I will be writing about British comedy against America comedy not which is funnier but how us Brits seam to cut our comedy short so it becomes almost cult like, where as in America there comedies seam to go on and on. My favorite comedy show is Frasier and that went on for a long time 10 seasons and even now watching them even though the show has been over for a long time still makes me laugh. Other shows which have lasted for a long time in America are Friends which is well liked. Shows in America that lasted for a long time but maybe shouldnt are King of Queens, Everyone loves Raymond and Two and a half men. This shows never changed the characters never evolved and I wonder how they managed to stay on the tv for so long. Other shows in America that are funny new and the characters evolve are dismissed and cut short such as Arrested development and the life and times of tim. These shows are well watched in Britain and has taken the cult like mentality of a British comedy. Americans stretch out there shows well after they have run there course and long after the last laugh. In contrary British comedies are a short bang then a slow burner shows such as faulty towers and the office this shows are well liked and well followed. A British show that should of been cut short is Gavin and Stacey the first two seasons were good and the third was a poor showing compared to the others.
**I ll continue this another time no one read this anyway so it doesnt matter Im a right lazy ..........
