    In retrospect, while the 90s created a great batch of sitcoms, taken as a whole they look like a sleepwalk of optimism. One aspect of the sitcom is that the characters must all be liberated from obligation outside the scope of the show. The 90s friends shows featured good pay and leisure time. The post 9/11 workplace sitcom gets darker when you realize that culture was catching up to the fact that the leisure class was shrinking. These sitcoms sought liberation in the meaning of workplace relationships, since leisure was shrinking for the gainfully employed. The other strain of post 9/11 sitcom features rather poor people who may not have much except for time.

    Working class sitcoms have always been a rarity and those that did exist were rarely "smart" comedies, I think of stuff like Frasier and NewsRadio and they were basically goofing around in their white collar jobs all day but they were actually more about work than most sitcoms before and afterwards. If you think about the stuff that was mostly relevant directly post 9/11 it was often around before 9/11, from cartoons like King of the Hill or The Simpsons, what else was there that King of Queens show?

    One of the most impactful things about 9/11, to me (then a HS sophomore) was that most victims died at work, with their coworkers (with notable exceptions, like the plane passengers.) What followed, culturally, was an emphasis on banding together and appreciating the simple things. Perhaps this is a subtle reason why workplace comedies became so popular. As I wrote in my blog 15 years later: "It’s hard to explain how that idea impacts me, but I suppose one way is that I believe work is an important part of one’s life, and if it’s bad, you should look for something else, because life could be short. And that you might die next to your coworkers (or they might save your life), and you should always honor them as fellow people. Life includes work and work includes YOU - you shouldn’t just have to turn in your personality and your happiness for 8 hours a day and become a robot. Perhaps this idea, subconscious or not, shaped how my generation now approaches their careers."

    It's unrealistic to think life is short when living in a country who's government has no regrets or regards for human life. This internal attacked & false flag was the ultimate realization that popped the bubble metaphorically speaking to all Americans. Everyone who felt safe & everyone in denial who loves their country had to come to terms with such an outrageous crime against themselves & their countries freedoms. Loved ones, strangers & hero's that were there that day paid the ultimate price while the Republican & Liberal party did everything in their power to prevent justice & transparency. Anyone in their right mind who thinks or knows better is called out as a conspiracy theorists by the same scum bags who refused to do a proper investigation.

    The same, how? I mean they are diffrent stories set in dystopian worlds. The dystopian part will always be the same, that's how term definitions work. Now irregardless of the story, at some point the protagonist will at least attempt to overthrow, or break free from his/her oppressors. I don't think dystopia can be just a casual background setting. Now, if you wanted to point out that most agrarian societies portrayed in cenima turn out to be truly dystopic I could see that as a very interesting episode. Or....or, the fact that people can't accept agraria and will imagine conflict and struggle, and in some cases create it, just to cope.

    Scrubs is obviously in Southern California, probably near San Diego. From the states that they mention as out of state, we can rule out Texas and Florida, so what other state has such easy access to a beach and Sea World, and has a large enough Hispanic population that Carla is shocked and a little insulted that Eliot doesn't speak any Spanish? Has to be California, and since Sea World is in San Diego and Eliot never complains about the commute when she dates Sean who works there, boom. Has to be within 50 miles of San Diego. Other evidence: Eliot is afraid to admit she's Republican because of the heavily Democratic population, the ocean is cold, therefore must be the Pacific, not the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico, they make a road trip to Tacoma, Washington and get there within a day. The exact time is never specified, but according to Google, San Diego to Tacoma is a 19-hour drive, so doable in one day if you drive through the night, as they do. If you ever mention Scrubs in an episode, you can bet your hat I will leave a comment. I have watched and rewatched that show so many times I probably know it better than some of the people that worked on it.

    False, as of 2015 survey white people make up 73,3% of American citizens. Black people are on the second place making up 12,6%. Obviously, percentages will change from state to state and New York for example has different white/non-white ratio. Still, ethnic groups tend to keep together so same race groups are more common than mixed race ones, so shows with all white cast aren't exactly that unrealistic.

    Personally, I remember being relieved that Friends and other shows in New York City avoided the topic of 9/11. It was (rightly) everywhere. News and other media were constant reminders that an attack could happen anywhere at any moment. Entertainment was a powerful method for viewers to escape the reminder of how vulnerable the United States suddenly felt and providers were happy to oblige its audience. It seems tragic in hindsight, but at the time it was a relief.

    They should do an After Hours episode of how *Jersey Shore* managed to get so popular and how the formula of "reality TV" manipulating audiences has become such a science. It could be an intriguing topic just ripe for theories & jokes.

    I have a theory that a long-term sitcom about a bunch of friends is doomed to eventually get a little creepy, because your friends are people you generally *choose* to be with. So to have consistent conflict with characters in a show like that would eventually allude to the show being about dysfunctional relationships, which is why it's a common joke for a long-running sitcom to have a therapist character that reveals how crazy everyone is. This joke usually occurs later on in the show, and is a good way of addressing the flaws yet emphasizing why they still choose to hang out. But when it comes to workplace environments, as stated by everyone everywhere including this video, you are forced to maintain relationships with the people around you. This leads to natural conflict. In Scrubs, JD and Cox are a good example of this. Or Cox and Kelso. It's more entertaining to have a cast of characters that may hate each other for the majority of the show. But JD and Turk stands as an example of how they can have their cake and eat it, too, since they can still maintain a "great group of friends" dynamic for more stories.

    I'd argue the workplace sitcoms are just as dysfunctional, maybe moreso. A group of friends is people hanging out together because they want to, which is idealized but also strained by the demands of drama to provide story. Normal or healthy equals boring, so by definition if something is either of those, it takes place off-screen. E.g. Ross in Friends is meant to be a good father, hence most of his relationship with Ben must be healthy, normal and boring from an audience perspective. But in a workplace, if someone stays in the same place over a long period it is just stagnant. The characters aren't advancing their careers as within that workplace there are limited opportunities to challenge themselves or advance, and yet they're still prone to still become incestuous and creepy in how the characters interact and their history builds up. E.g. Their love lives and private lives which I'm sure most people would want to keep separate become completely tied to their work and their colleagues. Even worse, it's kind of dystopian in how reliant the majority of the characters are and how they are stuck there, and how work seems to dominate even their private lives, yet this is rarely critiqued and instead framed positively. You could argue how much this applies to different workplace settings, but even in better off professions it comes across as stagnant, incestuous and creepy.

    The shift from New York City to small towns in fiction has less to do with 9/11 than the fact that 95% of America lives in suburbs or small towns where you never meet people and nothing really happens ever. Making the kinds of friendships featured in Friends and Seinfeld is only possible in cities like New York. In suburban America, it is impossible to meet people, and you are forced to make friends with your coworkers, the only humans with whom you interact. Sometimes you might have friends you know from high school. And that's it. No crowds, no chance encounters, no background characters. Nowhere to go on Friday evenings. Just your workplace, your home, and the isolated drive between the two of them. This post-9/11 shift is indicative of America's urban planning crisis.
