PEL Presents PMP#145: Growing Up Sitcommed

<p>Mark, Sarahlyn, Lawrence, and guest Landen Celano from the <a href="http://gruntworkpodcast.com/">Grunt Work podcast</a> talk about talk about our ambivalence toward the three-camera, laugh-tracked half-hour comedies that filled our childhoods. Why did some of these stand the test of time? Are some shows well suited for hate-watching or background watching? Why the Night Court reboot doing so well?</p> <p>We touch on some new shows like <em>Kevin Can F*** Himself</em> and <em>Reboot</em> that reflect on sitcom tropes, shows that subverted the format even at the time (Norman Lear), the juggernaut that is Chuck Lorre, catch phrases, and our memories of <em>Three's Company</em>, <em>Happy Days</em>, <em>Good Times</em>, <em>Saved by the Bell</em>, <em>A Different World</em>, etc.</p> <p>For more, visit <a href="http://prettymuchpop.com/">prettymuchpop.com</a>.
