Or a show with a sarcastic and dry brunette lead.

I honestly have seen none of Whitney, so I can't speak for its quality, but from what I have seen of 2BG, my head aches from its popularity.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

It's basically like Friends but with characters written like the ones in 2BG.

Let's focus on good sitcoms instead-



Classic. I wish I could find more Bob Newhart stuff on tumblr though.

You know what show I never really cared for, even at the time? Sabrina The Teenage Witch.

None of the characters were good or even memorable (and Sabrina is such a terrible friend that she seems to have a new best friend every week), every week is essentially the same plot, and all of the attempts to remain relevant were strange. For instance, Sabrina must be the only teenager in the world who was a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins and N*SYNC. Then it left ABC and became Friends-lite, and it was a lost cause.

I dunno, I still like Boy Meets World and Step By Step (the latter to a lesser extent), and I still find Full House and Family Matters watchable even if for filler despite them not aging well. The other shows are decent background noise, but Sabrina? It never clicked for me at all.

And yes I basically just said I'd rather watch Full House than Sabrina. They both feel the same to me, but I guess dealing with boring characters is a lot easier than dealing with an obnoxious teenage lead for a main character.

Honestly, Sabrina was the only other TGIF show I can tolerate now, but it means nothing to me. I really liked Archie and Melissa Joan Hart as a kid, so I ended up liking the show back then, but I dunno, I don't feel interest or disdain from watching it now, like I would from BMW or Full House respectively.

I dunno, even at the time whenever the show came on TGIF at the time I sort of lost interest. Family Matters at least had Waldo to make me laugh, and Step By Step was a fun generic family sitcom, and BMW was...well, BMW, but Sabrina didn't have much of anything for me to connect with. It was just filler.

And I'm not even talking about the latter years.

Can someone just take one of Julie Bowen's Emmys away from her and give them to her instead?

As I get prepared to rewatch seasons 5 and 6 of the show, I'm just reminded of how "Slap Bet" might just be one of the best episodes of any TV show ever made. It's the perfect introduction to the show if you're unfamiliar or haven't been impressed with what you've seen, either.

And I pray that you did not spoil yourself by finding out the twist ending before you see it. That ruins the fun.

What were your thoughts when you first saw the episode?

Finally looking at this Better Off Ted. Quirky.

I don't really watch sitcoms these days. The only ones I'd actually go back to watch are Cosby Show, Different World, Boy Meets World, Home Improvement, Living Single, Friends and bits of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

As much as I like Tyler Perry, and I respect the content and story he tries to get across in his shows and movies, but I prefer he'd stick with his plays.
