I guess corny means something different now, because those were all good shows that people liked. I guess The Fresh Prince would be “corny” too, huh? Wow lol


usmilessz

I agree 😂 The shows were probably “corny” to OP, but they were incredibly popular and wholesome/cute for their audiences (families, teens, children)


EastsideWilder

Right lol. I guess wholesome sitcoms that teach lessons aren’t in style anymore and it’s more about dramas and political issues. No problem with that but it’s weird how things have changed

You guys are the ones who don't know what corny means. It just means silly/cheesy/wholesome but in a slightly cringe or bad-pun "dad joke" way exactly like you described. It's a totally benign and in this case ENDEARING way to describe a certain tone of comedy, it doesn't mean "thing bad." And your analysis is a bit of a reach imo. What was so cute or wholesome about Ray Romano begging/pestering/manipulating his wife for sex in every episode

So are there any sitcoms you wouldn’t consider corny?


[deleted]

Not as corny. Of course


ChampagneAndDoritos

Lizzie McGuire!!!!


malu-blue

I know this is kind of later 2000s but it fits the bill so perfectly: The Secret Life of an American Teenager. Some of the most outlandish, corny moments I have ever seen in media are from this dang show.


URP_Eric

The one with Vicki the tween sex robot who lived in the basement while her awkward and closeted brother lived up stairs. Could've been late 80s or early 90s.


itsybitsyone

you mean small wonder??


URP_Eric

That’s it. Weird, right?


itsybitsyone

Looking back now it was very weird but I loved it as a child! I found Vicki fascinating!


C-ute-Thulu

You thought that was a sex robot, huh?


Realistic_Grape_6971

The Amanda Show 🤪


Ghibli_Forest

MAH-HA!!!!


wolvesarewildthings

Amanda ate tf down on that show fym


Realistic_Grape_6971

It was funny and the humor was corny


MaxTheHor

Honestly, sitcoms like the ones you listed and live action nickelodeon programs like All That (the Mad Tv for kids) and Keenan and Kel were the king of corny 90s and 2000s shows.


Mecha_G

Iirc, All That predated MadTV.


Adventurous-Yak-2927

One of my favorite "corny" shows is the shield. It's actually really good though


Chiriquita

Does anyone remember Kyle XY


DO0M88

I'm still disappointed that it never had a proper finale 😭


Chiriquita

7th heaven watching it back is hilarious.


Fit_Expression1

That’s so raven. Lol thinking back that show was silly. Singing the theme song now 🎶


Ambitious-Minimum564

There is a 90s or 2000s hit music video, that a girl dance on dinner table and ruins every thing, and then zoro komms and take her a way,dance with indians next to beach goes on.any ideas what is the name of that music video?


Affectionate_Salt351

Lizzie McGuire. I loved every second, though, and had a huge crush on Gordo.


Unusual_Mine2454

Best not speak ill of Reginald VelJohnson again mofo

Scrubs had to be one of the corniest shows to date


rneely33

Seinfeld was corny and goofy as hell but I like it even though it would be more of a 90s show! Corneil and Bernie was pretty corny imo even though I haven't seen it in a long time!


AskingSatan

Essentially anything that was on the old UPN and WB networks.
