I should clarify, roare, that I don't think any sitcom is truly rooted in reality (although Roseanne and All in the Family came close), but after Friends, it was all lifestyle porn. You're right…fantasy was a feature element of the shows you mention, so maybe Friends isn't so much a tonal shift for all time, but it…

If anything, it'll get BETTER now that summah's almost over. The show's been light on bits…there haven't been any "Red Foo or Sky Blue"-type quizzes, or nearly enough Sloppy Timmy or Lee appearance…so hopefully Howard has a little more time to concoct some goofs.
