    B99 was a very good comedy that took place in an absolute fantasy world.

    But hey, that’s sitcoms for you. Nobody in Big Bang Theory has to spend a season wiggling out of date rape allegations. Nobody in 7th Heaven gets molested by a priest. Nobody in Cheers beats their spouse.

      Well, yes. If you expect any TV show to be a 100% unbiased, accurate representation of reality, you’re an idiot.

      That doesn’t mean they can’t address societal issues in a meaningful way.
