In my mind, Too Close for Comfort was the sitcomyest sitcom of all time for several reasons: The characters are all classic sitcom tropes, the episodes artfully employ many of the standard tropes and gags of the time, and then there’s the intro, where everyone smiles at the camera as if they suddenly realized it was there and Ted Knight trips and falls over the couch like Dick Van Dyke. It’s a sitcom’s sitcom. It’s the sitcom to end all sitcoms. And that’s why I love it so much.
