We've been so hard at work investigating sitcom tropes from the 60s to present day that we've neglected to post about our recent episodes!

We tackled sitcoms at the superbowl with Seinfeld, Married with Children, The Simpsons and Everybody Loves Raymond!

We continued our study of long-running rivalries with Cheers, Community, How I Met Your Mother and Brooklyn 99!

And we traced the evolution of sitcom surprise parties with Dick Van Dyke, Major Dad, Big Bang Theory and The Middle!
