Did you forget Lead Balloon, Wheeler? And Supernova?
I'm gutted I missed all this, being diverted with a new script. Wheeler, you are the forum's gladiatorial equivalent of Maximus Insultimus Forumica. That's one troll and a trainee down. Good shooting. And you're right imo to stick with the current signature, it was a true classic wittered from the mouth of the archetype of all trolls. Gawd rest his soul.
The comment re: comedy-drama being neither one nor the other was a joke but it does have imo a grain of truth. All comedy has drama elements; all drama has comedy elements but up until recent times a show was designated as either drama or comedy. There was no real confusion about where a show fitted. No arguments over which department would produce it. So why the sudden need for this new label?
When a new genre is created it's because a product can't easily be defined by existing genres. So when something is not funny enough to be called (as in the past) a straight comedy or dramatic enough to be called (as in the past) a straight drama, execs created the concept of comedy-drama. Stating that it's neither one nor the other isn't (imo) necessarily a negative statement. It's my perception of the shows labelled comedy-drama that I've seen so far. It's only my perception and I am, after all, a nobody in this business so my opinion is mere opinion and unlikely to ever concern broadcasting commissioners.
