Gary marshal was becoming a legend in his own day. Hes done the odd kcouple. Happy days were built around the family. Does richard look nice tonight . Hes got stinky stuff on his hair. Is that what that smell is . I thought the milk was sour. Not a lot of people were watching abc. In the early 70s, abc made a big mistake for not picking on families. Abc reinvented itself. They brought over fred si silverman. The fonds took it up a level. Have not seen you guys here. They were looking for someone tall and tough. And they got short and soft.

Say you go to this party and you meet this wonderful guy, do you think hes going to married you . Laverne just wanted to have a good time. What they figured out to do with making a bed and it is way beyond my pay grade. Laverne and shirley was Number One for i dont know how many seasons. It went off the chart ridiculous and it felt for us. Abc decided that they want to create a story about black teenagers. Whats happening skewed younger. There was these kids hanging out at the diner, like teenagers in the 1950s. The white kids going to the mug shop. Hey, whats up . Whats happening . Open the entire world to black teenagers who are black friends. Bettys folks is out of town so you know it is going to be the party of the year. It was based around friendship. And you had duane with the big fro. Hey, hey, whats happening . You are always broke and you cant hold down a steady job. His mother was like my mom. She beats him. Oh point. All of it. I would not say butt if i we you. It may give me an idea. The average black family could identify with it. The other thing that was happening is friendship and kids thrive on that. Without friendship, there would be nothing. When you go to the autograph signing, it is all white. You make them laugh and people dont care about the color. Anuts have given Humanity Fuel for vast Migrations Sustenance for Mountaineering Expeditions and long journeys across the world but most importantly .

This show i wanted to pay amage it is about fourteen girls trying to find their way. Divorced, virginity. Snake and i slept together. Class wars on the regular. Well, you are not prejudice, you are just a snob. Bring me down to your level. A show like Facts Of Life is the beginning of a very special episode. I would never think my Best Friend is white. I just know my Best Friend is natalie. When you look at tuty and natalie, you are looking Ats Friendship and Love Point that supercede race. I am looking for blair warner. You must be her cousin. Yes. The only time i saw a child of disability was on a telethon. I dont have cerebral palsy. I am drunk. When Facts Of Life aired, i was so used of bullying. Are you Cousin Jay from Facts Of Life. It was a real incredible feeling to be liked by kids. You mean you are not going to make fun of me and calling me names . Wow. Facts of life was a younger demographic. Eventually those kids would grow up. What story do you tell them . The 1980s were a radical transformation, how do you liver up to the ideas that you set for yourself when you were younger when dealing with the reality of having to raise children and pay a mortgage. I dont know why i can tell you why cheers were so popular in the 80s but you cert certainly know their song. We were a desperate network. I thought my future at nbc was on the line and it was a remarkably simple pitch. We want our characters to come in to a bar, share their life stories. Me . I like the challenges. Hard to find mailbox. You think accounting is boring, right . I miss one digit, the whole company goes into the toilet. Cheers was the lowest rated show in primetime on any network.

And norm who it is stupid to try to describe these iconic characters. The relationship between Sam And Diane was magical. Sorry i was late, is there anything i can do to make it up to you . Yeah, you would not. Will they or wont they . You disgust me. Are you as turned on as i am . More. Cheers was explicitly saying these two people with going to sleep together and it is going to be a disaster. Oh, i never felt better in any entire life. Nicole came, this is top secret, diane is going to break up with sam. You may be her boyfriend. Over educated and highly emotional and dreamer. I thought i can play this guy. Philly moved on after the sixth season and came christie alec. She was like this biker chip. And came woody harris. Cheers is where you fit in and belong. This is your secretary family. We lost in thnick after the year. We didnt realize how sick he was. We saw one of them after he passed away. The line was, it says if hes still with us now.

You got an area where life was throwing possibles that nobody was bothering to explore. Brant wanted to do a show of older women living together. I said i think Susan Harris is the greatest writer of all time and i worship the innovative quality so i pitched her the idea. Her question was, network just watch shows about young people. Are you going to put this on the air . Thank you for being a friend, travel the road and back again as a kid, thats right. You are sitting there on Saturday Night with my parents watching Golden Girls. This was a timeless foursome. Sofia is the matriach. I just discovered a great new way to meet more men. Dorothy. Anyone who says no calories, no charge and lets just lie down on Bed And Watch television. Of course, Roses Character is a clown. I was the one that thought of big squeaky toys. The Golden Girls talked about edgy stuff. Roses husband died by having sex with her. Although i thought it was strange when he started yelling rose, rose, i am going, i am going. Young adult audiences went crazy for it. Viewers and Network Sensors would allow older women to say things that others could not get away with. Complete this saying. Better wait than blanch . Pregnant one of the biggest laughs, the girls going on a crew and they realized they should pick up some condoms. Animal bag . To the right. Condoms, rose. C condoms. The laughs were massive because it was such Norm Br breaking behavior. Streaming open up a whole new avenue to find continued viewership with people who were not alive when the show ended in 1992. This show was built to last. How about some whipped cream . I think we still have a can. I will get it, it is in my bedroom. Never mind, glenn. We live in a peaceful and prosperous time. Leading up to the 80s. There has been a number of shows about people hanging out Each Other. Seinfield bust this right open. No one forced them to hang out with Each Other all the time.

