Nov 03
When 8 p.m. arrives, it’s time to curl up in front of the television with a TV supper and your remote control and watch your favorite group of friends or family members get into mischief. Sitcoms excel at using comedy to create engaging stories about the present, the past, and the future. The top five sitcoms from today and yesterday, as well as what made them so popular, are listed below.
Top 5 sitcoms and why they work
Scrubs
This was a program that knew what it was doing. Approximately one-third of the episodes concluded in a patient’s death, which was done on purpose. Even if the many dream sequences and prat falls contradicted reality, the show’s writers insisted on being realistic. The crowd may have laughed for 28 minutes, but the finest instances ended in tears.
M.A.S.H.
M.A.S.H., largely based on the classic film of the same name, presented the story of a group of hilarious surgeons enlisted into the Korean War. The program was as much a critique of the Vietnam War as it was of the Korean War, and the humor frequently echoed Catch-22’s black humour. And, like many of the finest sitcoms, each episode had at least one somber moment, regardless of how many laughs it contained.
The Big Bang Theory
It’s almost a surprise how this program has such a presence. Sheldon, one of the primary characters, is so obnoxious that nails on a blackboard appear less so. The remainder of the cast alternates between being obnoxious and being absolutely ignorant. Surprisingly, this turns out to be a winning formula for humorous brilliance. Almost single-handedly, this program is making geek culture cool.
Friends
Friends is perhaps one of the most well-known sitcoms ever. “Ross and Rachel” is a word that has become associated with on-again, off-again relationships. It’s difficult to quantify the show’s success. It is undeniably one part acting, one part story, and one part advertisement. But, most crucially, it was a presentation that struck a chord with the audience. Even at its most comic, viewers felt that the show portrayed a tale about individuals who might be them.
All in the Family
Archie Bunker was a bigot with a loud voice who verbally attacked everyone around him. He would have been a monster on his own, but with his supporting cast, he was a force to be reckoned with. He was a living legend. His well-intentioned ignorance, Edith’s inane knowledge, and Michael’s quixotic diatribes were all on display in each episode. It was a moving depiction of the turmoil and love that authentic families share.
