On this episode we continue our look back at the stand-up sitcom boom of the 1990s.  Following the success of shows such as Roseanne and Seinfeld, networks scrambled to find more comics who could become television stars.  Some up and coming comics were discovered on Star Search or Johnny Carson while others got their big break at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal.  Soon networks were filled with sitcoms starring previously unknown stand-up comedians.  On part two we look back at Everybody Loves Raymond, The Drew Carey Show, The Sinbad Show, All-American Girl, Grace Under Fire and Bless this House.
