Or, what if you took away the ? in a title?

Who's the Boss becomes a workplace comedy/drama about the Mayor of Who-ville and the fight to secure Federal disaster funds to help repair his tiny town after assault from an eagle. The government sends an elephant to help instead of money. Hijinks ensue and life lessons are learned.

It's a really good traditional sitcom. Seinfeld is the goat traditional sitcom

the office redefined sitcom. Call it sitcom 2.0. modern family was an overrated version of 2.0 while parks might be goat of 2.0. B99 is if you took the sensibilities of parks with the so-so quality of modern family.

The good place and community are their own thing. Unique and awesome.

Ted lasso is kinda it's own thing. Maybe like a modern twist on 1.0.

I really like Severance, but wonder how far they can go with the premise. Westworld started great, but then started wandering around after the first season. I hope that doesn't happen to Severance.

The principal is partly why I couldn’t get into it. The actress is great and I would’ve loved the character as a teacher but it was just so jarring having such an incompetent person being in charge, even for a sitcom. And it’s blatant incompetency, not just a nuisance like Michael Scott. It’s like the writers use her purely as a conflict device. Maybe I didn’t watch enough yet but it was just so one dimensional
