Many sitcoms endure and still many others fade away. There are certain things about a sitcom that give it a longevity or a shelf-life that allow it to resonate with generation after generation. How surprising it is, then, that an unlikely comedy about four 50 + women living together in Miami, tackling contemporary issues and asserting the vitality of life long after to empty nest syndrome, had continued to appeal to television audiences more than three-decades after its debut.
Having grown up in the 80s where kid-centric sitcoms were a regular part of the television landscape, it is probably no surprise that I continue to look for similar entertainment in my adulthood. In my youth, colorful family programming such as Silver Spoons, Punky Brewster, Small Wonder and ALF, usually with outlandishly ludicrous premises, were an escape for those kids who enjoyed a little adventure and fun. In my "maturity", I find myself nostalgic for that kind of sitcom, a brand that is no longer found on network television. This is why I will often turn on the Disney Channel or Disney XD for some lighthearted entertainment reminiscent of those 80s favorites.
