You truly can't say that GH is a laugh every other line???

No, probably at least every minute though.

Anyway, I don't know where you're getting this rule from really. I think it's changed several times even in this thread!

You do it for me BB! ;)

Well I wouldn't really say The Royle Family, which you mentioned earlier, is either.

I don't have many heroes... but he is one.

Nothing makes me want to write more than watching a good Woody Allen film.

I wonder is this the north/south divide then and GH is southern humour which I am just not getting?
But I do normally love Jewish humour which this isn't...big time.

I just don't fit into any of these. I find them both funny.. Am I a freak?

I'd like to find it funny and believe me I have tried but as I said the lines are said too quickly and without seeing a response from the actor at the end of that line before another line is said. I truly think now that it's the editing at fault.

Without wanting to stir this hornet's nest any further, can I just say that for me, this leans more towards comedy drama, in the same way The Royle Family did. Although I don't agree with BB's definition of what makes a sitcom a sitcom.