You can do four episodes more of seinfield . The biggest change was elaine was added to the show. Get out and you know what, that feels like we have something. What do you think our time slot . Name Me One Famous Nbc Show . Cheers. It is a biggest and dangerous slot. If my mother caught me. Caught you, doing what . You know . The episode thats super important in the trajectory of seinfield was the contest. Seeing who go the longest without masturbating. Are u. S still master of your domain . I am king of the county. What should also be noted that elaine was in the contest. And that i think was a bold statement at that tiemt. Hang on. J lets go into the bedroom. That was a episode. Thats where the ultimate success of the show is born. It is over, you are out . The queen is dead. In the 90s. The world is literally changing over night. And here is this four people grounded at their addison . You mean tlshrink it. Theyre not trying to be good people. Everybody recognizes some part of themselves in dem and i think i love these guys.

Because you keep on looking for someone caring for you. Whats wrong with that . They keep on dropping your as check it out, kadija is living in brooklyn and wanting to start her own magazine. Her Best Friend maxine, i play sinclair james, a lovable and fun and super naive girl. I have not been this nervous since i lost my tube top. Well, i am sure no one noticed. Regine was in touch of her femininity. What are you making . A mans truck. It is important to have a black woman who was the show runner, Living Singles i dont know, the Club Scene was tired. Creating something so amazing and real. A year later, friends was on air. It was difficult to watch because we were getting less publicity. We were on fox, they were on nbc. Would the narrative in the competition about our success or the degree of our success is different if we were on nbc . Of course. I never watched friends because they could not possibly find a way to Add Anybody of color. It was to a certain extent of a product of the time period and of my own ignorance. There were black shows and white shows. There was not a lot of shows that were interracial. I guess at the time this is what i am thinking of this is what i know. Okay. I hear ya. We can talk about that. Friends is not based on Living Singles. Friends is based on Marta Kaufman and david cranes experiences. It is about that time of your life where your friends are your family. I am thankful that all of your thanksgiving sucked. The biggest surprise was matthew perry. He puts accents on syllables. Could we be more White Trash . When i watch friends, i didnt want monica to be a control freak. You want to push the cap until you hear them click. Matt made joey funny. Look at me, i am chandler.

Yeah, you dont have to fit in, you can still like yourself, it is okay. Smelly cat, smelly cat what are they feeding you i dont know why people like smelly cat there were many songs were funny. Maybe i dont need your money. Rachel green being sort of this spilled character off the top of the show and about Humhum Bling that character and making her independent. We knew Ross And Rachel from the pilot going to be a thing. I want to be married again. Ross and rachel made it like oh, i have to tune in this week because i want to see are they getting together . I cant believe i cant get to go to my own prom. The one with the Prom Video where rachel realizes that ross had always loved her. Bye, it is okay, chip. Oh dear. I cant believe you did that. Yeah. Well s the most memorable moments on the sitcom where they touched on something beyond the comedy. It made for a great television that a lot of people wanted to watch, literally everyone in america. I, ross, take the emily. Take the rachel we have really been on an ride with Ross And Rachel. Our goal in writing the finale was to make you believe they may not get together. I have to get on the plane. I do. No, you dont. I watched the final episode and crying as an audience member. I was there in the audience and you can feel the energy. I remember being very secr secretive. We had a big flat so people could not see. Is there any way you can let me off the no, no oh my god, did she get off the plane . I got off the plane. I also wonder why this show endorse the way it does. I do feel it is the marriage between the writing and the chemistry of the chemistry of the cast. We genuinely loved and love Each Other. Everyone just did a really good job. Thats not a good way to end it. But i mean, i think yeah. Ingo. Reason, or fun. Daring, or thoughtful. Sensitive, or strong.

