I was looking at a bunch of titles of shows- Various-
Golden girls, Empty Nest, Family Ties, Facts of life- etc.
I notice a theme, there is always one serious type. One airhead. One slut.
Almost always....
Are we so predictable as humans that this format is now the generic expectation?
Or is it just a format that works so well, we recycle it over and over-
If so, do we recycle it because we like it- or because we expect it.
I can think of very few shows that don't have this.
Wings, Bosom Buddies, 227, Cosby Show
I am sure there are some exceptions but...the top 75 shows I thought of- had these 3 archtypes.
