What used that method of storytelling first - Family Guy, or Arrested Development?
Family Guy by quite a long way.
I like the incredibly long cutaway sketches - sometimes quite serious and deliberately dramatic - in which you get the complete story of a murder or something. They really push the envelope with those.
I always felt 15 Storeys High had a unique style to it. Anyone able to gimme some shows with a similar style?
'Last of the Summer Wine', which currently juggles about 9 or 10 different strands in one thirty-minute episode?
I'm joking, sort of, but I watched episode 2 of this latest series last night and found that very bizarre. It's not far off being a sketch show about Yorkshire pensioners now.

Isn't that something to do with insurance reasons? They can only afford insurance for one scene per show of Wallace.
