Yet another GAF thread - I still haven't got over it :( (No spergfits allowed)

[Kara]

Home Improvement, brehs. 

This is probably the correct answer.

I even been white shamed for watching it.

[Phoenix Dark]

Scrubs is classic, and nearly up there with Arrested Development as a GOAT comedy. Community had a spark when it started but then turned to garbage (haven't seen last season and a half).

Always Sunny...at its best it was perfect. At its worse it's painful.

[octopushover]

i thought family matters was the whitest sitcom in history

It's certainly no Martin or Hangin With Mr Cooper.



Okay I change my mind.

It's not The Nanny and it's not Clarissa.

Full House.

Worst show ever.

full house was the launch of tahj mowry's career though.

[cosmicblizzard]

Always Sunny is best comedy on TV.

[Momo]

I never liked Scrubs, cant stomach JD for the most part. All those random mental fantasies got tired fast.

[Tasty]

Always Sunny tries too hard too often.

It's still fantastic, of course.

while true, that is superseded by the pedophile uncle

[Broseidon]

Frasier

[jakefromstatefarm]

Tim took his kids to Pistons games, not the whitest show ever.

Did Frasier have any non-white recurring characters? Did anyone in the main cast ever interact with an ethnic minority?

EDIT: The guy who lived in the apartment above Frasier's.  They introduce duke as an archenemy and he's in a grand total of 3 episodes.

[brob]

the english maid is the closest you get I think. Maybe the retired police dad had some nominally ethnic former-colleague friend who was a one-episode appearance?

[Kara]

We should really do a March Madness bracket for this enterprise.

[Momo]

Kate Costas wasnt white pretty minor char tho

[Himu]

Pretty good guide to awful 90's shows.

[Momo]

wait, or was she?

[Himu]

Haha, I always forget about Baywatch. I pretended to like that show so I could fit in;.

[Himu]

Why doesn't anyone mention Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman when talking about 90's shows?

[Tasty]

Mom liked Dr Quinn. Grandma like Touched by an Angel.

Weren't really sitcoms though...

What about Xena.

[octopushover]

Do we know for a fact that Maris was white?

[Pickles the Firecat]

How are you going to talk about white sitcoms without mentioning Wings? Wings is the pinnacle of rich white entertainment. Joyless, derivative, utterly without meaning or merit, yet somehow on the air for seven consecutive years.

Look at this cast:

[Squiddy]

I have never heard of that show.
I guess it didn't have international appeal.

[jakefromstatefarm]

[Niles considers carrying around a sack of flour to practice for fatherhood]

Niles: Extra-refined. It's taking after its old man already.

Frasier: No Niles, that's the sugar. If we're going to do this, we're going to do it right. Now, here is the flour.

[reading from the label]

Frasier: Bleached, 100% fat free, best when kept in an air-tight container. It seems this one is taking after its mother.

Also the woman who co-anchors Frasier's show a couple times and works the Christmas parade with him is black.

I've seen this show way too many damn times

This is one of those shows you remember but you tried to make yourself forget until some asshole on an internet message board called the bore reminds you of it.

[etiolate]

ok Wings is pretty bad

[brob]

god damn. Growing up with no pay tv channels I watched a lot of stuff that was aired specifically because it was cheap to license. Wings, Cheers, Rex [the german police dog], etc. I think I saw all the episodes of Relic Hunter before I saw an Indiana Jones film.

Tia Carrere tho

I'm pretty sure if hell exists it's a place where you're forced to watch bad sitcoms.

seriously that Wings photo looks like a Sears catalog cover

[Himu]

Pretty sure these 10 guests who keep guesting it up are all like,"fuck this place. They're talking about shitty 90's shows and not neogaf. Why am I reading this?"



That's what you get for lurking, assholes.

Here's for you lurkers:

Seinfeld is the undisputed GOAT. I just rewatched the entire series a few months ago and it was so far ahead of it's time it's stupid. Almost all of the plot points are still relevant. Elaine not dating men who are pro-life? The sponge? Jerry being racist toward Native Americans without realizing it? George inadvertently shitting on lower class members of society through careless actions most people take for granted? You want to make a successful Tumblr, you start making Seinfeld .gif sets.

