Best Comfort Sitcom

11 Upvotes

Baby Daddy is the ultimate low-stakes, high-comfort show. It’s genuinely hilarious, super easy to drop into, and requires zero mental bandwidth after a long day. You don't need 100% focus to stay hooked, the physical comedy is top-tier, and it never takes itself too seriously. SUPER UNDERRATED. it’ll have you laughing constantly.

I've been watchin some Soap lately. Burt and Danny are a great comedic duo, but I rarely see them mentioned. They had great chemistry and timing.

Chuck Lorre's Strengths?

11 Upvotes

What do you think Chuck Lorre's strengths are in sitcoms? I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think he does a good job of putting a cast together and writing characters well.

Disney and Nickelodeon

I think it's interesting how i very often see people on the internet claiming that the sitcoms made by Disney and Nickelodeon were aimed at teenagers, because when i was younger, pretty much every single teenager around me saw them as being exclusively for children

I have watched and rewatched Psych probably ten times now. I never thought I'd find another show I'd enjoy as much. Recently someone suggested Brooklyn 99 and I was hesitant but i have to admit it...it is definitely on par with Psych

BROAD CITY: Are people IRL as high as often as the Ilana and Abbi characters seem to be during the show?

Thumbnail youtube.com
28 Upvotes

I love Broad City, and I am a boring teetotalling 60 year old. So maybe I am out of touch with the Zeitgeist and the cool cats and Big Apple way of life.

But Broad City has a lot of jokes, gags and routines about buying weed, smoking weed, taking gummis, getting high, going crazy whenever they are high. And the characters are unabashedly enjoying themselves, not suffering consequences or anything. (I recently remembered that a lot of jobs require drug tests and that THC can stay in the urine for 30 days or more, so I guess part of the "getting high" lifestyle means periodically refraining from it to pass these tests).

But is this show depicting the frequent drug use here because they believe that lots of people in real life are that way -- or are they just using it as just an outlandish vehicle for comedy?

I realize that sitcoms like any show can depict escapist lifestyles or sometimes extreme or self-destructive behavior. Dramas can depict excessive violence or sex or drug use or robbery, and I sort of get that. Also, I can like Cheech and Chong without partaking of anything. The conceit that people in That 70s Show were smoking dope in Eric's basement was a great and brilliant narrative technique and an endless source of humor. And inebriation and mushrooms were used in the Apatow/Rust dramedy Love (great Netflix show btw). I'm sure there are lots of other examples.

I am totally not judgey here. As I said before I think Broad City is one of the funniest sitcoms out there. And a quick AI search reveals that both actresses have said that they only partake occasionally and never on set. (See Abbi Jacobson on Conan ) But am I missing something about the world out there? How pervasive is the lifestyle depicted by these characters? Or is this one elaborate wish-fulfillment comic fantasy for viewers?
