One of the cool things they do in the doc is at the beginning have the name of the series in the style of classic sitcoms (17 by my count). Who can name them all?

I dunno, I’d say #6 is the best.

opus · 07-15-2021, 05:07 PM

I’m with you on the ones you filled in.

6 TV Legend said is Living Single, so I’ll buy that unless someone says it’s not. 11, doesn’t the “ish” kind of give it away? And 17, although I’ve never seen the show, I think it’s Modern Family.

10 is still the thinker. Is Caroline in the City big enough in the classic sitcom sense to have its logo included?

theoneandonlytvqueen · 07-16-2021, 01:34 AM

1) I Love Lucy
2) Bewitched
3)Mary Tyler Moore Show
4) Home Improvement
5) Happy Days

I thought it could be Black-ish, but then second-guessed myself, since none of the others were so recent.

Probably not. that was just my random guess, based on the fact I remember it had an animated opening; from what I recall "Caroline" was a cartoonist. That was my train of thought, anyway.
