Favorite Realistic Sitcom?

“Roseanne” by a long shot.

You forgot The Big Bang Theory.

Roseanne may be a loon now but her sitcom was brilliant for much of its run

I love "Married, With Children" but was it realistic? Hardly.

For starters: A minimum wage shoe salesman living in a 2000 square foot 2 story colonial in the northern suburbs of Chicago?

I don't think so.

Voted for All in the Family but I also think Good Times was absolutely excellent for this.

I enjoyed The Middle, and not just because Charlie McDermott was often only wearing boxer shorts.

Don't you DARE say my house was not spotless!

“Roseanne” because, midway through the show’s run, the family ended up in worse financial straits than they’d ever been in before.

The lottery win on Roseanne is an example of what happens when creative bankruptcy and egregious audience betrayal collide in attempts to keep milking an already dry cash cow.

But for the first five years or so, Roseanne was magnificent. I grew up in a factory town in Illinois. Lanford felt very real to me.

I’d been in so many homes that looked and felt like the Conners’, but I’d never once seen one on television, save for Mama’s Family, which, in its original incarnation on Carol Burnett, also felt familiar, but devoid of love or happiness. I know that exists as well, but it’s a much harder sell.

I wish Roseanne hadn’t gone off the rails. The Conners was never the same without her.

Raising Hope is really underrated

Where’s Barney Miller?

Cops have consistently said it was the most accurate depiction of what it’s like to be a police officer.
