>Drew is supposed to be a schlubby loser
>Constantly dating hot women

Why was this a thing in 90's sitcoms?

And yet despite all that, he still complained about being a loser
>>
>>218225952
the standards for being a loser have shifted a lot since the 90's to accommodate the manchild epidemic

Its "Moon over Parma," a city in the west side of Cleveland

I remember watching this as a kid and thinking how funny it'd be if Christa Miller and Katy Selverstone started making out lol

>Watching S1
>It's pretty fun
>Get to an episode where a trans woman is treated as a running joke

Yikes

this show was so surreal

When was it ever said he was supposed to be "schlubby loser" (in the early, sane seasons before the show got experimental)?
He's chubby, that's it. He's hard working, talented, smart enough to keep outwitting his insane psychopathic bosses, has his shit together, a decent house, good things, good friends. It's never been suggested he's a "schlubby loser" at all.

You're projecting your own failed life a bit, methinks.

>schlubby loser
Uh, no? Are you confusing him with Al Bundy?
He was an everyman

His friends constantly tease him about not having sex (Even when he's in a relationship weirdly)

Any lacey chabert cheesecake?

Theres an episode where drew dies but there's a mix up in heaven so instead of going to the afterlife drew is reincarnated as his nephew. So drew is birthed by mimi and then breastfed by her, all the while he is fully conscious and basically in a "locked in" state screaming in protest in his mind. This is all well before the series gets really weird at the end when they kept trying to retool it to avoid being canceled. By the end drew is a broke lunch lady who confides in a magical negro bus driver, sweet dee from always sunny is the new mimi, and his love interest is a stripper he used to babysit.
