Anyone else not watch any current sitcoms? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

counrfk · 10-20-2017, 10:28 AM

I don't watch any current sitcoms. In fact, I don't even know many of the names. I couldn't even tell you. I watch mostly DVDs of older sitcoms. I can't think of any sitcom that I watch that went past the year 2000. To me, the 1990s was the last decade of good sitcoms. I did watch a little bit of "Fuller House", and I plan to watch the "Roseanne" reboot. But this is only because I watched the original shows. I don't know what it is. I just can't seem to become interested in current sitcoms. Maybe it has to do with the fact that we now have hundreds of channels and hundreds of shows, and it's hard to pin one down to watch. Used to, there were fewer channels and fewer options. Still, the shows of yesteryear just seem to be better quality than those today.

The only current sitcom I watch is "Will & Grace".

It's been months since I've watched any current sitcoms. I used to frequently watch The Big Bang Theory, The Middle and The Simpsons. The latter two I'll probably watch again at some point.

Chocolate Moose · 10-20-2017, 10:47 AM

I'm with you. The quality has become really terrible.

Right now, I'm working my way through The Andy Griffith show on Netflix and dvds of Gomer Pyle USMC from the library.

I don't watch any current sitcoms either. I only watch shows pre 2000.

I don't watch any current sitcoms. I've tried "The Big Bang Theory" & "The Middle" but they both are trash to me.

stevea · 10-20-2017, 12:00 PM

I see the Middle once in awhile but that is it.

1960'sTVfan · 10-20-2017, 12:45 PM

My favorite decade for sitcoms is by far the 1960's. The 60's had many great sitcoms.

Some 1950's sitcoms and some 1970's sitcoms are OK too, it depends on the show.

Sitcoms from 1980 and forward, I don't like them and don't watch them.

I don't watch any sitcoms or dramas etc. made during the 2000s. In my opinion 2000s TV is unwatchable.

BigManMike · 10-20-2017, 12:49 PM

I watch the Big Bang Theory from time to time but that’s about it.

Bonniegirl · 10-20-2017, 01:56 PM

The only recent show that I really like is Mike and Molly!

Other than that, same here , I can't get into any of the current sitcoms at all!!

Besides old shows, the only new shows I watch are real life crime on IDTV!!

principehomura · 10-20-2017, 03:16 PM

The only recent ones I enjoyed a bit were Suburgatory (a comedy, not exactly a sitcom), and Melissa & Joey (although never cared for it too much, just watched randomly some episodes).
I tried something, but I was alway bored.

To me the problem with current comedies are three: gross humour, excessive pop-culture references, and soap-box forced thought.

I haven't watched any current sitcoms in over a year. There are some that I like TBBT, The Middle, The Goldbergs, Fresh off the Boat and Mom but they just aren't appointment tv to me anymore.

The only current shows I watch are Chicago PD, Chicago Fire and Blue Bloods. Most nights I just watch shows I DVR'd off ME-TV like Cannon and TJ Hooker.
