    I’d argue there’s not a single relatable thing in any of these sitcoms and the moment they stopped pretending to be and were about us watching the misery of four of five rich yuppies suffer, sitcoms had a resurgence.

    Seinfeld went this way after Larry David departed, but Arrested Development was the first.

      I had this realization recently. I don’t watch much tv anyways, but whenever someone recommend a show to me it’s just rich people doing rich people things.

      I guess it’s a nice dream to have? I just can’t unsee it now.

      Bob’s burgers is a decent alternative, struggling restaurant and kids playing with garbage most the time.

      Idk about resurgence, there’s still a lot of traditional sitcoms on TV. They all get like 7-8 seasons, they’re all the same kinda trash. I think the difference is just that we now occasionally get good ones.
