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!

That's fair enough. I've never liked American comedy myself. Their version of The Office was enough to put me off for life tbh.

Anyone who made it beyond the first season (where it is almost word-for-word the same as the original) they were rewarding with some darn good television (in my opinion).

I don't watch comedy because it is bad for your complexion, but one thing I do know that you will be interested in is that the laughter tracks you get with many productions were recorded in the 1950s. Which means a lot of the people you hear laughing during these shows are in fact dead now.

Just thought you might like to know that.
