We are in a sitcom drought.

This episode starts with a casual conversation about Power, character theories, and the depth of long-form storytelling—and ends with a bigger realization about what’s missing in modern television. I break down how we went from sitcoms that felt lived-in and familiar to a landscape where comedy feels less consistent, less character-driven, and more focused on speed than longevity. I talk about shows like The Bernie Mac Show, Friends, King of Queens, and Smart Guy, and why those worlds still stick in memory years later. This isn’t just nostalgia. It’s a reflection on storytelling, culture, and why it feels harder to find shows you actually grow with over time. We also touch on modern universes like Power and even Grand Theft Auto, and how those worlds still prove audiences will commit deeply when the writing and characters are strong enough. At its core, this is about one question: what happened to sitcoms that felt like home?
