Also why I'd it that so many sitcoms decide to just have everyone be abusive dick wads? It's infuriating to watch and I miss the more wholesome sitcoms
People love when their dysfunctional family is on a tv screen and then they feel like they’ve done nothing wrong
Meanwhile I can't watch any of that shit because holy shit every character is so unbelievably hateful to each other and it's not even in a fun well written way
would you care to point out which ones didn't feature abusive dickwads?
like that's kind of a thing that goes back a long ways.
Charles in Charge?
When you say "more wholesome sitcom" i hear "more shitty sitcom", like Growing Pains. which specific sitcoms are you referring to?
I know it's animated, but Bob's Burgers is a great example of a current "wholesome sitcom" that's really good.
