Has it ever been as bad as it is now?Last night A NEW SERIES OF GREEN GREEN GRASS FFS!Preceded by a truly awful Caroline Quentin vehicle.These programmes are a fucking insult to our intelligence and then tonight Parents of the Band-where's the fucking jokes?Cant think of the last really decent BBC1 sitcom,definitely not My Family or that Nicholas Lyndhurst effort.

Can't say I watch any BBC1 comedies. I tend to watch the U.S. stuff these days.

Lead Balloon hasn't been too bad, but it's not exactly a comedy I tune in to watch especially.

Still better than ITV comedy. In fact do ITV do comedy?
Outnumbered was great, mock the week, HIGNFY, buzzcocks sort of stuff are pretty good. In the meantime ITV have produced nothing of note.
Mind you green gren grass and that other thing are just shit.

It was the whole point of Extras series 2 wasn't it. When the Whistle Blows was clearly awful but because it had a few accents and catchphrases it was popular with no critical acclaim.
In reality that's pretty much what the Green Green Grass is isn't it?

I quite enjoyed Benidorm, but I caught that by accident. ITV really are assmasters at comedy. BBC do have some good stuff. I quite enjoyed Gavin and Stacey and Outnumbered. Never a big fan of Little Britain or the Royale Family but they seem to get good ratings. Problem with the BBC efforts mentioned earlier is they are the kind of gentle non-offensive pre-watershed family comedy. |

I don't mean the "laughter track" kind of comedies - things like the Curb Your Enthusiasm, U.S. Office, 30 Rock, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Entourage all good comedies in their own right. You probably knew what I meant and dislike them, but there's some good stuff in the U.S. at the moment - just the same as in the U.K, sometimes you've got to look for them! |

Never thought i'd say it after years of shite from the US, cosby, roseanne, fresh prince spring to mind, but their comedy is far superior these days and has been for years. Simpsons, Family Guy, Curb, Malcolm in the middle.....
