The New Kind Of Sitcom
It used to be that sitcoms were a thing you could dip in and out of an episode at a time. Still, more and more sitcoms are leaning into the idea that they can tell a complete narrative (see: You’re the Worst, The Good Place, Atlanta, Bojack Horseman, and more). The results are sitcoms with a lot of depth to them that you didn’t see quite often before.
In the 90s, the format had to fit 30 minutes pieces that could be watched out of order and still make sense.
