Welcome to The Sitcom Sandwich

Yes, this is another blog devoted to pop culture . . . but with a twist.  The primary focus of The Sitcom Sandwich will be looking at the beginnings and endings of sitcoms.  I'll be looking at the first and last episodes of classic (and maybe some not-so-classic) sitcoms to examine how the shows evolved over the course of their runs.  Occasionally, there will some other in-depth analysis of a given show or character, but the primary focus is on firsts and lasts.  We will trace the journeys of these shows, looking at what the show seemed to be on day one and how it ended up.  These shows have a story to tell, so let's see how it works out!

Please note that this site is devoted to sitcoms.  While there are plenty of dramas with terrific journeys, sitcoms are a bit easier to digest and are often less serialized, which will make things a little easier to trace the route the characters take.  Plus, to be honest, I just like sitcoms better.  There's no rhyme or reason to the shows that get featured, and I will happily take requests.

And so I present you now with The Sitcom Sandwich.  Bon appetite!
