    Nearly all of them, most seem to be racist comedy’s or stereotypes and just bullshit I can’t handle, or the plot is over used so much it’s predictable, honestly most popular TV shows are just straight up boring and to much otherism and other racism, sexism, transphobia, ECT in them. Or just about fighting each other and it’s all about drama because they don’t have the apparent ability to just simply talk to each other.

      Or just about fighting each other and it’s all about drama because they don’t have the apparent ability to just simply talk to each other.

      Classic sitcom formula. I never got into a lot of the “family” shows in the 90s, because almost every plot revolved around someone being a poor communicator - and that’s it. Person A can’t talk about event/topic Y, and now Person B assumes reason Z and the entire episode and all its hijinks only exist because of it. Everything could’ve been avoided if Person A and Person B actually talked things through, like healthy, sane people who actually want to avoid conflict. But writers couldn’t think of a way to both model proper communication and create a compelling storyline, so here we are.
