The wit amused me. I have not a clue about your sitcom - not even any clips 
- so won't judge!

Christ, you're easily pleased! If you ever watched Only Fools and Horses you'd have a coronary.
Easily pleased? Well, only on the comedy front.

Well, I wasn't suggesting you were easily pleased in other areas. I'm not going to come round and do a little sexy dance and give you a back rub or anything.

Paxman IS funny though.

Compared to lemon calculators he's bill hicks and eddie murphy combined.
Just to recap, are all the people dismissing this show doing so on the basis of a few clips? Or have they seen it?
really, really looking forward to this.
No one has seen it yet.

A trailer is designed to showcase a show and make people watch it.
It's representative of the show and anyone is allowed to make a positive or negative judgement based on the two minutes or so of material in those trailers. That's why we have trailers.
How is me saying 'It wasn't funny, I don't think it'll be any good' any less allowed than 'It made me laugh, I think it'll be good'. It's not. Both are valid opinions.
I've watched the clips and made a judgement based around those: That it won't be any good.
I'll still watch it, of course, and I hope I'm surprised. But I don't think I will.
Nowadays I don't pay attention to trailers. I remember avoiding watching Pulling simply because the trailer made it look awful. Yet when I watched it eighteen months later I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I also remember The IT Crowd trailer lowering my expectations on that show considerably. The Office and Flight of The Conchords also had pretty bad trailers... Trailers: worthless. Especially for brand new shows.

Except that, cos I don't watch any ads, I may miss the programme entirely. So, almost worthless.
