![]() Given that the show dragged on for years with little to offer viewers and a disastrous final season, it makes morbid sense no one else wanted to touch another sitcom of this variety afterward.īut all is not lost. The fact that How I Met Your Mother overshadowed many better shows during its prime probably contributed to this development. There have been several fine comedy shows in the 2010s, but they all either stopped before 2020, and/or started during the How I Met Your Mother craze. What show continued the tradition from 2015 onward with 8 seasons? The truth is, there isn’t one. But what came after that? These three shows follow each other perfectly from 1982-2014. the 80s had Cheers (1982-1993) for 11 seasons, then came Friends in the 90s (1994-2004) for 10 seasons, How I Met Your Mother in the 2000s (2005-2014) for 9 seasons. The funny thing is, I was wondering what the next big sitcom would be that defines a generation. And now I actually feel honoured, knowing what these characters grow to be over six seasons. I was mostly Abed, but also Annie and Jeff and least like Shirley and Pierce. I went back to the quiz, halfway through season 3 and checked my results again. ![]() ![]() My reaction? “Well, this is starting out fun, but I am nothing like Abed.” But I continued watching and before I knew it, I realised, there’s more of Abed in me than I realised. Then finally, one lazy day, I watched the pilot. Was it a coincidence? And was getting invested in an old show that has long ceased to be aired really worth it to satisfy my curiosity?įor days I resisted the temptation. The same day, I logged on to Netflix and my first recommendation was Community, a show then trending on Netflix as #3. A character on some show called Community I had never heard of before. ![]() I am apparently 70% like the character Abed Nadir. But seeing as the world seemed to be ending, I gave it my full attention to distract myself from reality. Had it been a normal day, I would have ignored the quiz. It contained a statistically accurate quiz that would determine which TV or Literary character I was most like in over 120 questions. During the coronavirus lockdown, just before things turned really busy for me, a friend sent me a link to a fun little page. Ladies, and gentlemen, I believe I have found that show. One way or another, it would have to be overtaken by a show with the same potential that simply managed to hang on and keep flying. However, secretly, I always knew that Firefly would not be able to stand the test of time, simply because it was so short-lived. It’s diversity and rich human storytelling in only 14 short episodes (and one movie) was breathtaking. In a piece from a couple weeks ago, Vice takes a detailed look at why being famous on the internet has its own unique challenges.For years I declared to anyone who would listen that Firefly is and always will be the greatest show ever made.

Pitchfork has a nostalgic love letter to the physical media that will remind you of the good times you had flipping through a Case Logic binder.

The New York Times sat down with the creator of the show, Melissa Rosenberg, who has also penned the doom and gloom for Dexter and Twilight. Jessica Jones returns to Netflix in less than a week, and thanks to a couple of trailers, we know it's going to be dark and angry.
