Most shows need a character to bully for some reason. I guess everyone in Hollywood just chooses someone in their life to verbally abuse and they think everyone else does that too?
Also why I’d it that so many sitcoms decide to just have everyone be abusive dick wads? It’s infuriating to watch and I miss the more wholesome sitcoms
Meanwhile I can’t watch any of that shit because holy shit every character is so unbelievably hateful to each other and it’s not even in a fun well written way
“Kevin can f*** himself” is literally about that very thing. It’s not amazing and does a weird thing where it bounces between sitcom mode and…I guess thriller mode, which doesn’t always work but I appreciated the way it dealt with the sitcom bullshit of abusive relationships.
This more than most sitcoms is just abusive relationships with a laugh track. Glad it’s not getting rebooted

People love when their dysfunctional family is on a tv screen and then they feel like they’ve done nothing wrong

would you care to point out which ones didn’t feature abusive dickwads?
like that’s kind of a thing that goes back a long ways.
Charles in Charge?
When you say “more wholesome sitcom” i hear “more shitty sitcom”, like Growing Pains. which specific sitcoms are you referring to?
I know it’s animated, but Bob’s Burgers is a great example of a current “wholesome sitcom” that’s really good.
