Those sitcoms you listed aren’t Fine Art by any standard. You misunderstand what I meant by ‘disturb’. It’s an aesthetic disturbance. A catharsis - revealing something about yourself or the world that you didn’t know before or that you knew but never quite saw arranged in a beautiful manner. Mozart is disturbing.
Oh, I didn't say they were.
However, you asserted that wholesome people aren't interesting and I gave you just a couple of examples that disprove that assertion.
I think thousands of people have found find Nell, for example, in "The Old Curiosity Shop" or Elinor in "Sense and Sensibility" interesting as well though you state that everyone would find them boring.
I don’t think “disturb” is the right word. “Tension” is usually the word used when discussing the build up before catharsis.
