"Most marriage comedies are about the big explosions," Horne said in a recent interview. "We wanted to write about the slow leak. Still Married With Issues is about the fact that you can love someone deeply and still want to smother them with a pillow because they load the dishwasher like a psychopath."
Here is why Volume 7 is required listening (and viewing) for anyone who has ever looked at their spouse across the dinner table and thought, “We survived the affair, the bankruptcy, and the in-laws... but why do I still want to kill you over the tupperware lid?” Most sitcoms end when the couple gets back together. That Sitcom Show begins there. At the close of Volume 6, Mark and Jenna survived a near-divorce triggered by Mark forgetting to pick up their son from soccer practice (the seventh time) and Jenna secretly opening a credit card to fund her candle-making side hustle.

Available now on [Fictional Streaming Platform] and as an audio podcast on all major services.

"Most marriage comedies are about the big explosions,"
Volume 7 opens with the tagline: “We stayed together for the kids. Now the kids are in college.” but why do I still want to kill you over the tupperware lid
Now, with Volume 7: Still Married With Issues , the creators have done something radical. They have stopped pretending that marriage gets easier after the "rough patch." They’ve abandoned the saccharine Modern Family resolution and leaned hard into the Kramers-vs.-Kramers-meets-Always-Sunny chaos of long-term commitment.
If you have ever been in a relationship that survived a global pandemic, a bathroom renovation, or simply the relentless passage of time, you will see yourself in Volume 7. You will wince. You will laugh. And you will probably look over at your partner on the couch and say, "Okay, that one was a little too real."
For the uninitiated, That Sitcom Show started as a podcast experiment six years ago—a writer’s room trying to prove that the traditional three-camera sitcom format wasn't dead, just sleeping. What emerged was a meta-comedy about a couple, Mark and Jenna, who were producing a fictional sitcom inside a real podcast. By Volume 3, the lines between the "show within the show" and the real lives of the actors blurred entirely.
