Even though sitcom characters experience an improbable amount of unlikely embarrassments and conflicts, aren’t you sometimes envious that, at the end of the day, all is forgiven and forgotten? Sitcom characters seem to lead rosy, happy lives that can be devoted to small, fleeting conflicts, rather than any long term career goals. They all have amazing jobs, which seem fun, mostly stress-free, and leave them with lots of free time. Here are some of the most enviable TV jobs that make us wish we could change our careers.
