Gen Z doesn't watch sitcoms. It's an outdated format. Gen Z watches IShowSpeed, Clavicular, and Nick Fuentes.

Why are they called sitcoms anyway? Any comedy requires a 'situation' for context regardless if it's a sketch or comedy drama or whatever else.

Gen Z's humor regressed to 1920s clown funny faces and slapstick skits that are only 30 seconds long. Sitcoms require a plot and talking for at least 20 minutes. This overloads their broccoli brains.

Capitalist mandated stagnation. You WILL consume recycled, revived, zombified reboots of 20th century television. You will NOT develop, you WILL recede into the past and crawl and curl into a comfortable and still lifelessness.

Gen Z can't sit and watch an entire episode

Sitcoms used to be based around the syndication model where networks would pump out 24 episodes using stock actors and sets. And then sell those episodes again and again to smaller networks all over the world. Instead of selling the syndication rights once, they would renew the contracts every few years. Meaning networks would spend millions making TV shows, but those shows would net them billions in syndication over the years. You can’t do that with streaming for a multitude of reasons.
>>
>>219204251
Ehh, there's still a way to make it work in the streaming era, the issue is more than all the people working in streaming bought into the "prestige TV" bullshit and turn their nose up when asked to make episodic shows on a tight budget.

If you look back at shows like Star Trek or whatever, most of their episodes use the same handful of sets and some subset of the regular cast paired with a cheap character actor or two as guest stars. Sitcoms largely took place on two or three unchanging sets and maybe one extra soundstage they could "dress" as somewhere else for the handful of occasions they actually wanted a character to physically be somewhere else rather than just talk about having been there to make a joke. You could still make a 16-20 episode annual show on the cheap like that today for six or seven years running and be spending the same amount of money they happily piss away on some hyper-serialised 6-10 episode pretentious trash that only gets three seasons in the same time and there's clearly still an appetite for those kinds of shows with the audience, so for the streaming service at worst it would be a wash financially.

They don't make them because the writers, the showrunners, the EPs and especially the actors think they're above "lowbrow stuff" like sitcoms. And most of them - once again especially the actors - are lazy fucks who don't want to commit to working for that long. They want to come in, knock out their actual gainful employment in a couple of months like they do with movies, and then fuck off back to partying or making pretentious arthouse shite that nobody wants to watch.

Here comes the retarded, self-important millennial who thinks he's so great because he likes gay shit for women like Friends.

>networks would spend millions making TV shows
But now they spend way more on shows, not less. That's one of the reasons new shows have at most ten episodes a season instead of 24.

Yes, I do look Seinfeld and I am Gen Z. People who take pride in being Millennials usually do like some gay shit like Friends or something.

>>219203707
Considering the slop millennials had for sitcoms, zoomers aren't missing much. Sitcoms peaked in the 90s.

This is just a bullshit comment, Gen Z never even had sitcoms, they died along with laughtracks.
>>
>>219208385
70% of shows on Disney and Nickelodeon were sitcoms in 2002-201X. It's far more common than you think, but I don't think it translates into those people liking sitcoms when they're older, unfortunately.

Hard to write a modern comedy when almost everything you could show is going to make someone scream and shit their pants for being "problematic"
>>
>>219203707

Hard to say now that comedy´s been banned and all suits can think about is remakes and sequels... maybe they don´t need one since we live in a clown world anyways.

The only reason you like Seinfeld is because of the 4chan hivemind having a boner for that garbage show.

Doesn't matter if you don't physically have one you're spiritually and mentally a retarded broccoli head.

You just can't make a comedy nowadays that pokes fun at anybody except rich whites. Even super pozzed shit like Parks & Rec and Brooklyn 99 simply could not be made nowadays.

Care to elaborate? Because I kinda feel like I understand your point
