Then, the domestic comedy concept is examined. Shows include "The Goldbergs," "I Love Lucy," "The Honeymooners," "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "All in the Family," "The Cosby Show," "Roseanne" and "Seinfeld."

I love those shows! I'm sure they will show them in Seattle again soon! I didn't know this but those shows are sponsered by the Seinfeld Foundation. Yep, THAT Seinfeld. It's an organization that gives scholarships to high school students. Very cool!
