Oh, then I guess it's hilarious after all and I was wrong to criticize it.

Sure, but that's just because real dinosaurs are more afraid of people then people are of them.

Well, given that the majority of people in the world are idiots, chances are whatever you do, you're probably an idiot.
More insight!

Wow. 6 minutes of this was more than enough. I was trying to decide whether Crystal's routine or Scharpling's was less funny. Then I realized that distinction was not cost effective as they're both unbearably terrible. I can't wait for someone to do a podcast where they break down Scharpling's breakdown of Crystal's

Not a Soap fan, eh?

This doesn't contradict anything I said. "Two witnesses of their choosing, their immediate family and the wedding party" is far fewer people than were crammed into that apartment.

It IS "terribly important" to Jewish tradition, however. I have to assume the reviewer had to look up how it was spelled, so how hard would it have been to read the definition while they were at it?

I'd argue that if nobody in the real world does it (and I've never heard of such a thing) then yeah, it's odd. But it's late, so maybe tomorrow other Jews will chime in and say, "I've been to such a party." Unless that happens though, I think it was just lazy "here's a Jewish thing I've heard about" writing. Why

I would think Howard would care but I suppose it's some kind of possible explanation.
That said, and while I don't want to be too harsh, none of that excuses the reviewer's mistaken belief that the ketubah is an event, rather than a physical object.

Was anyone else bothered by the insanely nonsensical use of time in this episode?
Jason drove to at least four separate locations in Chicago during the duration of the party which was shorter than the runtime for a single episode of a TV show? WTF?

To the reviewer: a ketubah is not an event. It's the physical marriage contract.

I'm unclear what the relative success of the two shows has to do with the busty blondes both demanding raises and only one of them succeeding.

I agree.
Don Knotts was never funny.

My favorite thing about this story isn't actually about THIS story. It's how Loni Anderson pulled the exact same stunt over at WKRP In Cincinatti. Except of course, Loni WAS irreplaceable, so she got the raise. (And I mean that. Jennifer on WKRP was one of the greatest sitcom characters of all time whereas Chrissy

I remember A good Brady Bunch movie.

Every conversation sounds like it's about sex when heard through a door.
Every. Goddamn. One.

Ugh. So "Three's Company" was a universe now? I thought it was just a galaxy of stars.

Fair enough. But as I said in a Kimmy Schmidt comment, as long as a sitcom brings the funny, everything else — be that actual character growth or out-and-out "stakes" — is just gravy.

Yeah, I don't get these kinds of complaints, either. How exactly is a zany comedy supposed to create real stakes? We know these people aren't going to die tragically, after all.

Well sure, but they're often made by people who are completely clueless and/or trying to make it look like it's for a different audience than it really is. (This being a classic example: https://www.youtube.com/wat… I skipped Hellboy in the theaters based on the terrible trailer and that turned out to be a bad call on
