I agree. They're just not funny. So why watch them and then complain about them?

"3rd Rock from the Sun" always made me laugh... on a purely intellectual level of course.

Hovis sweetie, if you had an American sense of humour then you might find it funny:D

I enjoy Fraser and House.. house is brilliant, cruel sarky humour, I love it. But then its main actor is a brit..

Friends is class
Scrubs is too.

I agree a lot of there comedy is dire second rate drivel but so is a lot of ours!

Hovis, South Park was written by a couple of Canadians IIRC.

How about Cheers? I found THAT funny :D

Personally I prefer the much younger Kelly Bundy (aka Christina Applegate) ;-)
How about M*A*S*H? Another "cult classic" :)

Although beyond that I must admit, I'm struggling to find any more :rolleyes:

Anything that requires canned laughter should tell the producers that it just ain't funny.

Now we all know our colonial cousins lack a sense of humour. Whoops sorry my mistake, a nation that can elect Ronnie Reagan and Dub Ya as president must have an amazing sense of humour, giving clowns the keys to the nuclear bombs is indeed funny.

Morning all.

I agree, even if the subject matter is funny, & the line itself is funny, I can't stand that by the numbers, pause for effect way Yank comedy is directed.

Still, what can you expect from a nation of Euro rejects!:D

Cheers.
