Here are some romantic TV comedies that have been mentioned in the article:

1. Trying - a show about a couple, Jason and Nikki, who want to adopt but face various challenges.
2. Bluey - an animated series that features the love story of Chilli and Bandit, the parents of two blue heeler dogs.
3. Emily in Paris - a Netflix series that follows the story of Emily, an American woman who moves to Paris and navigates her way through French culture and romance.

These shows are all romantic comedies that focus on the relationships between the main characters, often with humorous and lighthearted tone.
 
I'm literally so over how formulaic these rom-coms are 🙄 - they're just always about some poor soul moving to a new city or getting dumped, but magically finding love in the most predictable ways possible 💘. I mean, Jason and Nikki adopting? That's just lazy storytelling right there 🤦‍♀️. And don't even get me started on Emily in Paris... I get that it's supposed to be a fish-out-of-water story, but come on, how cliche is it that the American girl moves to Paris and falls for some French guy? 😒

And what's with all these shows prioritizing romance over actual character development? Like, can't we have some depth in our rom-coms? 🤷‍♀️ I need more than just a cheesy love story to keep me hooked. Give me some complexity, some nuance... something, anything that makes me feel like the characters are actually human beings 💡.
 
i feel like we're at a point where rom-coms aren't just for dates anymore 😂 they're actually kinda cool to watch even when you're flying solo 📺 i mean, who doesn't love a good laugh and some feel-good vibes? trying sounds super relatable, you know? adoption struggles are real, but it's also beautiful to see couples supporting each other through that journey 💕 bluey is adorable, though - who wouldn't want to watch their parents be so cute all the time 😍 and emily in paris looks like a total guilty pleasure 🤫 i can already imagine myself getting lost in those parisian streets with emily 🌟
 
OMG u guys I just finished binge-watching Trying and I'm obsessed!!! 🤩 I mean, who wouldn't want to see a couple trying (lol) to adopt kids? 😂 It's so relatable how Jason and Nikki navigate the ups and downs of fostering to adopting, it feels like my own school project presentations on family planning! 💡 And can we talk about Bluey for a sec? 🐾 I love how Chilli and Bandit balance work and parenting life, reminds me of when my friends' parents have to juggle multiple schedules 📅. But honestly, Emily in Paris feels kinda unrealistic for me, like, who moves across the world for love? 🤷‍♀️ I'd rather stick with Jason and Nikki's real-life romance 💕...or maybe just finish all my homework on time? 😂
 
I'm not sure why anyone's so stoked about these new TV comedies... I mean, they're just more of the same old rom-coms we've seen before 🤔. Trying looks like it'll be some sappy adopt-me-now drama, Bluey's just a cute animated show that's probably only good for 5-year-olds 🐶, and Emily in Paris is just going to be some privileged American girl navigating Parisian life... yawn 😴.

And let me ask you, when was the last time we saw an original idea on TV? Everything just gets rebooted or remade into something new. I mean, can't they come up with something fresh for once? 🤷‍♂️ And what's with all these shows about romance and relationships? Don't get me wrong, I love a good laugh as much as the next person, but sometimes I just want to watch something that'll challenge my mind, you know? 🤔
 
lol what's up with these shows? i just binged trying and it was so emotional lol 😭 but also relatable. anyone else have a hard time watching those adoption scenes tho? 🤯 i feel like the show did a good job showing the ups and downs of the process, but sometimes felt kinda unrealistic 🙄 still love jason and nikki tho, they're adorbs 👫 anyway, what about you guys? favorite rom-com so far this year? 🤔
 
I'm so down for some feel-good TV shows right now 😊. Romantic comedies always make me laugh and feel good about love (or at least, the idea of it). I mean, who doesn't want to watch Jason and Nikki's adoption journey or Emily navigating life in Paris? It's like we're living vicariously through these characters! And Bluey is just adorable - my little ones love that show 🐶. But for me, it's not just about the laughs... it's about seeing real people's struggles and triumphs on screen. Like, how do Jason and Nikki balance their relationship with their desire to have a family? That's some real-life drama right there!
 
