I remember watching great series on TV in the 90's. Like X Files, The Pretender, Sliders, Highlander, Eureka, Home Improvement, Futurama, and alike. I clearly remember that uprising feeling of watching something good with snacks and beer. They were written by good people. You can feel they cared about content. Then, I woke up in the XXI century saying WTF? All these writers are basically unemployed now, because fucking Hollywood doesn't need good writers anymore.

It's over the top goofy. Think it just has that nostalgia factor of simpler times

Lol!

Okay, yeah. I am pretty sure we were taking everything super serious again and being all, "I do not find any of these characters relatable or lifelike!" All harumphy and scroogely.

If you're looking for a non jewy similar comedy I'd suggest "the middle". Janitor from Scrubs is the dad, and the little kid strangely looks like dewey from malcolm in the middle.

Nah, not watching TV is working out for me well enough. But thanks, though.

I kind of like The Rookie, though... even though it seems like every episode they tease the audience with hints that the show might suddenly go SUPER SJW at any second, but up to wherever it was I left off it actually hasn't quite gone there. Yet. Pretty sure I've missed at least an episode or two, but maybe it got pre-empted by some sportball bullshit or something, idunno. Don't watch it religiously, but I might go out to the living room and watch it with ma if it's on.
