| Nobody ever knocks, you notice that? They just open the door and walk in to a room. Every show. |

I thought you were going to say that trouble with sitcoms is they become the same show week after week. I don't even start sitcoms anymore because no matter how promising they are they will become the same boring formulaic show given time and popularity.

| I totally disagree! When are they supposed to knock but don't? |

He also farted in the episode with the cruciferous vegetables. |

I agree...That is so freaking funny.
And if someone does knock, no one takes a second to make sure the person at the door is not a telemarketer or serial killer, etc. And rarely do people check their caller ID before answering a call. Just like reality shows, sitcoms are pretty much scripted. |

The laugh track!
I can't stand the laugh track on sitcoms. So annoying. |

Um, sitcoms aren't "pretty much" scripted. They ARE scripted (and nobody associated with them pretends otherwise). |

They also spend most of their time standing in front of their sofa, talking to each other. Who does that in real life? I don't think I've ever stood in front of my sofa to have a conversation.
And when they can't sleep, they just go sit at their kitchen table. |

| On Seinfeld everyone who didn't live in the building had to buzz to be let in. They showed that all the time. |
