25 Things You Didn't Know About Your Favorite Sitcoms

Friends. South Park. New Girl. How I Met Your Mother. The Big Bang Theory. Frasier. Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The Office. Parks and Recreation. Used to be that all these words were just that: words. Back in the day, in the time before microwave popcorn, folks used to say them to each other as though they meant nothing. People were ‘friends’ with one another. South Park was a green area to the south of somewhere else. A New Girl was just that. But everything has changed. For most of us, these words and phrases now stand somewhere between theological canon and civic guard: knowledge of their content translates directly to social clout and personal standing. Where once a Central Perk would be only the middlemost valuable privilege of a thing, it is now a freestanding enlightenment coffee-shop and shared sacred space.

Therefore, in order to help you maintain the strictest possible standard of internal cultural value within our broader cultural economy and social pecking orders, we’re providing you with a detailed list of twenty-five interesting, arcane, wholesome, and/or wild facts about some of your favorite sitcoms. Consider these facts a gift from us to you; arrows in your conversational quiver; the opening salvo of your next water-cooler conversation now that we may once again-- as a society of nations, states, and individuals-- gather around such things soon.
