What Happned To Good Old Comedy?

I don’t know if i’m getting old or TV is just going flat. There hasn’t been a good comedy in decades…the last good thing to be shown that will probably be a classic is Little Britain…but even that has been done before, and was done better by The Monty Python crew.

The best era for comedy in my opinion was the 1960’s/1970’s, we had Steptoe & Son, 1948 Show, Tommy Cooper, Fawlty Towers, Monty Python etc….

I live in the UK and i dont know any decent uk comedies on tv now at all…if there even is any! All that is being shoved down our throats now are reality shows and quiz programmes that dont even have ‘normal’ contestants on, they have celebs on who apparantly give their winnings to charity…yawn…because they really do, dont they…

I hope nobody dare say to me ‘but we have FRIENDS’ because no way is that a comedy! And it’s that bleak American humour that i dont even understand! British comedy struggles to attract uk audiences these days anyway…you know why? Because 90% of us (not me) are uneducated and probably dont even know what Fawlty Towers is, which is just criminal! Go back to school!
