Volume 7, subtitled "Still Married with Issues Work" (the awkward grammar is intentional, playing on the dual meaning of "issues work" as both marital problems and the labor of fixing them), has arrived. And it is arguably the most incisive, hilarious, and heartbreaking season yet. For the uninitiated, That Sitcom Show (TSS) follows longtime couple Mark and Jenna, now in their 17th year of marriage. There are no zany neighbors who burst through the door, no mistaken-identity farces, no "very special episodes."

Volume 1 was about replacing a broken dishwasher. Volume 3 covered a contentious PTA meeting. Volume 5? A two-hour argument over the correct way to fold fitted sheets. There are no zany neighbors who burst through
Volume 7 is not about solving marriage. It is about surviving it, one spreadsheet, one monologue, one unaddressed HOA letter at a time.
Critics scoffed. Audiences wept with recognition.
