Ugh. Sitcoms.
Pretty sure that's the lowest form of comedy aside form late night talk shows. There are 3 types of sitcoms. ALL sitcoms fall under these three formulas.
1. The 'friends in an apartment' format. I think this was pioneered by Seinfeld. BBT is Seinfeld with nerds. Or Friends with nerds. I'll wager that was the EXACT pitch.
2. The family sitcom. No point in naming anything specific, we all know this one going back 40 years.
3. The workplace sitcom - Probably my favorite kind simply because there's some variation and they're not just slightly altered versions of the same thing (like friends/seinfeld/BBT)
They all constantly spamming laugh tracks after non-jokes. It was far more tolerable when they used actual studio audiences.
Anyway, never watched BBT. Obviously a lot of people did.
