Intro to 21st Century American Culture - Monday - Period Five

"Good afternoon, everyone," Lorelai greeted the class after everyone had entered and taken a seat. "I hope you all had a chance to do your homework and watch a sitcom this past week, though with all the excitement of Homecoming, I'd understand if you didn't."

She began a lecture on the history and various types of sitcoms.

"And in case some of you didn't have a chance to watch a sitcom, I'm going to show you some clips of a very popular show, Buddies."

Rachel on the plane to London, Rachel & Monica double date with some cute doctors they met at the hospital, and Monica sings at Mike's piano bar.

"Next week we're going to cover police and law dramas, so if you have a chance to catch one before then, please do. If not, I'll show you clips again next week."

"Maybe they're being paid to?" Luke replied, frowning at the television. "Or else I'm really not getting what's supposed to be funny."

"Exactly. People watch this for entertainment?"

"There are worse things," Luke shared. "Mon Cal ballet is even more pointless."

"At least it looks pretty?"

Luke thought about it. "Yeah," he decided. "And no annoying laughing."

"The annoying laughter makes it 100 times worse."
