“Another Fine Mess: A History of American Film Comedy” feels like an author’s attempt to right that which is wrong. The book provides a historical journey of the American Film Comedy from the days of “City Lights” and “Knocked Up,” providing a retell of what American Film entailed from a comical perspective. The reading feels like thirsty chapters devoted to an individual performer/director, filling the gaps and connections linking Mae West to Doris Day. The reading is a pure attempt to change/right the legacy of American Comedy Film.

The reading “Sitcom: A History in 24 Episodes from I Love Lucy to Community” is a book offering the reader a chance to experience a fundamental and essential form that is Sitcom. The book provides a story of Sitcoms that used to be beautiful distractions that once served as a calming lullaby to America that was once gentle. Reading through the chapters, one can experience the sudden rift that occurred between television and entertainment. The book is a documentation of the growth of Sitcom from the times of “Lucy” to the “Phil Silvers Show,” “The Larry Sanders Show” to “30 Rock”. The book serves as a collection of shows cherished in the American scene guiding the reader into noting trends and series of one of America’s precious art forms.

The Sitcom “Seinfeld” is a show that initially feels about nothing only to turn into so much. The pitch episode makes it look so easy to keep viewers glued to the screen, especially when the script is all about trivia questions bothering four people in their lives. The show is beautiful in its ability to make the characters so relatable and their acting so natural. The Sitcom provides organic and intelligent humor that is so hard to stop following.

The show “Friends” is a show that will go down in American Sitcom history as the best show to have graced our screens. The show was like lightning in a bottle, with every actor being part of the cast for their iconic roles. The episode “The One with The Embryos” has one of the actresses, Phoebe, getting implanted with embryos to serve as a surrogate for her brother and the wife. Thanks to the ‘Embryos’ and the ‘Trivia Contest’, the episode serves as one of the show’s best moments thanks to the ‘Embryos’ and the “Trivia Contest.” The episode serves as proof that the show was right to the funny.
