There is more good American comedy than good British comedy.

<< < (3/3)

Barmymoo:
I find British comedy funnier than American comedy, on the whole, although I do laugh at plenty of American shows. But given the choice, I'd go for British humour every time.

Slightly tangentially, I think the BBC does drama about the best of anywhere I've ever seen. I'm a big fan of some ITV shows (ok, two of them) but the BBC is fairly consistently good at producing quality drama. Yes, the series are short. But they are excellent.

ackblom12:
Oh also, laugh tracks need to be burned in a goddamn ditch.

dps:
It's probably a bit hard to really judge this for the vast majority of us.  While this is changing, due to the internet, in general, f you're in the US, you only get to see the successful British shows;  if you're in the UK, you only get to see the successful American shows.  And in both cases, "successful" isn't necessarily the same as "best" or even "good".

Lupercal:
Pssh, I'm pretty sure I've (unfortunately) seen episodes of Joey and 2 Broke Girls airing here.

May, have to agree about drama. Sherlock was particularly well done, although isn't there another series of that coming out in the US called Elementary or Watson or something? Won't be as good, I can promise you that!

I tend to think the cleverer American dramas just get cancelled anyway.

Carl-E:
Elementary, and it's really quite good.  I've only seen a couple of episodes, but I enjoyed them thoroughly - the characterizations were very well done. 

However, I've not seen Sherlock, so I really can't compare.  Which is no help, I know.
