r/sitcoms

What is the best fake song in a sitcom. There’s quite a few, but off the top of my head I’m saying “Getting Rid of Britta” from Community.

Mine is Will & Grace

Karen Walker is the best

Everyone has that one sitcom they just couldn't stand.

In your opinion, what's the worst TV sitcom ever made, and what made it so bad?

Bonus points if you can name one redeeming quality, if it had one

The old guy was cranky every episode for no reason and Chico wasnt funny. Maybe it was a hit at the time it aired because women were attracted to him

I've seen this format be used by karma farming bots a lot I genuinely want to know

I had a thing for both the Frasier women Jane Leeves and Peri Gilpin

also Elaine from Seinfeld as well as a few others from that show like Brenda Strong (Sue Ellen)

I was recently reading an article about Oscar nominees and big stars who were part of sitcoms before they were nominees. Essentially tv sitcoms that were a hotbed of future talent both in front AND behind the camera.

Take for example, The Mary Tyler Moore Show. They have 2 acting nominees (Mary Tyler Moore and Cloris Leachman) AND two future Screenplay nominees in James L. Brooks and Allan Burns. Then Brooks goes on to create Taxi, which has future nominees Sakai and DeVito for Best Picture, and a future acting nominee in Hirsch. They also had

Another one I found were Happy Days with Ron Howard and Pat Morita as future nominees for Directing and Acting, respectively. They also had writers Mandel and Ganz who were later Oscar nominated for Splash.

My question to y'all is, what other shows can you think of like this? What shows that have already come out could you see having multiple nominees in the future?

I recently tried rewatching Seinfeld because my SO likes it a lot, personally I can't stand it (Jerry is annoying, the writing in some episodes is so repetitive they use the word funny a million times, etc.). I am not a fan of all of Tim's shenanigans with Tool Time and blowing things up but I think his scenes with Jill and his kids are great, I like it as a family sitcom a lot. KOQ is definitely a show I can rewatch or put on in the background, it's pretty funny, good interaction among cast etc.

What are your thoughts on Married... With Children?

my own answer is Gloria Maria Delgado-Pritchett

EDIT: these suggestions are awesome, I'm so watching some of these shows this summer!!!!

I’ve recently started watching The King of Queens and I’m really enjoying it. I've been on this earth for 32 years and I can't believe I'm only just now discovering it! Are there any other fans of the show out there?
I love the chemistry between Kevin James and Leah Remini, and Victor Williams is also a great addition to the cast. Not to mention Jerry Stiller, who is absolutely brilliant.
