‘History of the Sitcom’ explores the evolution of TV comedies
I’m just here to remind you all about the January 6th insurrection. Have a blessed day.
Im here to remind you about the Antifa Portland riots and BLM all over the country looting in the name of “reparations”, like the time a group of fine young black men beat an old lady to the ground with wood sticks, nothing to see here.
@Matias Martinez Amen.. selective outrage is a common flaw with liberal sheep.
Good job. Now get back on the Democrat mental plantation before boss realizes you’re gone.
*Americans are Getting Clobbered by Biden’s inflation*
@Matias Martinez can’t be “reparations” if most of the protesters are non-black🤦🏾♂️

@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500, lol, remember the economy after Bush Jr? A Democrat fixed that. Republicans are great at leaving higher deficits and shoveling their high horse bs, not much else. Good day and stop being so blissful.
History of the sitcom? I guess CNN knows fictional TV so well, they decided to do a series on it.
@Salvatore James, you’ve made almost 1,000 comments on a channel you don’t like, that’s some impressive whining.
@Scott Allen < this is a (yet another) bot. You can tell by the competely out of context reply that has nothing to do with what I posted. Not only does CNN have to make up the news, since their ratings have plummeted, they now have to invent comment interactions on their page. Par for the pitiful course.
@Salvatore James, I’m a bot? A bot that can look at your comments and call you out on your BS? You give bots too much credit. Basically your comment is, I don’t have a good reason for being on a channel I hate. I have no defense. Better to question the validity of the PERSON calling me out. Lmao.
The history of Sitcoms is a representation of the Good Old Days in America.
The old shows are cool. But the past sucked, grow up!
@the TV baby 83 negative the present bites 😳👈
@WHODAT MICHAEL 😆
The history of sitcoms..
The devils army brainwashing the population thru a TV set
@the TV baby 83 “But the past sucked”
In the news it sucked, Vietnam was even worse if you were connected to it but in real life
I remember things were a lot less complicated, less stressful, and certainly more optimistic than today.
I don’t think we really have sitcoms any more. We just have comedies. A sitcom is a Situation Comedy where the comedy comes out of the situational set up. For instance:
– Gilligan’s Island: What if a disparate group of strangers are marooned on a desert island.
– Hogan’s Heroes: What if a POW camp was actually an operation to smuggle folks out of WWII Germany.
– Beverly Hillbillies: What if a group of poor hillbillies struck it rich and moved to Beverly Hills.
– I Dream of Jeannie: What if you found a genie in a bottle who would fulfill your every wish.
Today we have comedies. A mom & dad and their 2 kids, living in the suburbs. Comedy ensues. Five friends living in their apartments in New York. Comedy ensues. The comedy may be good, it may consist of zingers and one liners, but the comedy doesn’t come out of a particular situation that is the premise for the show.
Just one person’s opinion.
I would argue that a similar thing happened to sci-fi, where it went from “high concept” sci-fi like The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits etc. which was sort of a moralistic set up to adventure sci-fi (Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica). I think Star Trek was a transition, in that it had the high concept as well as the adventure.
One of the first sitcoms in the U.K. was “Hancock’s half hour” in the 50s, with Sid James. It was a radio show that moved to TV. Half the country listened/watched, and the streets were empty when it was on.
I recently watched them again on DailyMotion, and they are still the best sitcoms ever made IMO. You can see how the shots are set up, and the general format was born. Certain episodes like “twelve angry men”, “the blood donor”, “the radio ham” and “the bed sitter” are masterpieces of stage/screen production.
Here’s one of them Satan babies spiraling into the abyss
Married with children. All in the family. Jeffersons and Sanford and son!
All sitcoms are used for brainwashing tactical warfare for the purpose of destroying humanity for Satans army
It’s all in the ti ming👏👏👏🙏😆
In other news Conor McGregor vs cowboy looks like a waste of money now?
Dark Shadows was the funniest. The rest were rehashed versions of the same “B. S.”. Idiots doing idiotic things. Like “Leave It To Beaver” [aka the idiot] Ward and June should have asked and watched the boys more closely. The newspaper episode, “DUH”? Check the date of the newspapers. Or more early in the weekJune delivering them in a taxi.
The cuban people need help and food. I am praying for the end of communism in Cuba and the rest of the world.

@Albert Russell You can help raise funds for them and still live very comfortable and happy
*Liberalism only works if you’re trying to Destroy an Economy.*
“I am praying for the end of communism in Cuba ”
Then why comment? God will decide and he kinda already did. You not satisfied with the decision God made or?
@Mark David All they need is the US to remove sanctions that were removed by Obama and harshly replaced by Trump. Let the Cuban people be free from outside imperialism.
@Kim Hoffmann Andersen Didn’t Jesus say to give all your possessions to the poor and follow him to the rich man? Jesus is communist. 🖤

I grew up watching 3rd rock from the sun and that 70s show
My heart is filled with so much bitterness and pain, I feel so ashamed of myself that I’ve actually resorted to asking for assistance online😞, but honestly speaking I’d rather ask for help rather than sell my body to men for money, Life has been tremendously unbearable for me and my sister lately, I never believed that depression was real until it hit me, I’m currently battling with serious suicidal thoughts and it’s due to the severe hardship on my our end, nobody deserves to live a life like this, I can’t remember the last time my sister and I had two square meals a day, we barely eat these days, it breaks my heart seeing my only sister and sibling cry food food, I recently lost the only job I had that used to help put food on our table, I quit the job bcs the monster I was working for was harassing me sexually every day. We lost our parents in the space of 5 months in 2017 and ever since then life has been so bad for us, please this is a genuine plea for assistance so we can at least get food items to stay alive, over here we don’t have any supports whatsoever from our failed government, no food stamps, no food banks, nothing! Please from the depths of my heart I’m crying out for little assistance 😭 so we can stick up on groceries to keep us Alive, hunger is tearing us apart. this is a sincere plea for help😞🙏. I can be reached through my email address- kelechiekeh4@gmail.com
Good luck to you and yours.
On the hunt per Texas Rangers lmao
A lot of great shows however I think cnn was the best sitcom of all time
CNN just provides the facts of reality. That makes them factual correct but not even close to being sit-com-Y 🙂
Oh, got it now. You’re an idiot. I love and support that 🙂
Threes Company was a very original idea. John Ritter played a man pretending to be liberal.
CNN will do everything they can to keep from reporting unbiased news about this administration. They have news on sitcoms now. And of course TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP.
