The Sitcom Episode (And the Couch is Haunted)

Hoot’n & Holler’n With Matt Mitchell

This week on Hoot’n and Holler’n, the set might be haunted—but that won’t stop us from diving headfirst into the world of sitcoms. From the unforgettable theme songs that raised us (“Sanford & Son,” Fresh Prince, and even New Girl’s five-second curse) to the iconic family shows we gathered around (Home Improvement, Full House, Boy Meets World), we’re reliving the cheesy glory and debating what still holds up.

We also put our audience’s hot takes to the test with a countdown of the most overrated sitcoms ever—spoiler: Friends fans may want to skip this one. Plus, we crown the best (and worst) sitcom dads, with everyone from Danny Tanner to Dan Conner to Al Bundy getting put under the microscope.

It’s nostalgia, debates, and plenty of laughs all from a possibly possessed couch.