I'm totally loving these romantic TV comedies 🤩! Trying is so relatable, you know? I mean, who hasn't dealt with the adoption process and the ups and downs of trying to build a life together? 😂 And Bluey, oh man... that show is just too cute! The way they depict the love story between Chilli and Bandit is like something out of a rom-com movie 💕. But what I think really draws me in is Emily in Paris - it's like a time capsule of all my own feelings when I moved to a new city for work 🌍. It's funny, relatable, and just so charming! 👏 What's your take on these shows?
 
rom-coms are always a good way to pass the time 🍿😊 i mean, who doesn't love a good laugh and some feel-good vibes? but at the same time, it's interesting to see how these shows portray relationships and love in different ways... like trying, which is all about navigating the ups and downs of adoption, that's a pretty serious topic for a rom-com. bluey is just cute 🐶💕, i mean who doesn't love watching dogs be adorable? but emily in paris, that show is a bit more complex... it's not just about romance, it's also about identity and finding your place in the world. i think that's what makes those shows so compelling - they're not just light-hearted entertainment, they're also thoughtful explorations of human relationships 💭
 
I'm so over these sappy rom-coms 🙄. I mean don't get me wrong, they're fine if you're into that sorta thing but for me, it's just all a bit too predictable. Like, how many times can we watch a couple bicker and then make up before it gets old? 🤣 And don't even get me started on the love triangles - ugh!

I think what I'm really tired of is how these shows always portray relationships as this perfect, fairy tale nonsense. Newsflash: no one has a relationship like that in real life 😂. It's all ups and downs, messes and misunderstandings. Where's the drama in that?

And can we talk about how these shows are just so... white? 🤦‍♀️ I mean, come on, where are the rom-coms featuring people of color? It's like we're not even worthy of a happy ending or something 😒.

Give me a break from all this sappy romance and give me a show with some real issues and real characters 💁‍♀️.
 
idk why everyone's so obsessed with these rom-coms 🤷‍♂️ they're just a bunch of couple drama 😒 trying to adopt can be stressful enough without having cameras following you around all day 📺 bluey is cute i guess but it's just a show about dogs in love 💕 emily in paris sounds like some privileged american girl finding her way in europe lol who hasn't moved abroad with their parents already 🤦‍♀️ anyway, what's wrong with watching something that's not exactly relatable to your own life? don't get me wrong, i'm happy for all the rom-com fans out there 😊 but can't we just have a break from sappy love stories for once? 🚫
 
Meh, I mean I guess these shows sound okay... but why do we need to be reminded of them again? I already binge-watched most of them back in the day 😒. Trying was kinda deep for a rom-com, you know? It tackled some serious issues like infertility and societal pressure. But Bluey's just cute animation, no doubt 🐶. And Emily in Paris... girl, please, don't pretend like it's all about romance when it's really just about her trying to fit into a new life 🤣. Where's the substance? Where are the sources on these shows, anyway? I need some data-driven analysis before I start swooning over the cute couples 💁‍♀️.
 
Shows like Trying & Bluey r actually really good 4 a laugh 💕 but I'm still not sure why Emily in Paris got so much hype 🤔 it's just some rich girl navigating parisian love life lol 😂
 
OMG, I'm so over these modern rom-coms 🙄 they're just so...predictable! Like, we've seen the same tropes played out a million times - the meet-cute, the slow burn, the sappy finale 💔. And don't even get me started on Emily in Paris, that show is just a generic "fish-out-of-water" story 🤣. I mean, who hasn't watched an American girl move to France and suddenly become all about romance and croissants? 🥐

But you know what really gets my goat? Trying, with Jason and Nikki's adoption drama 🌎. It's like they're trying (haha) to tackle real issues, but it just feels so...heavy-handed 😴. Where's the nuance? The subtlety? Can't we get some actual depth in these shows instead of just following the same tired formula? 🤦‍♀️

Give me something with a bit more edge, a bit more complexity 👀. I need my rom-com fix to be a little more...subversive 😏
 
I'm intrigued by the resurgence of traditional rom-coms in modern television 📺. Shows like Trying and Emily in Paris tap into our innate desire for feel-good entertainment and escapism. The relatable struggles of Jason and Nikki's adoption journey or Emily's cultural immersion are expertly woven with humor, making them both endearing and entertaining to watch 😊.

It's interesting to note how these shows prioritize character development over complex plotlines, instead opting for a lighthearted and comedic approach. This shift in narrative style may be a response to the increasing complexity of modern storytelling, where audiences are craving more straightforward and relatable storytelling 📚.

Overall, I think these romantic comedies offer a refreshing respite from the typical drama-filled TV fare, providing a much-needed dose of positivity and humor to our screens 👍.
