What defines a traditional British sitcom? Page 3

Quote: Godot Taxis @ December 4 2008, 3:57 PM GMT

Get f**ked. You have to take the rough with the smooth with me. I swear at everyone, it's nothing personal - except in your case. The fact that you think I have nothing constructive to say doesn't bode well for your 'academic' career: I made two useful points - that sitcom is a reactionary form that tends to resist innovation, in all but superficial ways and that formal innovation is the only real determinant of innovation nowadays, for some reason. The fact that you missed both of these points and misjudged the tone of my post completely, suggests that your essay will be something of a fool's errand.

I can vouch for that! But when does the smooth start Godot? I'm owed me some smooth!

I fear I can't avoid them forever, one day our paths shall cross, and you can look upon me, in the flesh, with pure, awful disdain!

Is that a post ironic comedic thanks or are you appreciating the actually not so off the mark inherent wisdom?
