Okay, how come Britta kissed Troy last week if she was boinking Jeff the whole time? How am I supposed to reconcile my FEELINGS?
I also love that none of the clips were clips, and I love that they went completely insane with them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I've now read the article. I can't take the author seriously when he says things like,
The greatest live-action sitcom of all-time, Seinfeld is essentially the reason Must See TV exists.
Really? Not Cosby? Or Cheers? They made NBC kings of Thursday nights. (I preferred Night Court, but I realize that's a minority view.)

Now, i think Night Court's better, but then I didn't.

This episode actually made me a bit sad that I never gave The Cape a chance. Oh, Abed.
Yes, The Cape bits were hilarious, especially "It might gain a second life on cable"

Trust my rage
I don't even remember the set-up but one of my favorite TV moments ever involved Frasier walking in dressed in a Jesus constume and Niles shouting "Jesus!"

They made NBC kings of Thursday nights.
But I don't think they used the slogan "Must See TV" then.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That is such a great episode, Stephanie.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
the only reason i ever watched Frasier was for Niles (Frasier himself annoyed the #$$%^ out of me unless he was bantering with his brother or dad).
I have hazy memories of a sitcom featuring Niles, his anorexic red-headed wife (played by the actress who was also Eve on Northern Exposure) and her parents. Her dad was a congressman or some kind of politico. It was funny, but i only saw a couple of episodes in my great-aunts basement and never heard of it again. Pretty sure i wasn't hallucinating. I suspect that show didn't go far.

Niles was great, as was John Mahoney. When KG was on, he was very good, but he could be overbearing. That fit the character, but doesn't make it any less annoying. I also loved it whenever Lilith showed up, but I loves me some Bebe.
