Because It Was On

Because it was on is like that fancy film podcast but for people who like to talk about that episode of Saved by the Bell where Jessie gets addicted to caffeine pills. Because It Was On it was on is a show for the Nick at Nite generation where we want to talk about the social politics of sitcoms. We want to put our student debt to good use by pulling apart the classics sitcoms that we all know and love to understand how race, gender, class, sexuality, ability, and many other intersections get reflected in the shows that were on at your grandparent’s house when they babysat you, that you snuck out of your room to watch at 2am when your siblings were asleep and you could steal the remote, or that you faked sick for so you could catch on daytime TV.
