Appreciating the seamless blend between It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Abbott Elementary, and how thrilling to think that not only do they exist in the same universe, but the same city!

It's a shame US TV will be going down the shitter shortly, they are very good at it. Let's hope inexpensive sitcoms miss the chop!

I have a theory that the reason TV comedies without a laughter track tend to be less funny is the decision to omit the laughter track.

There tends to be a different reveal moment in more modern style comedies. There tends to be a more subtle reveal, and dialogue less snappy. Jokes are sluggish and they creep up on the viewer, giving at best an "Aheh" moment.

Comedies with the laughter track tend to have more of a 'punchline' feel about them, where reveal cuts and delivery are faster.

It's that kind of quick-quip, punchline-and-laugh nature of the laughter-track comedy that *can* make them funnier and more enjoyable.

It's just a theory I have.

Discuss!

The Police were upset with the 'pigs' reference but sadly the writers made the classic mistake of not making the sitcom funny.
Should have gone all out on the anti-Police rhetoric instead of being twee I guess...

We've recently begun rewatching "YONDERLAND," a quirky fantasy show featuring many of our favorite British actors. We love our surreal and hallucinatory Britcoms. #yonderland #britcom #britcoms #sitcom #sitcoms #britishtv #britishtelevision #debbie #MarthaHoweDouglas #MathewBaynton #SimonFarnaby #JimHowick #LaurenceRickard #BenWillbond #cultclassic #classictv #prestigetv #prestigetelevision #fairytale #fairytales
