Surprisingly dark moments in comedies

I should have thought of that one - I’ve mentioned it on the SDMB before

Television episodes that wouldn’t fly today

Wait until you see the episode in which Rob and Laura try to set up a male friend - Rob sets him up with Sally and Laura with a friend of hers. But the guy, though apparently having a good time with each, never seems to decide between them. The reason why? He’s a wife-beater and his psychiatrist has advised him that he’ll start hitting any woman he gets too seriously about.
