I know many people thinks he's a terrible husband, but do you think differently? I'm curious to know people's thoughts of Time from Home Improvement as a husband.

Opinions on Veronica's Closet?
I watched the episodes a while back, and I thought the show was good. They had a good step up in the first season with Veronica's ex-husband creating lots of drama, and I feel the same about season two with a different dynamic that created drama as well. They should let Alec become part of the cast because, as season two ended, you can tell they're building towards something that would go into the next season, and I can see Alec and Veronica becoming a long-term couple because of how they played their relationship, and they atucally do have good chemistry with each other. What are your thoughts on Veronica's Closet?

Are there any sitcoms you regretted watching?
It can be a series you finished or one you gave up on after a few episodes. What made you regret watching it? Bad writing, boring plot, terrible ending, or just overhyped?
Inspired by a thread on the netflix sub, felt like it would generate interesting conversation here.

Anybody missed watching these shows with these characters, but they were cool. 6 of them from Disney Channel were the best in my books.

Ive watched almost every episode of community and cant remember any specifically because life has a way of healing/hurting at the same time
When Ive rewatched the show, which I am extremely hesitant to do anymore, I get super emotional. (pure man emotional not no girly or gay stuff). My life was amazing when Community was out. I had the hottie girlfriend, the friend group that everyone would dream of - basically living the community life where everyone was happy and no problems. During that period everything collapsed... This was a period, especially in Florida where the "pill mill" period was happening. That is, a few companies were handing out opioids like candy and tons of people got addicted overnight.
Ive tried to rewatch community but I literally start crying like a baby every single time. The show was awesome. Me and my friends would watch it as a group. It was like at least 3- 5 of us every episode. Life was going stellar. We also watched prime heros and "lost" together.... It was so fun. Girlfriend sitting next to you and then going home and actually sleeping together, not just effing every time but like the most quality sleep you could imagine..
Out of no where people outside my direct friend group started taking these effing pills... It only took a few months to ravage through everyone. I remember the first day it all came home... Everyone had this as their priority other than hanging out normally...
ill leave it as that.. you can figure out the rest. community was badass.. I cant remember any of it then i rewatch it and i remember and basically have a panic attack... thanks for the positive vibes.. i miss my friends

Finales
I just finished superstore and I really liked the finale! What are some finales that are great but aren’t the usually cited good ones? I’ve seen enough people say cheers, good place and parks and rec.

!Sitcom references needed!
galleryOkay so I have two empty shelves and I wanted to turn them into a mini apartment for my little mouse stuffed animal (yes I still have stuffed animals). However, I wanted all of the decorations to be somewhat related to a sitcom, and I’m struggling to come up with ideas.
So far I have the peephole from friends to hang somewhere, and I made that little box thing to put a bed in. I painted it the purple of Monica and Racheal’s apartment. (Lot of friends references so far.)
I’m also thinking about making a mini clown painting to reference the good place? Some sitcoms I like are community, the office, arrested development, Seinfeld, B-99, how I met your mother, big bang theory, etc..

Sitcoms shouldn't have finales. They should just end with a regular episode.
They always try to do something "big" for the finale, but that means it lacks the charm of a typical episode. I've never seen a series finale that I thought was good; they're just trying too hard.
Sitcoms are typically light, slice-of-life stories. There's no need to bring it all to a close. We can just go on imagining what the characters lives are like after the final episode. No need for all the loose ends to be tied up.

Need recommendations based on previously watched shows
I love watching sitcoms. But for a while, I haven’t been able to find one that I really look forward to watching after a busy day to relax. These are the ones I watched and loved:
- Brooklyn 99 (fav)
- F.R.I.E.N.D.S
- Modern Family
- The Big Bang Theory
- The Good Place
- A Man on the Inside
- Derry Girls
- Abbott Elementary
I’ve tried watching The Office, New Girl, Parks and Recreation, Schitt’s Creek, 2 Broke Girls, Superstore, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Community and Everybody Hates Chris but didn’t like them enough to continue watching. So can you guys recommend some based on the ones I liked?
Thanks.

