    Puck from Gargoyles decided to mimic the most serious person he could find and serve a billionaire. All because he thought it would be hilarious. This is chaotic neutral. This continues to blow my mind.

        Hmm, I think the family leading up to the show seems like it might be kinda Arrested Development, but during the show I don’t think they really ever do anything “evil”.

          I was thinking evil more in terms of the system that allows people to be rich and lazy in that manner, then they grow as a family over the course of the show until they are definitely good, but still definitely chaotic.

    I didn’t think I actually watch a lot of TV, but fuck me, I’ve seen pretty much every episode of every one of these shows, minus Brooklyn 99. Made it like 3 seasons and got bored with it.

      If you liked every one of those shows, I can guarantee you that you’ll like the rest of B99. Early seasons focus a lot on Jake, Holt and Amy, but later seasons get more variety in leads and storylines. There’s a bunch of very good recurring concepts too, comparable to the Community paintball episodes. The series only gets stronger as it progresses imo.

        I dunno, man. I liked all the other shows from the get go except for parks and rec (season 1 was bad). Going like 3 seasons and deciding to stop watching… Prolly just not going to do it for me.

    All these are good (although I never saw the end of The Office), but I’m chaotic evil. IASIP is my all time favourite US sitcom (Peep Show being my favourite UK sitcom).

      Evil is my favorite row here. Scrubs shares my #1 spot with 30 Rock, but only because of how much heart it has. The only show that matches the evil row for number of laughs for me is Community.

      Chaotic Evil. Always Sunny is Seinfeld without trying to make the characters likeable, which as a huge Seinfeld fan, I felt was the biggest detriment to the show, and probably done so Jerry Seinfeld felt better acting in it as himself. What with being a groomer and all.

            Yes, sorry, used the wrong word, was doing accounting while writing. I meant that an average person looks at the Sunny characters and doesn’t think they want to be them, where as I’d argue only George (and maybe Kramer) were that in Seinfeld.

              George I can kind of understand despite him having a semi decent life but kramer seemed to be a pretty happy guy

                I used to think Kramer was harmless and happy. Then I had a longtime friend who was very similar. Charismatic, fun to hang out with, and manipulative and disorganized as hell. Drama, always needing things, and causing issues. Didn’t think Kramer was that nice after, and throughout the show you see him mooching off of Jerry.

                  I’ll admit I forgot about the mooching but I don’t think he’s any more manipulative than the rest of the gan, even jerry but that could be because jerry gets more screen time, with how you talk about drama I don’t think a sitcom life would agree with you since there really isn’t much of a show without drama

            I don’t know I feel like I can kind of relate to kramer minus the N word thing but that was outside the show and after it I think

        and his shit eating grin when confronted about his support for IDF and israel, plus his wife is also funding anti-protest groups. i felt like the other actors in seinfeld is what made it funnier than him alone, and with him alone he is kinda of a lame duck, given how he acted when people wouldnt laugh at his jokes.

        ISAIP was chaotic evil to become neutral, in the later seasons. from season 13 on, they switched.

      I feel like there’s gotta be a separate chart entirely for the late-'80s/mid-'90s sitcoms. Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld, Roseanne, Home Improvement, Wings - that’s an argument in and of itself.

      But they’re definitely not in any box with “Good” under it.

        I think by the rules of the chart meme some have to be good maybe home improvement and friends ot sure about the rest
