It's ironic that you're watching MwC and unironically take this joke seriously like a snotty audience with a pedigree. "The Simpsons" is the longest running animated sitcom of all times. MwC lasted 11 seasons, same numbers of seasons as "Cheers". "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" has 15 seasons on FX and counting. "Malcolm in the Middle" lasted seven seasons. "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" lasted eight seasons between Fox and NBC. "Ally Mcbeal" lasted five seasons. "Arrested Development" too. The rAciSt Fox had "Bernie Mac Show" in 2001 and "Living Single", one of the biggest sitcoms of the 90s with a predominantly black cast, lasting also five seasons each. Don't talk out of your ass just to screech stupid talking points.
