I miss sitcoms. The kind that are full of corny jokes and have 20 episodes a season. Seems that era of tv is dead, and it’s sad. Shows like Frasier, Seinfeld, Freinds, Big Bang theory etc. I guess with streaming being the main form of tv now it’s a different market.
I agree with you, I think the market has become so saturated with content that producers are either going with cringe reality shows, or period/crime drama for ratings, with not much in between.
I grew up in 70/80s UK and we had the likes of The Good Life, Fawlty Towers, Are You Being Served, Hi-de-Hi and countless others sitcoms. Sure, some of the content from those years wouldn't pass the respect test these days, but they were part of life at the time.
There are so many shows nowadays that I feel like I’m numb to all of them. Tried to watch the new season of the Witcher but was just lost most of the time. Same with Citadel.
