cazz926 Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 You see, this is why I need to move to London...my humor will be infinitley more appreciated and can finally get my sitcom on the air.For some reason, Americans are easily offended. I can even you a messageboard that showcases that. There's a senator in my neighborhood (Maltese) who is desparately toiling day and night to get the Sopranos off the air because it's "insulting to Italians".This goes back to your Change post, as you see, my hood is pretty boring, and THESE are the things people are concerned with. That and driving blacks out.ANyway, American TV is just so afraid to actually depict something realistic, or too busy trying to be PC.WANKERS------------------ WAIT STOP...p00h HAS MY DRUGS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back2basics- Posted April 26 Author Report Share Posted April 26 Yup i know.you should try some freelance comedy writting, write some skits and get em off to comedians. Yeh the TV over here 'sucks hairy ass', it's all the bloody same 100 chanels and not one thing to watch (i guess there are things like the Soprano's but i carn't even tollerate that).. And whats with all this bleeping shit?If anybody gets chance watch This Life, it's one of the best things i have seen on the box. It's like freids but REAL.They would LOVE you in London.------------------I want to go out blazing..not fade away.Trust in the currency of relationships, it's hard to earn but easy to loose - back2basics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starchild- Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Most of it's better, some of it's worse.Good: New shows, Top of the Pops, FilmFour, actual news (its amazing how obvilious the US is to the rest of the world), House of Commons (hilarious), Music Videos.Bad: Comedy Game Shows, Eastenders. Benny hill really wasn't shown much when I lived there in 98/99... never liked him much...Can someone explain the appeal of shows like the Eastenders? I know there's lots of bad comedy, but I'm still confused on that thing...[This message has been edited by starchild- (edited 04-26-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugwump Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Well it certainly has to be better than Italian TV. I lived in Rome for seven years and had to watch the worst shit I've ever seen in my life. (Aperantly David Hasselhof is still top notch up there)American TV is too formulated these days in the sence that even the comic shows that grow on you are like watching a formula for comic writing class 101 (give or take a couple shows like Denis Leary's new show which will prob end up the way Jay Mohr's hysterical show ended up.)Even the State or Kids in the Hall sometimes fealt like Monty Python rip offs but just as the Brits have their share of gold and spot lights at the moment us YANKS still have:Classic SNLOld Bugs and Warner brothersRen and StimpyThe SimpsonsJerry Springer (which could very well be animated)Beavus and Butthead (come on you know you use to imitate Buthead before they blew up)The State (my Fav skit show of the last decade)and all the those really freaky public television shows with Elvis look alike's dancing around and ghetto video camera booty grinding shit!GOD BLESS OUR STUPIDITY!------------------ "Cartoons are the real deal.

cathyo Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 I can't say I've seen anything other than comedy but, that is certainly funny. I loved The Young Ones, Mr. Bean, Benny Hill...------------------ ~*~*~Don't use time or words carelessly, neither can be retrieved.~*~*~ AIM: cathyoNYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to love stuff like the Word (ok it was trashy, but funny as hell)League of Gentlemen is about the funniest thing.Lui Tharoughs(sp) weird weekends was ok as well, that's on Bravo tonight actually.------------------I want to go out blazing..not fade away.Trust in the currency of relationships, it's hard to earn but easy to loose - back2basics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boa_boy Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Back in Australia we used to get the best of both worlds (ah hem), british & american TV.......I agree with Matta Benny Hill is shite, prior to departure the only british show I watched was Cold Feet (which is running on Bravo over here)......As for the American TV, I confess to enjoying the David E Kelley dramas, the only thing new I've discovered is Tom Green and in particular Jack Ass on MTV, Jack Ass being a great closer to a weekend ------------------New Residency!
