In this classic G‑Block deep‑dive, Very Sulty revisits the 1970s drama Family — a show so relentlessly gloomy it may have single‑handedly inspired the word “buzzkill.” Despite living comfortable, upper‑middle‑class lives, every character radiates the kind of quiet misery that makes you wonder if the writers were allergic to joy.

Sulty asks the question every sensible viewer had: “Why was everyone so sad… all the time?”

This episode continues Sulty’s series on baffling TV relics — the shows that made audiences tilt their heads long before social media existed.

If you’ve ever stumbled across an old rerun and thought, What were they thinking, you’re in the right place.

The G‑Block Show is comfort‑comedy for the best of us. Capt. Very Sulty and friends lampoon celebrity culture, poke holes in our absurd reality, and spin everyday nonsense into rich, character‑driven humor.
