History of the Sitcom

How do you do a show on the history of sitcoms and omit the longest running sitcom in TV history!?! It is part of pop culture and a family sitcom yet it was completely omitted from the first episode. I'm just boggled and I really don't think that I missed it because I even rounded when it came time for the 19 8990s era especially when they talk about fox launching their network and they missed so many great fox shows and they only showed married with children. This series just lost so much credibility with me because I just don't know how one makes this mistake. Especially when Homer is like the anti-Dad, but they're such a family unit wild.

With a series like this they could have done a marvelous job talking about society, the business, the actors, the networks, etc. Instead they do a half-based job on everything. Why do it?

This series follows the formula that most History Channel docs follow: Snippet, actor/critic comment, repeat, commercial. It's nice to see some of the old shows represented, as well as the grown up actors comment. We watched these shows because they were funny, that's it. Never gave two sh#ts if the actors were white or black. Those were the good times!!!!

I'm enjoying these episodes. I grew up watching many of these sitcoms and like hearing from the actors and others in the business how they lived or viewed them. Yes they touch on topics that were affected during those years and you may or may not agree with it but that's their history.

A pathetic, scary footnote for 2021 - So many of these comedians, notably Jerry Seinfeld et al, refuse to perform at any of today's college campuses because the students have lost their sense of humor. With so many social agendas, there are too many people that are sitting on the edge of the seat ready to be offended and attack.

Scary.
