Is it worth remembering or does it deserve to remain forgotten? Join me as we discover if Spaced is a forgotten masterpiece.

Footnotes:
[1] For what I mean when I say "which is rare for sitcom women", I mean that there appear to be a few select roles that women in sitcoms often get to play (either dumb, a sexual object, nerdy and that's their only character trait, etc.), and Daisy doesn't fit snugly in any of those boxes, to the betterment of the show. For more detail on what I mean when I discuss those codified roles, check out my video on That's My Bush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ5DU55rtMs
