I know we could make a growing list of great theme songs that tell the story of the show. One of the best would have to be Gilligan’s Island. What theme songs (other than Cheers) do you have?
ReplyYeah, my GF and I tried to watch Everybody Loves Raymond with her 14 year old. He immediately said, “Oh I hate when they have the laughing, it feels so fake.” I tried to explain that it was real people laughing and he was not interested and left.
ReplyWhat’s the problem..??
ReplyShort ass attention spans.!!
Something else to thank the internet for.
We can’t get a proper 25 episode season anymore cause they know peyote probably won’t make it to the end. Hell they’ve actually been experimenting with 10-15 minute episodes with some shows.
Can we get clips from a different episode
ReplyI’m a little confused though, did Sunny or Curb get canceled? Or are both Conan and James only labeling 4 cams as “real Sitcom” suddenly which seems… weird? And might get Conan a good ass whooping from his best frenemy Will Arnett 😀
ReplyConcerning the lack of Sitcoms. In an earlier clip it was mentioned that the ocean of TV shows has gotten wider but more shallow. In pointing that out it was also mentioned the amount of great comedy writers has stayed the same. I would imagine it’s very difficult to have a Sitcom w/o even halfway decent comedy writers. Considering how many current comedy shows aren’t that funny I’m guessing there are not too many writers out there to get a new Sitcom off the ground. Any writer that wants to pursue comedy can still be on a writing staff of another genre and add in comedy where it’s wanted.
Reply“SKIP INTRO”.
Replythe big bang theory was and still is a great one.
ReplyI also really enjoyed Mom (both Chuck Lorre’s) and folks also mentioned Modern Family which is fun.
Then came the era of nudity and violence, and the laughter subdued
I think the Upshaws qualifies as a quality contemporary sitcom as well as those mentioned by Mr. Burrows
ReplyYoung Sheldon
ReplyWho’s that Joe Burrow’s dad
ReplyHey Conan, you just like the dude that made the F1 theme, please make a video if that
ReplyThe most recent show with a really great intro I can recall off the top of my head was *Bojack Horseman* , and even that was definitely shorter than the older TV intros, but it had great music and great visuals and told the overarcing story of the show. That show felt so amazingly fresh when it came out but it already feels dated. I think it was a bridge from old TV media to new TV media. Great stories and characters though.
ReplyI really loved this episode, seeing Conan nerd out with such a legendary writer is a joy.
ReplyBurrows is forgetting his own account from a prior interview where he said they originally sent an album of songs and the Cheers team fell in love with one called “People Like Us” but they weren’t allowed to use it because it was about to be used in a musical. Instead they wrote “Everybody Knows Your Name” and sent that.
