The sitcom is one of the most reliable formats in TV history for a reason. Situational comedy — characters stuck together in a recurring setting, same problems, same dynamics, episode after episode — works because it's built on comfort. You know these people, where they live, and what's going to set them off. That familiarity is the whole point. It's why people still rewatch Seinfeld and Friends decades later, and it's why a good sitcom, even a short-lived one, never really goes away.
