I don't think that's exactly true. There are sitcoms from recent years with plenty of regular looking people. And if you look at some of the older sitcoms like Friends they already had a pretty attractive cast.
Ur right
The office added less attractive people
To make a more normal looking office work place
Pam was never hot to me
Office did create a wave of hiring more normal and less attractive people to make things more realistic
Like the show super store was basically the office
But in like a walmart/Costco setting
In mad men , they purposely cast Donald draper to be so handsome
But that same actor in other movies n shows, he just looks like a regular guy ,
Like in the town , Jon hamm didn't come off as this super handsome guy
In mad men , Jon hamm seems so handsome cuz he's purposely cast as the best looking guy
All the other men are jealous of him
Including his wealthy boss
I think friends was a all attractive cast, n that wass part of success too ,
Rachel was the sexy one ,
How I met your mother was influenced by friends
But Ross and Rachel and more loved then
Ted and Robyn ( I personally liked barney and Robyn better as a couple )
It's just dam u don't really see a guy like George kastanza as a main role in a show like that anymore u know ,
George was the definition of not being handsome lol,
Short, fat, balding, glasses
And he's cheap lol
He makes me laugh though, but he's meant to be a runt
And Jerry is the alpha male of the group
Kramer is weird but smooth with the ladies
George always got girls , n they didn't keep using him for easy fat jokes, which is cool
U know how the fat characters can be easily used for a quick cheap fat joke
I've heard the modern Simpsons episodes being critiqued for using Homer as a easy fat joke now, when we all grew up loving home
I personally like Homer more then Peter from family guy
Homer is a loveable character
Jerry Seinfeld is one of the smart few who left while on top , n didn't over stay his welcome,. Very smart of him
I think friends left while they were on top as well
HiMYM got hated for there finalee
