[fbj]

​

These were the sitcoms discussed from each decades 50's..............I love lucy and leave it to beaver 60's.....Brady Bunch 70's....All in the Family and Maude and One Day at a Time 80's......Family Ties and Cosby Show 90's...........Home Improvement, Roseanne, And why was Maude discussed? That wasnt a family sitcom I had low expectations and I was right. Garbage

It's the first episode in a series... at first I was upset they didn't bring up The Goldbergs or The Middle, but I'm sure they will eventually.

I've never seen the Maude show before and so I wouldn't know how it should really be classified.

God bless you always!!!

Because I love classic TV and I saw they was doing a special on the history of the sitcom. But it was a commercial every 10 mins

Big and pointy boobs with possible eye damage, and she went braless.

Commercial TV is a pain in the butt, in general. I think there is considerably less content per commercial than ever before. At least with "The Walking Dead" they just sold the extra commercials and let the show go off whenever it ended, instead of cutting the content to make room for the commercials. Getting so I prefer to Tivo shows, I'm interested in, so I can forward through commercials. I am not first to see the newest, but it is better viewing.

That's why God invented TIVO. Commercials suck.

What is interesting to me is the complete role reversal of men and women in the past 50 years in sitcoms.

In the 50s and 60s - Women were submissive kitchen dwellers who were ditsy and always referred to their husbands opinions because they were really just silly women.
In the 70s, there was a "movement" of sorts where women were no longer the little woman. Their roles were much more even with the men, and even showed them how dumb they were at times.
But by the 1980s... men were all idiots. Complete dumbasses, and now it is the brilliant wife that constantly has to save them from their childish stupidity. And it is still this way today. Name a family sitcom where the husband is not an imbecile and the wife is not smarter, more mature and always ends up saving the day.
Which is why we haven't watched a single network sitcom in years. The last sitcom I can think of that I watched was The Office. Watched some of Sunny in Philadelphia and Parks and Rec and of course Trailer Park Boys. But none of those are family sitcoms.
