A genre reborn: Inside the evolution of the rom-com
CNN
Every few years, someone declares the romantic comedy dead. While the era of studio hits like "When Harry Met Sally" may be over, the genre has shifted into other forms.
In the episode, titled "Rainbow," the happy-go-lucky titular character extolls the virtues of the romantic comedy while giving his team, the players of AFC Richmond, a pep talk: "If all those attractive people with their amazing apartments and interesting jobs, usually in some creative field, can go through some light-hearted struggles and still end up happy? Then so can we." He refers to his philosophy as "rom-communism," noting that believing in it "is all about believing that everything is going to work out in the end."More Related News
