Karl and Tonya are back with the flagship podcast from WhenItWasCool.com to discuss a 1980s sitcom and a 1990s sitcom, both of which lasted multiple seasons.  Golden Girls and Family Matters were to very differently written shows and one seemed to resonate with us while the other one didn't and we also discuss how watching so many different sitcoms for multiple eras has been a learning experience.
