The Out-of-Towners Review
by Eugene Novikov
A sitcom is neatly defined as a situation comedy, which means that we laugh at the situations that the characters get themselves into and, perhaps, how they get themselves out of the situation, but that is all. The Out-of-Towners, then, is nothing more...more
