British and American Television Comedy

[Thermal]

I agree older comedies were generally better but also agree with your examples of good modern day comedy. Almost identically, even (other than not watching and therefore not really knowing if the IT crowd is good).

Their are also funny shows that aren't always classified as comedy, for example, Harry Hill's TV burp, the stupidity of him just makes it all the better yet the details he picks out of programs are remarkable.

I agree Dad's army was appalling, I think whereas Faulty Towers & Blackadder were good also.

Mr Bean is a classic too, gotta love it, Rowen Atkinson is a great actor by being able to create something funny with such minimal speech.