Its wireless so good, it keeps one upping itself. You had in the late 90s a series of antiheroes starting with roseanne. She was still tame compared to al bundy. And now theres larry david. Larry hates me. I dont really care for him either. Take this [ bleep ] piece of pie and get it out of my face. Put the [ bleep ] pie down. Dont put that pie down. A lot of our friend groups, theyre borderline toxic. Because George Costanza was based on larry david, Curb Your Enthusiasm is actually a continuation of seinfeld in spirit. Your last name is black. Yes. Thats like if My Last Name was jew, like larry jew. Larry david the character, hes one of my Best Friends. You had sex with a Mental Patient. Shes not a Mental Patient. Shes a Mental Patient i love how much of a [ bleep ] he is. What can i tell you, larry . Sometimes youre an [ bleep ]. Well, [ bleep ]s dont go out with the disabled. Okay . Check that out. I think i like the [ bleep ] holes, you know . I like the jerks. Could you just move your legs . What are you doing . Are you looking at my breasts . He will articulate the things that people might think, but their internal editor goes dont say that. You wear that dress because you want people to look at your shoes, right . There was no thought, what will people think . If you werent my Best Friend, i would take my bare hands and pop your head off your neck. Hes not my Best Friend. Curb your enthusiasm came about at a time when sitcoms of the 90s had somewhat worn out their welcome because there had been a glut of them. In the wake of friends ending, this juggernaut for nbc, networks obviously had to find some way to make it new. Kids, im going to tell you an incredible story. The premise of How I Met Your Mother is a grown man telling his children the story of how he met their mother. It was way back in 2005. I was 27, just starting to make the Show Wasnt Sort of your traditional sitcom. It had to do with the flashback element. Is this going to take a while . Yes. 25 years ago, before i was dad, i had this whole other life. So you guys absolutely dont think i should call her . Ted, no. Get it through your thick skull okay. Okay. Fine. I wont. Interesting piece of trivia, i called her. What are you doing . It was this Ideal World where youve got your really good buddies that will always have your back. Yes, kids are not my favorite thing in the world, but i like them. You dont want to have them. I like sports cars, but it doesnt mean i want to push a ferrari through my vagina. But How I Met Your Mother fell into the trap that friends did. Its just like, were affable white people living in new york. But as we entered the 21st century, its really important to take note that these Friends Sitcoms started to reflect more cultural diversity. When You Guys First came in, we were as wholesome and healthy as the family in the brady bunch, now were as dysfunctional as the cast of the brady bunch. They come from completely different perspectives. Their Study Room is like the bar in cheers. Hey jeff winger, played by joel mchale, sort of our leader, hes this disgraced lawyer who comes back to community college. Im a student. Well, that cannot be an inspiring journey. He creates the Study Group because he wants to get in the pants of britta. Jeff and i do not have sexual tension. We just argue all the time. Oh, just like Sam And Diane. Oh, good, more of this. Chevy chase, who plays pierce hawthorn. His entire character exists to be racist and sexist. All right. You already know know brittles. Britta. Abed. Abed the arab. Is that inappropriate . Sure. Community is really creative, and i think it stood out at the time. Community ended up as this Insane Wild Ride through dan harmons mind. But what was different about New Girl, it wasnt meta. It wasnt community. It wasnt trying to make fun of the genre. Hey, schmidt oh, come on. New girl is about a woman who has been with the same guy for a long time. She comes home early from a trip and she finds him with another woman. Its just thats why i need a new apartment. Im sorry. What was the question again . Do you have any pets . And the only place she can find is an apartment with three guys, and theyre kind of like her polar opposites. Hey, guys, i brought whatcha doing . Were just chillin, just chillin. That discomfort, the girls and the guys being in the same space and theyre not together like partners, theyre together like friends, that felt unusual and fresh. I accidentally saw Nicks Peepee. What . What did she say . I accidentally saw Nicks Peepee and his bubbles. It was really important to me that all the characters on New Girl were racially diverse men, women. Not just like a cast of white people, which is like not that interesting. The fact of the matter is, i live in a loft with three people who happen to be white. But believe you me, there is so much more that i find annoying about you that i havent even gotten to race. I think thats why i do feel like New Girl was the sitcom for the millennial generation. Most of these dudes are not looking for a relationship. Yeah, this is a lot. You got to [ bleep ] a lot of frogs to get a good frog. Thats not the saying, or any saying. The next step is showing these authentic portrayals, layered portrayals. Because, yes, we gravitate toward people who are like us, but they dont have to be exactly like us in order to create these really profound friendships and communities. I have one seat in first class and one in coach. Oh. Ill uh ill take the first class. Class has always played a role in the history of sitcoms. Bubbly, laney. Class is fascinating to us as a culture. I never check my bags. I cant stand to wait in the baggage area. Its good to laugh at it, to get it all out on the table. Youre going to have to go back to your seat. You know, our goal should be a society without classes if
