Guest godthedog Report post Posted November 10, 2002 Am I the only one that found The Larry Sanders Show to be boring and unfunny? it's a different kind of humor that takes some getting used to. i couldn't stand the show for a long time, but when i started watching the bravo re-runs i realized "wow...this show's really fucking good." it's not just the jokes that make the show great, it's the tone of the show, which is pretty bleak and dark & turns lots of people off. the characters are also great, they're a hell of a lot more 3-dimensional than any other sitcom i've ever seen.

That is also how to some degree I would describe Curb Your Enthusiasm. I think the problem is that most people don't get subtlety and thus don't understand why something is funny.

There's been plenty of British comedy shows and sitcoms at least on the level of Larry Sanders in the last decade or so. It is a great show though and I do like it a hell of a lot better than fucking Seinfeld. The Simpsons: Everything's been said before. Brass Eye: Unflinchingly brutal and upfront humor that was angry, focused and deadly accurate. Chris Morris may well be remembered as the true maverick of 90's comedy. The infamy of the final pheodophilia (sp?) episode will cement its place in history but it should be remembered as brilliantly original television. Red Dwarf: One of my favourites for years, underappreciated by some but loved to death by its fans of course. The 7th and 8th series were crap but not that many comedies bow out gracefully at their peak anyway. Father Ted: Superb mix of clever and dumb humor which played with stereotypes in its own unique manic style. Will undoubtedly go down as one of the most fondly remembered British sitcoms. Not sure what the Irish church thought of it exactly thoough. Blackadder/Blackadder Goes Forth: The first three series were often inspired but also rather patchy at times whereas Blackadder 4 was just perfect. A brilliantly written show which deftly touched upon the carnage and farce of WWI, the way the slapstick finally gave way to dread and genuine pathos in the final episode transcended what a conventional sitcom could achieve in many peoples eyes.
