One of my favorite episodes! Why can't we have tv shows like Seinfeld, Fraiser, King of Queens, I Love Lucy, Home Improvement and Friends anymore?

I feel a lot of our cinematic media has lost its originality and its quality.🙁

Bring back Married With Children!!!! LOL!

That was a good one as well! Al was always funny, and sometimes I get the urge to sing Love and Marriage thanks to this show!😊

It’s a rhetorical question, innit?
Everything has to be so damn politically correct today, all the time
Comedy suffers as a result
Just imagine if this episode (or half the Seinfeld episodes really) were made today… Creators would never hear the end of it from the “do better” crowd!

I couldn't agree with you more. They are really trying their best to take the fun out of everything. I'm not tech savvy so I don't know how to post the link, but this nonsense was on CTV news the other day. A perfect example of how everything has turned into a political nightmare and cancel culture. Forgive my old soul, but I miss the classics, and a time period where more people had a better sense of humor and had a lighter spirit.

Back in the day, no one would blink an eye at guys dressed in Nazi uniforms, lol
Was walking on Yonge st on Halloween in the 80's, a guy had a giant foam penis attached to his groin and was following women closely from behind he had a big grin on his face, everyone around was laughing. LOL The good'ol days.

The most popular sitcom currently is Nobody Wants This, proving that Justine Lupe has the Midas Touch. Prior to the Netflix show, she's been in Mr. Mercedes, The Marvelous Miss. Maisel, and Succesion. She showed up on Kimmel last night, it was a disappointment. She should be flaunting those magnificent legs every chance she gets!

 
Greatest moment in sitcom history, nothing else comes close. Al Bundy vs Spare Tire Dixon.

O'Neill was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969 under rookie head coach Chuck Knoll but was cut in training camp, having to compete with fellow rookie defensive linemen Mean Joe Greene and LC Greenwood for a roster spot.

I would've laughed too, harmless fun is what's supposed to be had! Especially on Halloween! I'm sure most of us can agree that we know when something is a joke and when something is malice. People need a little reality check these days to keep their heads out of the clouds.

Out of the list of shows you mentioned, only one of them was good. I'll never for the life of me understand why Friends was so popular. It had some moments here and there, but I never understood the popularity and cult like following it had.

Everyone has different tastes and dislikes.🙂
 
The reasons why Nobody Wants This is so popular is the coupling of Justine Lupe and Tim Simons, they are insane. Tim Simons comic timing is impeccable, he could be as good as Bill Murray.

As Congressman Jonah Ryan, Tim Simons was the breakout star of Veep.

 
Pecore amoroso, all the good stuff posted after George Costanza attained Divinity is gone. Let's put some of it back - what did Newman buy from the Soup Nazi?

 
That scene will stay in history. The poor actor (soup nazi) was actually attacked on the street because they though he was really that way.

As a funny footnote, Jerry Seinfeld went for lunch at the soup stand that was owned by the real-life inspiration for the Soup Nazi. He'd never been before. The guy recognized Seinfeld and kicked him out.
 
First we pay our respect to the fallen heroes on Wednesday. Then we wait with eager anticipation for the most blessed holiday of the year.
