Hello everyone, I'm Billy Harrington.
To answer this question, I have to mention my enlightenment drama "Modern Family". Although it is a common family theme and the core of chicken soup that promotes positive energy, it cannot stand up to the rare pseudo-documentary shooting methods and ingenious plot settings. This "old bottle of new wine" sitcom, which was launched in 2009, still affects many ordinary people like me.
The story of "Modern Family" takes place between three "connected" middle-class families in Los Angeles, USA. It is unique in that it develops in multiple branches of the narrative, which are summarized into the themes of each episode. This mode makes the previous laughter turn into touching, and also makes you willing to dry this bowl of chicken soup.
At the same time, it is unique in that the settings of the characters are very diverse. There are hot moms and sons from South America, and there are adopted daughters from Vietnam. There are traditional American families, there are also new types of husbands and wives... Although the content of each episode is different, what the show really wants to convey is told as early as the end of the first season premiere episode.

I don't know if it was a curse or a blessing, but the winter break of Modern Family allowed me to discover another drama, The Big Bang Theory (HEREINAFTER referred to as TBBT), which premiered in 2007 and has been broadcast since then. Domestic drama fans are familiar with it, so I don't need to bother with my words.
Unlike the core family values of Modern Family, TBBT is based on friendship and supplemented by love. However, this setting has long been played by big games such as "Friends". What's so surprising?
But you don't have to worry about who the producers of TBBT are. The famous Chuck Lorre is the producer of the hit sitcom "Two and a Half Men." He chose to tell the story of a bunch of highly intelligent nerds. The setting of the characters is eye-catching, and that's what makes TBBT unique.

Maybe everyone likes Sheldon, but I always think of Leonard as the protagonist, he is vicious, ordinary, inferior. From here, we can see the success of the character setting.
After all, there are few people in the world who can be Sheldon, but we are more or less Leonard.

In addition to the above two parts of life are guaranteed, then it is also necessary to see how to live without money in the United States. That's right, 2 Broken Sisters.
In addition to the setting of the plot and the setting of the characters, you can also work the paragraph. And "Bankruptcy Sisters" in 2011 began broadcasting ratings of 4.0, naturally has its own unique place. The character setting is already poor, there is naturally no scruples on the mouth, the meat paragraph is more than one "beautiful", and I am red in the face when I see it.
But the passage can attract attention, but it is difficult to last. If you think about Bankruptcy Sisters, what is wrapped in and urine is actually sugar, just like I prefer the translation of Dream Sisters to Bankrupt Sisters. This sugar is the "dream", and even though it is flammable as Max says, it is still sweet and worth fighting.
And have you ever watched the amount of money fluctuating at the end of the play? Have you ever watched the two sisters talk and feel sad? Have you ever watched these people in the restaurant laugh at each other but were very touched? If so, the show did succeed.
It's hard not to think of the Gallagher family, who are also shameless people, but also dare to say to God:

Although "Shameless" cannot strictly be called a sitcom, this drama is worth talking about. For example, the "battle of wits" between the people at the bottom and the police sparked my interest in the American police industry. Before watching Brooklyn Nine–Nine, "The Simpsons" was black to the police, lazy, abusive, and ineffective. To say that I have a crush on the American police is a nonsense.
The most unique thing about "Annoying Detective" is that it is deeply intentional, don't look at the usual hanging policeman and a group of colleagues quarreling, by the way to solve the case. What it wants to say is already stated in one of the episodes. The centralized police superintendent became the minister of culture, and tried to use the "best policeman" to publicize it, but was resisted by civilians. He did not back down or ignore it, choosing to frankly let the people speak out about their problems. And this paragraph completely changed my previous prejudices about this profession.
In life, the police and the people are not the opposite. They are also flesh and blood people, they can also play treasure, they will be sad, and they will also make mistakes.

Writing so much, I found that time flies so fast.
"Modern Family" to the ninth season, but no longer have the initial touch of watching, familiar with the plot development to the end is the family fun chicken soup;
In the eleventh season of "The Big Bang Theory", the protagonists almost have another half, and their lives tend to be flat, and they can only rely on emotional support;
"Bankrupt Sisters" ended in the sixth season, which is the best ending. Because hearing the meat strip doesn't seem to feel anything;
The fifth season of "Troubled Detective" is still airing, the plot is getting more and more similar, the characters are becoming more and more facial...
Why have these dramas become less good??
I think it's too long, so long that the protagonists get married and have children, and the parents are short. It's long enough that we can all predict how they think and how they do it. Why are fairy tales beautiful? It's not because it stops at its best. After all, no one wants to see Cinderella and the prince arguing over who is going to change the child's diaper.
So I'm more fond of the ending of a British sitcom.
The story of Miranda ends with Miranda finding happiness;
"Blacks Book" ends with silly clerk Manny having a girlfriend, and Bernard still guards the broken bookstore;
"Vicious" ends with two old men falling asleep hugging each other on Christmas Eve.
The total number of these episodes is pitifully small, but it is like a dream, a beautiful dream. When I woke up, I was still unfinished.
It's a lack of beauty. Unfortunately, we like these dramas too much, and we always want to be greedy for more and seek a complete. It's like being taught from an early age to "have a beginning and an end", but not knowing that many things have no end, only processes. This process is the joy and emotion I was when I first watched it, even if it is not as good as it used to be. Seems worth it too!
After all, after an update of an episode, you will still watch it!