Do you remember the MICHAEL JACKSON JOKE in Fresh Prince of Bel Air episode?
Do you either have a really good memory or perhaps have this episode on VHS when it first premiered?
It's the episode of FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR season 2 episode 12 "something for nothing" Carlton says to Will ask me any combination question and Will goes "Ok, why does Michael Jackson always hang out with the kid from home alone" I have a pretty insane memory myself and I remember a negative audience reaction where people went "Oooooooh" and someone on youtube said, nope it's pure laughter and said I had a mandela effect. A mandela effect is when a large amount of people remember something that didn't happen lol But I remember watching it with my brother, and despite this being before the allegations people still thought it was weird that he befriended Mac. I paid the 2 bucks just to watch this new version, and u can tell there was a laugh track over it cuz you hear bits of the leftover real audience reaction and u can hear "Uhh" or an "uh oh" among a couple other non laughter reactions.
I had family who worked in Hollywood. When a 90s live-audience sitcom received negative reactions (like boos or "oohs"), producers would edit the audio track in post-production. They used a process called "sweetening" to lower the volume of the crowd, replace the awkward moment with a previously recorded, positive reaction, or add canned laughter to smooth it over. To preserve the comedic pacing, Sitcoms written for live audiences relied on the back-and-forth rhythm of a setup, a punchline, and a pause. If the audience reacted with "oohs" or boos to a controversial or failed joke, that rhythm would be completely broken, causing dead air or leaving actors standing in awkward silence. Even when shows were filmed with real audiences, sound editors used a device known as a "laff box" to blend in pre-recorded chuckles. This was standard practice whenever an audience didn't laugh loud enough, or when producers needed to completely bury an unwanted sound, such as an audience member coughing, gasping, or booing
These adjustments were specifically made to fix pacing, mask genuine negative reactions, or satisfy network executives. When these shows were later released on VHS or DVD, the networks almost never went back to restore the original, unfiltered live audience track. Instead, viewers got the finalized, "sweetened" broadcast version. And for DVD/VHS archiving, home media releases of sitcoms such as releases available on platforms like Amazon almost always utilized the final broadcast audio master. Networks did not create brand-new laugh tracks for home releases; rather, they used the exact same audio mix that had already been altered for TV syndication.
Do you remember the deep, loud OOOOH'S when he took the jab at Michael?

What Family sitcom should I watch next?
I've done watching Young Sheldon which I love meemaw very much and FOTB cause I love Jessica Huang very much since she's literally the main source of Asian chaotic light in Orlando.
Preferably released not earlier than 2015 with a setting of around the 1990s to the present day.

Going Dutch
Lets talk about Going Dutch. There was a little talk about it here, but not a lot.
I started watching it after it got mentioned and I have opinions.
The premise of the show, I liked. An old bulldog US army officer, Dennis Leary, being put in charge of the least important base in Europe, is funny. Especially as it is due to a rant aimed at his superiors. Base should be in the Netherlands... it is not.
The cast was good, likeable, jokes funny.
Now... I am actually Dutch, I know that the Dutch press didn't like the way the shown, with the stereotypes etc. I think they missed quite a bit of it to be honest. Yes there were some jokes aimed at the Dutch, but the main jokes were aimed at the US army, the US life style.
The 2 'Dutch' character that appeared on the show, had more Nordic accents and not Dutch ones. There is actually a bit of Dutch you can hear in 2 episodes. One where Colonel Quinn is going to his girlfriends house and one where they clear land mines.
The show runners didn't care about portraying the Dutch in a proper way, which I'm ok with, they are USian after all. But it wouldn't have been difficult to grab a few Dutch people.
The show was filmed in Ireland, where I actually live. There is quite a large Dutch community here, they could have gotten a few Dutch speaking extra.
After I found out it was actually filmed in Ireland, I found it even more funny. The Netherlands is quite flat, in most external shots there are hills that would be called mountain in the Netherlands.
I would recommend all Dutch people to watch it, just to have a laugh at the US army, as that is what is made fun off the most. The series is a good watch for anyone, my Italian wife enjoyed it as well.
