high-school art teacher's baby, just to "push the envelope" of reality TV.

Like the guy in the movie my workplace is full of college grads who were weaned on this crap, it's all they know. They talk like they think they are some sitcom sidekick, spitting out this stream of snarky, hip, pop-culture references and this week's memes and reality show updates. With a smug grin because the studio audience in their head is cheering them on.

So you can have it. Call it a hipster pose but I am too good for this crap. I don't care if there are 32 million of them, this crap is for morons and it will only get worse.

So you're including yourself in that group, yes?
Or are you too hipster for that? "I was counter-culture before counter-culture was a culture."

I hope we all understand that you can nod your head along to the sentiments in this video and still be a part of the problem.

The bit turns completely unbelievable when tiny's friend pulls a stupid face into the camera whilst remaining silent....Talk about your writers that needed a bit o cocaine!?? BaaaaaaaD!


Yea no it turns itself unbelievable when you turn your fuckin tv on and watch a "reality sitcom"

i like how they increased the frame rate to give it that sitcom camera look.

Greatest sitcom ever

Wow, I didn't recognize him! I watched that sitcom a lot as a kid/callow.

As the French might say, très fromage! Wow. I can't believe people think this show is the best sitcom of all time. The list of movies, music, and television created in the 80s that is of a lasting value is incredibly short.

I never got into Frasier. Frasier Crane was my favorite character on Cheers and the Frasier on Frasier was not the Frasier on Cheers.

As a fan of both Cheers and Frasier, I'm going to need you to elaborate on that one.

Sure. Cheers was very much a comedy of the classes; Frasier and Lilith typifying the upper class, white collar intellectuals. With Fraiser (the show), they got rid of the class element and focused more on the family dynamic between him, his brother, the father and the other characters. On Cheers, Fraiser was more akin to Il Dottore; professional, collected, pompous, arrogant at times...only Lilith was able to put him in his place. On Fraiser, because he was now the central character, he played foil to the rest of the supporting cast. While Grammar is still playing the same character, it's not the same Frasier (to me at least).


I'd say that Martin and Roz, to a lesser extent, were the foils to Frasier and Niles. Was Frasier the exact same character he was on Cheers? No, he evolved, which is fairly typical of most sitcoms -- just look at Homer Simpsons in the early seasons of The Simpsons, or Michael Scott in The Office. I'm not sure if you gave Frasier more than a few episodes, but I really think you should give it a chance -- it's (IMO) one of the rare spin-offs that's just as good as the show that spawned it (save for the last couple of seasons).

supposing you thought the idea that black people always voting for obama was the funniest thing ever, this crappy little sitcom might be humorous.
but it's not
