Throw in a laugh track to let the simpletons know when to laugh, some relationship troubles when an episode needs to be serious, and a fuck ton of easily remembered and quotable catchphrases and you've got prime American television for at least fifteen mind numbing series that fat cunts can vegetate in front of for years at a time. Change the jobs, location and actors, and you've got another fucking show that mongoloids will lap up for another decade. Fucking hell, in this day and age they wouldn't even have to do that - just replace all the actors with trannies and racial minorities and remake the entire thing - no doubt it would be considered groundbreaking. Curb your Enthusiasm was brilliant so was The Larry Sanders show, but they're the exception IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless 'Last of the Summer Wine' is the first thing that comes up on google USA if you search 'British culture' That would be awful, and probably racist. I am an American, but I've seen a lot of Britcoms over the past decade or so. I like the older ones from the 70's, 80's & 90's, before everything on TV and in the entertainment world in general turned into no-talent, feel good schitte. LOTSW is my favorite of the old Britcoms and though Compo Simmonite is not my favorite character, I thought he was the one whose overall personality most closely matched my screen name. I thought using a Brit character on a forum full of Brittard cunts would be like a little tip of the hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the 3 died and they get another cunt in. Fucking hated it. Saying that, it was funnier than Friends. I love it. Great show. Light years better than any of the garbage on TV (excuse me, "the telly") today. BTW, I flush things that are funnier than Friends down the crapper every time I take a dump.

Blathering, yammering, blowhard cunt that you are, mostly everything you said there was spot on. If one were to make a list of American sitcoms since the 1960's, one could come up with a decent sized list of those that were and are still worth watching, though they would represent a small percentage of the total.

I saw a few episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm and I found it more annoying than funny. The Larry Sanders show was great. But speaking of CYE, don't forget the show that spawned Larry David, Seinfeld. One of the best sitcoms ever produced, though I can't watch it now. Never missed an episode while it was in production, but once it was over and went into syndication, I just couldn't watch it again.

To be fair to American comedy, I have always thought of 'Married With Children' as one of the best sitcoms from anywhere in the world. But then I have got a weird thing for Katey Sagal.

Married With Children was a welcome break from all the goody-goody, touchy-feely, warm, fuzzy, explore your feelings garbage that had been typical of most "family oriented" sitcoms up to that point. Their dysfunctional trashiness was refreshing. Katy was the bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
