problem: the term "situational comedy" is far too broad and vague to adequately describe the tone of any given tv show, leading to whiplash when a viewer assumes two different shows will be more similar than they are.
solution: the genre should be split into two subgenres, Cozy Sitcoms (The Good Place, Parks & Rec) and Grimdark Sitcoms (Seinfeld, Always Sunny).
