I’m thinking this topic could be interesting so I would like to take it from the graveyard to an open field.
In the “Tribute” thread:
Tany:Message 1257 For me, 97-99% of sitcoms are just too fucking stupid and repetitive to be bearable, but half an hour or so of good comedy each night just before sleep really helps me get to sleep and have untroubled sleep.
Theo:Message 1258 My problem with them (is that) the vast majority are based on embarrassing people.the laughs are cheap.
The reason this rang for me is because of an addiction I have. I must have The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama …
The shear inanity of the plots are comedy gold to begin with, then add the periodic quips of intellect these guys throw at you and … this is my favorite entertainment … after football … and EvC and masturbating, and … well it falls on the list somewhere up there pretty high.
Now that’s friggin funny.
I will not find a people-based sitcom of the same inane comedy because physics won’t let you do that stuff but I miss the quick visual and verbal darts we used to get from Get Smart and Monty Python.
