I hate when all of a sudden a HUGE star will guest star on the show under the premise that they're an old friend of one the main characters. Especially if they've NEVER mentioned it before the star showed up.

Also I can't stand it how whenever a celebrity shows up, no matter how low on the totem poll they are EVERYBODY jumps on their tip. Even if they're ugly as hell there will still be at least one person throwing themselves at them just because they're a star.

This is easily my favorite one. The wife is a damn supermodel and the guy... well... isn't, to put it mildly. The only reason this really annoys me is that it never happens in the other direction on TV.

like that half-asian looking chick who he tried to accuse of being bulemic....what the fuck? it was really inconsistent with his character. cause he was this neurotic, unstable, fat unemployed dude who lived at home with the 'rents....yet he was getting laid on the regular.

same shit with seinfeld to an extent....he'd walk up to some chick with some corny ass line and his ugly ass mullet, next thing you knew he was doing her.

he did The Tonight Show, had a pilot, shit like that, so that could account for some of it. but yeah that still doesn't explain how random hot women would be eying his goofy ass at baseball games.

When he stands up off his bed and eats floor... paintin' his room at 4 in the morning like what. Good times.

That joint was funny. They even recreated it on "The Rerun Show", a short-lived show that aired on NBC and VH1 and had young actors recreating episoded of old TV shows. On the new version, Screech played Jesse's doctor.

Sites that I contribute to:

And as much as I love The Cosby Show, that series is public enemy #1 when it comes to this category. A doctor and a lawyer who are always home? And on top of that they have the time and energy to costume up and put on skits in order to teach Theo a lesson about the 'real world'? Them Huckstables were a little *too* constructive at times.

Friends was notorious for that. Hanging out at Central Perk at all hours of the day...and none of them had telecommuting-type jobs, lol.

Anyway...yeah, no way Monica and Rachel could afford that huge Greenwich Village apartment, especially when Rachel waitressing and Monica was a short order cook. The writers explained it away by saying it belonged to Monica's grandma and it was rent-controlled, but I ain't buying it. The Gellar family is from Long Island...were they really gonna let Grandma live in the city alone in a big apartment? lol

That grandma wasn't dead, she moved to Florida. The apartment wasn't owned, it was rent-controlled.

Maybe you're confusing this grandma with Ross and Monica's Nana, who died in Season 1.

But that damm near is the story of long Island. Grandparents raise kids in small city apt. Kids go to school, grow up and move to the island. Granny stays in the rent controlled joint because all her bridge/spades/church/temple partners are still there.

Then Nanna kicks the bucket and slacker twenty something grandkids move in. A sitcom is born.

locked in a broom closet?

And they wind up spending the next 12 hours there trying to scheme an escape plan together, when someone finally happens upon them and rescues their dumb asses before they resort to manslaughter and cannibalism.

Have *you* ever locked yourself in a broom closet? I haven't, but judging by sitcom logic it must be incredibly easy to do. Come to think of it I've never locked myself inside anything before. There was that time the power went out and my garage door didn't open, but shit even then I still had a front door and a cell phone.

or a freezer or a vault.

and it's always on a Friday after closing time

And it's usually two people who are royally pissed off at each other, so they sit there and start reminiscing on happier times and, by the time they get out, they're best buds again.

He STILL gon' keep a full wardrobe where he NEVER EVER wears the same thing twice.

All these shows take place in the city-but you never see a single minority. Black, Hispanic, Asian, freaking Guadalaharian-nothing.
The only sitcoms/shows minorities make any kind of random extra appearance on is the cop shows. I guess we all know what kind of point that's making. Or what ends up happening is the shows on UPN, where it's the exact opposite. Don't the 4 female black friends live in some upscale Los Angeles suburb? Where the hell are the white people?

As for the flipside, Drew Carey used to do a good job of having all different kinds of races on his show.
