That realism aspect seems to forget that the entire premise of a sitcom is to present a kind of real life that could never actually 'be' real. :-/ Hm, I don't know - they take that too far in my opinion. Maybe I'm just biased because I think Room Service is a great episode, lol.
Yeah, and I get that it’s subjective and that we all have our personal lines and things we think are out of character and drag down an episode. But I definitely think you have to make allowances for the fact that it is a sitcom. If everyone acts reasonably and you can’t just roll with some things, none of the farces even work.
Like, they also hated ‘A Man, a Plan, and a Gal: Julia’ because Daphne, Frasier, and Niles all just sat there and watched Julia choke. And yet they loved ‘Dial M For Martin’ where Niles subconsciously tried to injure his father, Daphne actually subconsciously injured him, and Frasier ignored the fact that his father was in pain because he had a date. Also ‘Deathtrap’, which I love but is blatantly absurd.
