Didn't I write that down already? Or do you want me to be *even more* elaborate?

Except for the fact that she never put out.
They dedicated an entire episode to the aftermath of their wedding.

Yes, but by that time they were already married and in college and they had been dating for 4 seasons! (And they even re-wrote history by claiming they'd been together since they were 4 years old.) So to say she was the perfect high school girlfriend...? There was one episode in season 5 where Cory and Topanga planned to have their first time after the school prom. In the motel where they were staying, they ran into Cory's parents who were celebrating the coming of a new baby, which was actually an accident. Cory's mom said to them something like: luckily it comes at a time and age when we can deal with it. Consequently, we see Cory and Topanga leave the motel without anything happening. And all I did was yell at the screen: "Condoms! You can use condoms!" Goddamn, what a stupid conclusion! And Disney even refuses to air this abstinance-only episode, because the issue of sex is even *talked about*!

I like Roseanne, Parks and Rec, The Office, 30 Rock but I haven’t seen as many episodes of those shows as these ones I’ve listed. I got into Derry Girls this year or last (time has lost all meaning...) and I really liked it a lot but it’s too recent for me to add it to this list. I liked the first couple seasons of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt but didn’t finish the rest— I should, because I really did like the first two seasons. Everybody raves about Schitt’s Creek (and on paper I should like it...) but I’ve tried to get into it a couple times and it’s not for me. Maybe I need to try harder? Idk.
My blind spots:
70’s sitcoms- MASH, Norman Lear, Mary Tyler Moore Show (I watched a little bit of this growing up but not enough to remember any episodes. I’ve been thinking about binging it because I think I might like it)
Cheers
Friends (never seen a single episode!)
“Britcoms”— I’ve seen a fair bit of AbFab but that’s it (and even though I enjoy AbFab, I find it fairly bewildering). I think I might like Keeping Up Appearances. I don’t like Monty Python so that’s always warded me off Fawlty Towers.
1. The Golden Girls (I lean mostly towards season 4 onwards over the first three seasons, personally.)
2. Will & Grace (Mostly the first 5-6 seasons.)
3. Mama's Family (Only the second half when it re-sets, when Iola / Bubba are part of the show.)
4. Community ~ Something I watched for the first time in the past couple of years, and I really loved it. I watched The United States of Tara around the same time. I love that show's first season, but it totally collapsed by the end of its final third season and ruined everything I liked about it.
5. The New Adventures of Old Christine
6. Designing Women
7. The Nanny
8. Roseanne (the middle seasons)
9. That 70's Show (Cut off the last couple of years.)
10. Living Single
I've been recently watching Schitt's Creek for the first time. While I don't mind it, I'm just not getting the enormous fanfare so far either? And I've been watching a lot of Mom lately. I think that's only because I happened to catch a few episodes from the later seasons one day and enjoyed them more than I remembered the show being from my memory of it (when it first started years back). Then I started to put it on in the background as it marathons during the day and I can say now that the show became so much better when it grew to be less about children and family issues, and more about the group of women at the Alcohol's Anonymous meetings. The teenage daughter especially was unbearable.
For some reason Wikipedia lists shows like South Park, Daria, etc. under sitcoms, but I just don't really think of animated shows as sitcoms? I guess that's medium bias. I just think of SP as more satire. Daria makes sense, I suppose.
Listening to most often lately:
Taylor Swift ~ ~ "The Fate of Ophelia"
Taylor Swift ~ "Eldest Daughter"
Taylor Swift ~ "CANCELLED!"
