What about Checkerboard Nightmare? NNNYNY. (there are strips from 2000, but according to the author, it really begins here.)

You are aware that your conclusion was just what you critized throughout your entire text, right? A morally lecturing sarcasm disguised as a joke.

Seriously, man, take your own advise.

Oh, and I happen to like sarcasms diguised as jokes. Blackadder, for an instance, pulls those of perfectly (Though I suppose you could argue some of those are jokes disguised as sarcasms). I do agree that most American sit coms are of lousy quality, though. But there are exceptions, I do, for example, like Friends very much, but you are entitled to your own opinion, no matter what I think about it.

Point of the post: be a little less agressive, and your point gets sold to more people - those who already think, say Friends, are lousy agree with you already anyway. So the purpose of the text logically would be to try make other people see the light. Openly badmouthing shows they might like is not the way to do this, as they then will stop reading, or read the rest with a hostile position towards your opinions.

I do agree American shows could learn a hell of a lot from the British ones. I do not agree that American sit coms are only good when they copy that exact formula. Variation is important, or all shows would start being more and more alike each other, and that would just be plain boring. This is (one of the) the trap(s) most American shows have fallen into, and your suggestions would just make all the potentionally good shows fall into the same trap, only in the other end of the genre.

Well, seeing as how when you buy books through lulu, everything that's not printing costs or lulu's commision goes to the author, buying it in print would be sort of donating to get a cooler version...
