Remember in the 1990s when shows like Friends, Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Boy Meets World would do a show that felt like it was a new episode but it turned out to be a flimsy plot designed simply to show clips from previous episodes? The “Clips Show” concept was created for a few reasons, mainly because the writers were tired and lacking creativity but still wanted to get credit for handing in something “new”.
You know what the sports columnist version of that is? A mailbag. As someone who has a 20 month old daughter at home, a full time gig and some side projects, I completely understand where those 1990s sitcom writers were coming from.
