Current Events > King of Queens might be the most forgettable sitcom in the world

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dudes just followed every sitcom trope and did nothing with the format at all but it somehow became the last 90s sitcom to leave the air or something like that

Good theme song though

Anger Management has a hundred episodes. Find anyone thats watched it.

Most multi-camera TV sitcoms after the mid 90s were bland and forgettable.

unhappily ever after

I'll always remember it for implying Patton Oswalt's character had a massive penis.

And for that scene where he was really just in the background without any lines, so he stood completely still in one spot with no expression for a full scene scene.

Charlie Sheen's show, right? Yup, totally forgot it existed until now, lol. I have seen it a few times, but it wasn't anything great.

8 Simple Rules

I only know about it because John Ritter died in the middle. And Pete Davidson's mom was in it apparently...

Arthur was the best part about the show.

Other than that, it's the kind of show I'd watch if I was bored and channel surfing, but I'd never plan or go out of my way to watch it.

It's fine, it's way better than According to Jim or Last Man Standing. Maybe not as good as Home Improvement or Roseanne.

sure seems like there's a lot of people remembering it today to idk what that does to your hypothesis.

Wasnt that the show that had a fucking ridiculous 100 episode order after like the first episode because it was during the peak of the Charlie Sheen Tiger Blood meme and once that meme died a week later they were still forced to make like 97 more episodes that nobody watched.

I love it

That Grounded for Life show was pretty good but I never hear anyone talk about it

Disagree, it still crosses my mind on rare occasion and see it randomly posted about on CE sometimes. There's many I watched that are much more forgotten.

Last Man Standing

This.

Who actually remembers that Tim Allen had a sitcom after Home Improvement? That just ended in 2021? That got nine seasons?

I'd say Still Standing and Yes, Dear are more forgettable. To be fair though, they didn't run as long.

Wasnt there a sitcom recently that had bowling as a major show theme?

Counter argument;

My eyes are getting weary

It's extremely notable what are you talking about. It's infamously the first/only sitcom where the hot wife of the fat husband character leah remini becomes just as fat as he is (though still slightly attractive, just grotesquely fat)

There's also American Housewife which ran for over 100 episodes and I've only ever seen once by accident and have never heard anyone talk about

The wife is hot as fuck tho

I watch the reruns a bunch. One of the things I like about it is that it's one of the few tv shows where the main characters dress down when they're just hanging out at home.

I remember watching both shows back in the 2000s and being into them... but I was a teen, heck there was a time I even watched according to Jim.

Yes dear is notable for beating modern family to the punch of thin husband/dad to the hot wife which breaks the stereotype of the fat husband/dad character

Is that the one with Charlie sheen after two and a half men canned him?
Think I saw the first episode. Charlie seemed like he was playing the same exact character but the supporting cast just wasn't as good

I think shows like it and according to Jim are watched by middle America by the millions and that's how they go on to have fucking 9 seasons. Just simple folk, salt of the earth kind. You know,

Yes, Dear is notable for having that cute, innocent wife character make a reference to a hentai comic called Overfiend, getting notably excited when she describes it, and then having her father-in-law find his "son's" Japanese porn in the guest bedroom nightstand.

What the fuck. Yeah I've never heard of it. I'm assuming it wasn't great.

Arthur was the best thing about that show

Married with Children was the best.

Yes, Dear was the most middling.

What was the concept? Two couples live together. That. Was it.

I actually liked KoQ. The timing and characters had a lot of chemistry. The dad character stole every scene he was in. I think it is the most underrated sitcom.

Arthur was the best, period.

Drew Carey > other sitcoms...except for Married with Children...

what

She was irl pregnant. And she never got as big as Kevin.

As a matter of fact, looking at pics online, she never got fat. It looks like it is just weird internet people thinking someone who isnt super thin is gross.

She was one of the best sitcom wives ever. She was funny, looked great, and was a fully fleshed out character.

Can't Hurry Love, anyone remember that one from 1998? It was CBS's attempt at the Friends formula. It also starred Mariska Hargitay as a ditzy bimbo right before SVU started.

There was a CBS workplace comedy. I cant remember the name, but it starred a redhead named Claude. I cant even remember the name.

Not even close.

It wasn't great by any means, but it was a little more than that. Greg was a stuffy, nerdy film executive with a stay-at-home supermom wife, Kim. Kim's sister Christine and her husband Jimmy, both kinda white trash, were staying in their guest house.

I thought it was better than Raymond because Doug wasn't afraid of his wife.

I had to look this up to verify and wtf at Season 2 having 90 episodes lol.

The writers weren't afraid to give Carrie noticeable flaws either.

In all seriousness, this. The most forgettable sitcom isn't one you remembered and posted about here. It's one of hundreds of ones from over the decades that lasted one season and you have, in fact, forgotten.

I think I remember that show, Andy Dick was in it, Honestly CBS was rare in my house, I only caught it a few times out of a curiousness for what then current Drew Carry show was like or then current Spin City after Fox left the show and neither of them interested me so back to UPN I went.

I think that was Less Than Perfect.

It aired on FX I think. And I wanna they had the same filming schedule that TBS had for those Tyler Perry sitcoms where they filmed episodes back to back to back to get to syndication faster. Then they dumped them all on TV at once

Now watch Heil Honey I'm Home!

Whatever that show was, forgettable is not it.

yes!

The Pilgrim themed sitcom Thanks only lasted a few episodes so maybe it's not fair competition but it was pretty dreadful and is understandably forgettable.
