Sorry - I am of a generation where “TV Show” still automatically means on broadcast or cable TV. In the context of what was presented in the linked article on this thread, I am specifically referencing broadcast network TV.
You are actually underlining my point - the shows you mention are, I believe, streaming on Netflix and Amazon. The success of Roseanne on ABC offers some hope that broadcast networks will see value in airing sitcoms built around stand up acts (just hopefully new ones, not reboots).
