can't believe how underused she was in the show.

Harley is one of the funniest shows from the last decade, how the fuck was a show with her as a lead was so unfunny!!!??

    The whole show was only funny to people that think sitcoms are high comedy to begin with.

    Mind you, anyone that enjoys them are welcome to! Humour is a very personal thing. I'm just saying that sitcom humor is not universal as a whole, and that this sitcom played to a narrow audience that heavily favors that style of comedy show. If you aren't the sort that really grooves on that template and style, the show just won't hit right.

    It's like how people with really dark senses of humor tend to not be prone to liking cartoon style humor.

    Sitcom specific fans know what they like, and tend not to like things that aren't similar

    Oh yeah, sure. People with dark senses of humor don't watch Rick and Morty, family guy, American dad, Archer, metalocalypse, bobs burgers, yeah. Dark senses of comedy never watch cartoon type shows. Cause none of those exist.

    Edit:forgot the Simpsons, South Park, frisky dingo, aqua teen hunger force, the Xtacles...

    There was... Sorta. Only a few episodes got made before the company collapsed. The jokes about rapier ape and the potential of a rapiest ape... Omfg I almost died laughing.

    the good thing about sitcoms is that they are comforting. if you start liking the characters then you get to enjoy their lives vicariously.

    my point isn't about sitcoms, but that Kaley Cuoco is incredibly funny (Harley is so funny and nerdy). yet all she did was being the "normie blonde". If she was given more freedom The Big Bang theory might have been actually funny.

    I remember early in the run of BBT, when I had already decided the show was not for me (not helped by people comparing me to Sheldon -- yay, neurodivergence), I saw Jim Parsons on the Craig Ferguson show. He picked up Craig's TARDIS from his desk and giggled, saying "This is so cute! What is it?"

    I think Kaley Cuoco would have recognized the fucking TARDIS.

    Yeah, she is way better than that show let her be. I'm not even a huge fan of hers, but she's definitely got great comedy chops.

    Yeah? What else has she shown those quality comedy chops since then? Her Harley Quinn show exists, or did, I don't know if it's still a thing. But nothing else she's done has lasted more than 2 seasons.