NewsRadio was dope as hell but gets super overrated by the holier-than-thou nerd community that always needs their favorite X or Y media to validate who they are. "Oh you liked Seinfeld? Yeah, it was alright. But NewsRadio was REALLY brilliant". FOH.

Parks and Rec is the best modern sitcom. Er, Parks and Rec before the last season and a half is the best modern sitcom. And it's one of the few shows with relentless optimism and general pleasantness that wasn't awful. Or was even attempted. Everything has to be depressing now.

I've always loved how no one tries to even stop the dog.

[Pickles the Firecat]

Parks and Rec is still great.

 

everyone is a caricature now. None of them are fully functioning human beings with personality quirks, they're just one note jokes. Andy is stupid and only stupid. Ron is manly and libertarian and only manly and libertarian. April is an uncaring asshole. Donna is pretentious. There's no balance to them as people. The best example I can give is the opening of Tom's restaurant in the finale, where April literally sabotaged the entire operation single handedly by taking orders like an asshole. April would never have done that before the last two seasons. She was someone who had a tough personality, yeah...but she looked out for her friends and would do anything to help them if they needed it. She would do it in weird ways, but she would make the effort. But now? LOL OUR MENU IS POOP

The yelling gay dude who is so unimportant to the show that I don't even remember his name is also dumb as hell and needs to get the fuck out. Or actually become a real person instead of a random yelling dude. Really, he's indicative of how every character is written now. You have your one personality trait and that's it. What is this, Family Guy?

Community has so many more problems though. God. At least Parks and Rec is still watchable.

[Himu]

I'm in denial, Pickles. 30 Rock is gone, Parks without Rashida Jones, Sunny is in a bad place, Archer has been off since s3, Community...phht, South Park sucks now, Louie doesn't want to make Louie a goddamn comedy anymore. I've only got Veep, Colbert, and Drunk History to get my laughs off with now.

[etiolate]

Rick and Morty and Bob's Burgers for laughs.

[Himu]

Thank you for the suggestion. People keep suggesting Bob's Burgers and I still haven't watched it. Will marathon this summer.

[jakefromstatefarm]

Cool. Hopefully next we can get The Bore to admit that Archer ' s been off since S3.

You have my axe breh. I still watch Archer and American Dad out of habit but the only adult animation show I can fuck with right now is Rick and Morty. I'm also trying out The Venture Bros., season and a half deep and enjoying it so far.

[Pickles the Firecat]

Bob's Burgers is really, really, really good. Fantastic even. So is Brooklyn-99. They're both top of the heap with everything falling apart lately, but they would be great even in a strong comedy environment. You're right about Louie not being a comedy, it's definitely a drama, but I still enjoy it more than almost anything else. Brilliant show.

Archer...eh. I still laugh most episodes, which is enough. It has moments. I guess I was never that into to begin with so its decline is less steep for me.

[Himu]

Key and Peele is good too.

Louie is a great show. But these day not a great comedy.

[Himu]

I haven't watched Venture in years because they take so long between seasons and the fact that AS is now a desert.

[thisismyusername]

I made a persona 4 golden thread and it turned into waifu wars. I guess that was inevitable.

How many Seinfeld eps would have been 2 minutes long if someone had a cell phone?

[Pickles the Firecat]

How many Seinfeld eps would have been 2 minutes long if someone had a cell phone?

Surprisingly very few. Off the top of my head the Chinese food restaurant (George cant call his girlfriend) and Bubble Boy episodes (Jerry loses George on the freeway). There are more, but not too many

[nudemacusers]

bob's burgers is a slow burn but once you 'get it', hard to let go. give it half a season.

We haven't figured out what the most white sitcom of the 90s is yet, let's not take on simultaneous substantial undertakings.

Do it, or you'll be a failure since you didn't.

[recursivelyenumerable]

Easy fix, their cell phones can just be out of batteries whenever they need them, like mine always is.

I saw WarGames, if you don't play you can't lose.

Worst GAF avatar trends:

I think the closest Saoirse avatars came to being a trend was during Steam's Autumn Sale last year when 2 or 3 people in the Steam thread took my avatar and drew moustaches on it. But then what would I know. :p

[Kara]

A recipient of shit talk appears.

Disclaimer: there's probably going to be no animation allowed in the most white sitcom of the 90s thing. Probably going to have to have some other rules like having to be on air for X seasons, too.
