Television Sitcoms.....A Thing Of The Past?

I do have a couple of sitcoms that I watch on a regular basis that I really enjoy. Big Bang Theory, How I met Your Mother, and Two and a Half Men, just to name a few. I hear what your saying though. The networks really don't give these shows a chance to find an audience, even if critics rave about it. If a new sitcom or drama, for that matter, isn't getting the ratings after a couple months, it gets canceled, or at the very least not renewed. These shows are just so much more expensive to produce than the reality type shows, and the reality type shows get the ratings.

I do as well. Some of the ones you named (Home Improvement, The Cosby Show, Reba) I actually have on DVD because I miss the days of the clean, but FUNNY sitcom. I also used to watch Full House and Fmaily Matters all the time. Right now the only sitcome I watch is The Big Bang Theory on CBS, and while it is hilarious, it isn't as clean as sitcoms used to be. Of course there at the end Roseanne was gettin' her vulgar on!

Sitcoms went the way of the dodo many moons ago. I believe this happened when Family Matters went to CBS, and TGIF was dismantled. I'm not sure if anything can bring this interesting television medium back to life(other than voodoo.)
