Much as I don’t want to disturb your shitposting, the original news article I saw about this “phenomenon” linked to an amazing video.

The meaty thud it makes as it faceplants the pavement makes it all worthwhile.

Seriously.

Open-plan office dwellers everywhere: “Tell me more about this ‘cubicle’. Walls, you say?”

“Good” and “bad” are far more subjective than with most shows, in this case.

The problem with being one of the shows that popularised - if not outright created - a lot of what became staple sitcom tropes is that people tend to look back with the modern lens, of those being extremely over-used and stale. Is just that they weren’t, when the show was current.

A lot of viewers also tend to get stuck on the “wow, these are some truly awful people” part, which similarly was the point. To directly quote Larry David; “No hugging, no learning”.

To dramatically over-simplify things, it is a show about three terrible people going about their lives, and failing to learn any lessons in the process; as is so famously quoted, a show about nothing.

Whether good or bad, it was still important. Walked, so a generation of later shows could run, if you will. (Or even if you won’t, I don’t think anyone could deny that)
