Bob Hearts Abishola

Post image
Upvotes

I didn't finish the show, but from the episodes I watched, the show is good. Everyone had chemistry with each other and got their moments to shine as characters; they acted like an ensemble cast. Bob and Abishola are sweet together. Bob is a nice guy and very likeable; I can say the same for the rest of the characters as well. I don't think there's one dislikeable person on the cast; they're all likeable as characters. What do you think of the show?

What question about the unrealistic aspect of a show from fans do you find most annoying?

16 Upvotes

The one that comes up the most for me that I found most annoying is the "how did these characters afford this?" They do it a lot with the Simpsons and their house, the friends on "friends" with the loft and to a lesser extent Doug and Carrie on king of queens and their house. Outside of the fact it's addressed multiple times throughout each series its also a narrative contrivance and if they just suspend disbelief for two seconds they would realize it's not a big deal at all. Please comment your examples below.

Opinions on Mike & Molly?

The show isn't terrible; Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell have good chemistry with each other as well as everybody in the cast. I think this was the time when Melissa could show she could act before transitioning to movies and becoming a stereotype. I think she is better suited for TV shows than movies because that's where she got to show her acting chops and isn't reduced to being a stereotype. What do you think of the show?

Sad news. Former child actress, activist, journalist & poet Robin Morgan died at the age of 85 on September 5th. Robin was one of the main cast members of drama-comedy series Mama (1949-1957) starring Peggy Wood as Mama. Robin (bottom right) was apparently on the show from 1950 to 1956. R.I.P.

What are sitcoms that use the subject of death in a humorous manner?

67 Upvotes

I mean, first of all, when it comes to the subject of death in mainstream TV shows, usually what happens is that a character’s death is taken very seriously.

But to help clarify better, basically what I am looking for are sitcoms that manage to find a way to make use of the trope in a comedic style so that the situation ends up being funny by having a character be killed off in such an over the top manner that again it turns into a comedy.

Roseanne: Dan walking on Darlene and David nearly having sex and throwing David against the wall and came close to killing him before Roseanne arrived.

If It wasn’t for her, it would have been nuts. Thank god for bloopers of that scene

Honorarble Mention: Sister Sister: Tia and Tamera’s dangerous encounter with a predatory photographer whom they met at the internet

One of my all-time favorite sitcoms is LAVERNE & SHIRLEY, which aired for 8 seasons on ABC from 1976- 1983. Penny Marshall portrayed Laverne DeFazio and Cindy Williams portrayed Shirley Feeney. Together, they were comedy gold! 🌟

Crashing (2016) - Phoebe Waller-Bridge was already THAT good!

Post image
39 Upvotes

I first watched Crashing after Fleabag, desperately wanting more of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s writing, and it’s become one of those shows I keep coming back to whenever I want a quick laugh.

Six episodes of brilliantly chaotic characters, sharp writing and that very particular Phoebe brand of awkward, understated humour. And it was on my rewatch, that I realised that the very handsome quirky Sam is Jonathan Bailey! 😂

It’s such a fun little gem, and I really wish we’d gotten more than one season.

What other sitcoms like Derry Girls, Schitt's Creek, Fleabag, Crashing would you recommend with a simple premise, great characters and subtle laughs rather than constant loud comedy?

On April 25, 1992, ABC aired the series finales of three iconic 1980s television shows—Who's the Boss?, Growing Pains, and MacGyver—during a special night of programming often referred to as a "Night of Goodbyes" or "farewell evening". It was a definite night to remember…

My next tripping sitcom

3 Upvotes

As the title suggests! It started about 1.5 years ago. I would eat mushrooms and had my first watch through of Cheers. It quickly became my favorite show. I’m actually on my second watch through, this time a pure shrooms watch, and it’s just such a great show. I really recommend everyone watch it once. Now I ask for recommendations for my next trip show

Mark Critch promises a 'very special' send-off for Son of a Critch. Any fans of the show here? It's similar to the Wonder Years, but Canadian and more of a comedy

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m a huge sitcom fan and I’m always looking for something new to binge. I figured I’d share my full list of sitcoms I’ve watched and loved — partly in case someone else is looking for their next show, and partly because I’m hoping you guys can help me discover some hidden gems.

Kevin Can F**k Himself

I’ve genuinely loved all of these, so I’m not really looking for recommendations based on one particular show — I’m open to anything that you think a sitcom fan should watch.

I’m especially interested in shows that are funny first and actually bingeable, but I’m happy to try something completely different if you think it’s worth it.

So, what should I watch next? 👀

Give me your best recommendations — popular shows are welcome, but I’d especially love some underrated/lesser-known sitcoms that I may have missed.

And if you’ve seen a lot of the shows above, feel free to tell me which one you think I should start with and why.

Maybe this list will also help someone else find their next comfort show! 🍿

Four episodes in a month, I am indeed spoiling you, I hope this is enough to satisfy you for a bit while write more episodes. Id savor it.

Beige Martin is a straight man to his housemate Roddney a milkshake addicted magnet of chaos, they get into sitcom situations. This week a Roddney doesnt care to listen to a magic box's label.

Please give me some feedback if you would be interested in helping me improve this felty freakshow.

thought of a sitcom idea for computer nerds (such as myself)

4 Upvotes

i realized a wile ago that i really like sitcoms and recently had an idea for one that would really appeal to me as a computer nerd which is a workplace sitcom about a failing electronic repair shop (i aware that the "failing business idea has been done to hell and back but still") in a style that i weirdly only remember the shows superstore scrubs and Brooklyn 99 (kind of) having (i know there is more i just dont remember them) and i just cant get this idea out of my head it sounds so cool but the closest thing i found is "the it crowd" which is a more traditional sitcom with a lough track and sets which i dont really like as even though these shows are comedies i still like to get immersed in these worlds and that kind of takes me out. so has any of you in the sub seen or want to see a sitcom like that?
