Ooh, ok, Top 5 TV Comedic shows?

Putting them in chronological order rather than ranking because ranking changes based on my mood.

1. The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Smart writing with a great ensemble cast.

2. Newhart: Another great ensemble cast (some of the best side characters of all time) in a show that's wonderfully absurd.

3. Cheers: Fantastic characters with hilarious interactions, wonderful explorations of class differences, wonderful blend of sharp character writing and absurd farce.

4. Corner Gas: So smart and so stupid all at once. Another great ensemble cast, and a level of absurdity and meta-humor far beyond any other show on this list.

5. Psych: Yes, I count it as a comedy, because that's what I watch it for. I'm rewatching some of it right now. It's a riot.

In case peeps were wondering what Nadja's hypnotic perfect show ending was referring to, it was indeed one of the best tv show finales of all time!!

I figure if I just complain here, I won't bother other people on their posts -- so yeah, I'm kinda sub-reblogging.

But, also, you can just say you didn't like something without trying to rationalize it with stuff which is objectively not true.

(And also, are there people who seriously didn't get that the three hallucination "perfect" endings are all direct spoofs of specific pieces of media that critically were described as having "perfect" endings? I've seen people picking them apart seemingly missing the basic context.)

The thing about the Newhart ending is it isn’t just Nandermo ship resolution. It’s also a conclusion to their ongoing arcs. Both of them ultimately want to be just common, normal American guys, but Nandor was a medieval Ottoman warlord who became an even more powerful vampire and Guillermo was a Van Helsing descendant. Both coped by first desperately trying to pursue and enjoy vampirism and then desperately trying to pursue and enjoy humanity, with some back and forth. And it never works out because they’re still stuck in that dark supernatural world.

I think the reason Guillermo ultimately chose to stop being a vampire wasn’t because he couldn’t bring himself to kill but because he knew that Nandor didn’t really enjoy being one and an equal relationship with that backing angst wouldn’t be worth it.

The Newhart ending is where they get to be just an average human spouse in an average domestic human sitcom.
