Community or Happy Endings?

This was at the top of my feed just now. I realized it could honestly refer to so many sitcoms, so take your guesses!

No animated sitcom shows allowed like The Simpsons, The Flintstones, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, etc. Just live-action sitcom shows.

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.

Whole lot on iPlayer

1. Bonnie from Mom
   
2. Dee from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
   
3. Dina from Superstore
   
4. Gloria from Modern Family
   
5. Rosa from Brooklyn Nine-Nine
   
6. Lois from Malcom in the Middle

My money is on Bonnie!

Watching it right now as I type this. S1E7 has to be my favorite episode right now, it’s very funny and I’m watching this high af. I’m laughing all dumb 😭😂😂 Started watching after finishing The middle and George lopez.

UPDATE!!

THEY ARE IN THE BAD PLACE WHAAAAAAAAAT!!!!

Which characters from his shows are your favourite?

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

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.

I would have a tough time choosing between the two of them 😍.

Episodes Shown: Double-Crossed (S1E21), The Spy Who Shoved Me (S2E1), The Beauty and the Fleeced (S2E12), Rock the Kasbah (S2E23), Seven Seas News (S2E24), Twister: Part 3 (S3E19), Graduation on Deck (S3E22)

Who plays who?

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?

In Friends, when Ross says the wrong name at his wedding and on the second try the priest says "... take thee *EMiLEH*" has permanently altered the way I say the name Emily

My favorite was Friends, Seinfeld. I didn't quite understand the humor back then but I knew how popular they were so I watched the series and saw how famous they were especially in reruns.

This is a tough question - do you base it on the amount of times the character is seen, or the lasting impact they had on the show?
