23. "RE: Thicker Than Water, Act VII (STILL NOT FINALE)"
In response to message #22
 
   Eh. Even if you folks say so, sitcoms haven't been my thing for a very long time. To wit, I think the only ones I ever REALLY enjoyed seeing were the likes of Mork and Mindy and Bewitched.

(Thing is, though, if given the choice between a sitcom and The Muppet Show, no matter how good of a sitcom it was I'd choose The Muppet Show, hands down, each and every time. The characters were all shades of batshit-insane, from the subtle flying-under-the-radar crazy to the in-your-face madcap insanity, and it was glorious.)

It's probably because sitcoms through the '80s, '90s, and even the '00s, tend to abuse the everloving hell out of my two least favorite tropes: Status Quo is God and The Idiot Ball. Both tropes can be fine if they're used properly. But they are easily mishandled as they can be a huge disservice to the characters in the story.

I understand that this is not the case with The Good Place, but even so, a long slew of vapid sitcoms have done their damage.
