For the uninitiated, That Sitcom Show is an anthology series (with a recurring core cast) that deconstructs classic sitcom formats. Each volume adopts the aesthetics, laugh tracks, and narrative shorthand of a different era. Volume 1 was a loving spoof of 1950s I Love Lucy -style antics. Volume 4 dove into the saccharine family lessons of the '80s. By Volume 7, the show has landed squarely in the late '90s and early 2000s—the era of "very special episodes" and cynical relationship humor.

For the uninitiated, That Sitcom Show (TSS) follows longtime couple Mark and Jenna, now in their 17th year of marriage. There are no zany neighbors who burst through the door, no mistaken-identity farces, no "very special episodes." Instead, each volume is a tight, four-episode arc filmed in real-time, focusing on a single, mundane crisis.
