>>105369515>Seriously, when was the last time you saw a sitcom not attempt a joke for just one singular minute.Sitcoms often had a "Lets sit down and have a serious talk" moment though. I haven't watched too many modern sitcoms but:
>Fresh Prince>Roseanne>Home Improvement>Cosby Show>FriendsAre just a few I can think of. Seinfeld was unique in that it NEVER had a "sentimental episode", which is literally why it was ground-breaking for its time.
That being said, stuff like The Goldbergs and The Middle are sitcoms even though they don't have a laugh track.
