Default I would like to see more poetry on sitcoms

I would also like to see a greater variety of dialogue. In addition, I think they should make sitcoms as bizarre as possible. Why should a sitcom make sense? Why should anything make sense?

In addition, how about a sitcom that takes place in a war zone like Iraq? However, it might be a good idea to get rid of the canned laughter.

Recently, I have just been to a public hospital. There were over a hundred people there with medical problems, and very few of them received medical care. It's not like Hollywood.

They did have a sitcom in a war zone called MASH. I don't think a sitcom in Iraq would go over well. Steven Bochco did a war drama set there this year called Over There and it was a flop. People aren't ready for it.

I think lots of people liked it.

Yeah, I grew up watching lots of sitcoms, but MASH was one of my favorites.
