Rerun RewindThe Sitcom Tropes Database

Welcome to Rerun Rewind!

I'm Jen Heller, and I'm obsessed with classic sitcoms. I re-watched all my favorites and cataloged every trope I saw at least three times. This is an ongoing project, and I will continue to add tropes as I come across them. See the "Recently Added" and "In Progress" sections below for updates.

Recently Added

  • Northern Exposure: The adventures of a New York doctor living in a small town in Alaska with a cast of quirky characters.
  • Temperamental French Chef: A grumpy Parisian food artiste. (Did you know "temperamental" had an "a" in the middle? I had no idea!)
  • Decorating Disaster: One character is appalled at another's decorating choices.
  • The Greatest American Hero: Ralph, a schoolteacher, and Bill, an FBI agent, are tasked with saving the world using a suit that gives only Ralph super powers, but they lost the instructions.
  • The Piano Movers: The gang has a hard time moving a piano.
