what really most exemplifies fusion cuisine as sitcom writing is this:

steven is grounded from tv for a thousand years. this happens right at the end of the episode, so it’s never undone.

do you think there’s any chance this will ever be mentioned again?

or do you think it’ll be quietly ignored, and we’ll be back to the status quo by next episode, with steven watching some new tv parody?

because the latter is the hallmark of the sitcom.
