The type of comedy that you can get away with on television these days has evolved so much, but a lot of times it feels like the networks are really slow to catch on to that, creating this strange situation where there are new television comedies that seem like they could have just as easily been on the air twenty years ago.

In a word, stale. There are so many wonderful comedies out there that are risky, subversive, and experimental, it seems a shame to devote airtime to just another traditional situation comedy.

And please, can we just stop with the sitcoms that revolve around a certain situation that could super easy be remedied? Oh, you don't like living next door to your parents and siblings because they constantly overstep their boundaries and that's literally all the show is about?

Ok, well... find a new apartment. Job done. If this was somehow associated with Chuck Lorre, then maybe it would have a shot, but the way things stand now, it just doesn't seem hopeful.
