Fun! ironclad Send a noteboard - 03/12/2009 08:05:22 PM
1. What is your favourite classic TV sitcom (by "classic" I generally mean anything before 2000 and the reality TV/medical drama/HBO-ization/cable dilution of the market phenomena)? Why?

If I can choose just one I'll pick Friends
2. Who is your favourite classic TV character? (Not necessarily from the same sitcom as above)

To make up for it, I pick Niles Crane from Frasier here
3. Do you like watching re-runs of old TV shows? If so, what are a few you like watching?

the above, plus Seinfeld and Married with children.
4. Do you own any TV sitcoms on DVD? If so, which ones?

Friends, Frasier and Seinfeld. Futurama and Simpsons don't count I guess
5. What decade would you consider the "golden age" of the sitcom?

90s. the happy family 80s make me cringe, looking back now, as much as I liked the Cosby show as a kid, for example.
6. Laugh tracks - irritating or bearable?

every time I watch the shows in original it seems there is actually a crowd there and no tape
7. What sitcom did you hate the most and why?

Full House looks awful, but I didn't watch any enough to hate them.
8. What character on a TV sitcom irritated you the most and why?

Kramer from Seinfeld. He was just such an odd person. But funny.
9. Which evil twin or brother/sister did you like best and why?

I can't remember any :D Wait, didn't have Joey's Dr. Drake Remorey one?
10. What spinoff do you think was the best? The worst?

Frasier, since it was a spin off to Cheers, which I never saw. Joey wasn't bad, but nowhere near Friends, sadly.
That's it. Switch your main dials to U and then set your UHF dial to 50.

UHF? Fun movie by Weird Al :D

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

Wait...you watched "Friends" but forgot about Ursula and Russ? Tom - 04/12/2009 05:14:24 PM 652 Views
Russ was hilarious. TaskmasterJack - 04/12/2009 05:27:33 PM 600 Views
I didn't forget about them per se Just didn't connect them with "evil" straight away. ironclad - 05/12/2009 11:58:04 AM 650 Views
They were at least as evil as Emperor Palpatine. *NM* Tom - 05/12/2009 05:22:22 PM 309 Views

Although quite absurd, "Knight Rider" wasn't technically a sitcom Tom - 04/12/2009 05:13:09 PM 633 Views
Yeah, I really got sucked in by that Benson marathon. TaskmasterJack - 04/12/2009 05:29:39 PM 659 Views
Oh, he was the sort of whiney guy with glasses, right? Tom - 04/12/2009 09:56:52 PM 644 Views
No glasses, no. He also wasn't terribly whiney as I recall. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/12/2009 10:10:24 PM 308 Views

I see you didn't switch your VHF dial to "U" before answering Tom - 04/12/2009 05:03:08 PM 609 Views

I'm not sure Black Adder is quite a "sitcom" Tom - 04/12/2009 05:04:05 PM 627 Views
It's about one of the most perfect examples of a situation comedy I can think of Mark - 04/12/2009 05:33:07 PM 668 Views
Hmm...your new argument makes me think you might be right. Tom - 04/12/2009 09:58:31 PM 657 Views
I answers questions. Palatine - 04/12/2009 04:26:26 PM 629 Views
