Comment on What show took you the longest to get into?
NuPNuA@lemm.ee 1 year agoHorrible people being horrible is a staple of great sitcoms, at least in the UK. Peep Show, IT Crowd, Black Books, Father Ted, Blackadder, Steptoe and Son, The Office, Bottom, The Young Ones, Til Death Us Do Part… the list just goes on.
I guess that’s why I find American stuff like Always Sunny, Arrested Development and Seinfeld more satisfying than stuff like Friends or Modern Family that always has to have a moral.

You know I never noticed that about the UK until you pointed that out but looking back on every British show I’ve ever watched, you are right. With the exception of Doctor Who that is pretty much all of them.
That said I will die on the hill of “Ricky Gervais is not and has never been funny”
I like the Ricky Gervais show but let’s be real that’s all Karl Pilkington.

Whether Gervais is funny in of himself, he knew how to write a great script back in the day, The Office and Extras are solid gold classics.
