I’m studying American sitcoms but here be un example from a horror film study:

 

The horror film genre of the past three or four decades

“Recently, zombie films have made a comeback from their heyday in the late 1970’s through to the early 1980s. The zombie symbolises the mindless mob mentality with the single focused desire to eat to survive. Metaphorically, zombie films then and today speak a lot to the hyper-consumerist culture – with malls being social meeting places, materialism almost being a way of life, and a person’s status being judged more by the toys and possessions they have than by who they are as a person. Thus, the zombie’s consumption of brains and flesh to live is paralleled by consumer’s consumption of products and services to survive.”

 

…….O.o

OMG These scholars are over-thinking this and trying to assign significance where none exists. Zombies are epic monsters! Nothing more is needed for a horror film. I really don't think there's a subtext or hidden social commentary here!

*sneaks up on Nya while she is examining zombies, taps her on the left shoulder, then scoots around her back to the right side... when Nya inevitably turns to look left, Basel hits her hard with a weave of Rend Mind*

 

I wonder how this will affect her, the last person I saw hit with that weave was only able to sit there chewing gum aimlessly:

XD I know right. There was something rather farfetched about it although my Dad was very fascinated with this concept *headdesk*

Zombies. Sitcoms can be fun if you find the right ones.

I have to do one from each decade – 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. I found Big Bang Theory at first but watching the whole season in one go was a mistake :laugh:

I only watched some of the others, but Friends has a certain charm to it :) plus as you’ve seen I loooove the theme song XD

 

But generally I’m not into them it all. But it was that or horror, so meh :P

If you look for one from the 80s, Cheers would be the way to go IMO. Unless you have to watch the entire history of the show, which would be a bit extensive for a school project.
