There have been some great comedies over the recent years, Goodness gracious was an excellent sketch show and Bluestone 42 just a superbly funny, if not slightly dark, comedy series.
On a whole, most of the stuff now is utter tosh, its not funny and its poorly executed.
Probably the last great comedy series was the vicar of Dibley, but the Dawn French is a legend when it comes to the funny stuff.. |

There's no comparison, they just don't write good sitcoms anymore.  |
