That's exactly what I was saying Oldrocker.
Only you said it better.
Frankly, The Office, Gavin and Stacey, and all that are okay, but they won't endure.
A fleeting moment in time - revered by those who are somewhat desperate to prove that the modern is as good as the old days.
The old days weren't always great (understatement).
But the bottom line is that something is funny, or it isn't.
My view is that if comedy has to be explained, or if only a particular section of the audience "get it" then it doesn't deserve to be rated as a classic.
All comedy shows have absolute stinkers from time to time, old and new - it seems to me that there's a generation gap going on here. To my way of thinking, if something makes me laugh, it's funny.
Thing is - when people have to tell me why I should find it funny - I tend to switch off. I can draw my own conclusions thankyou very much.
I think Little Britain is for the most part execrable garbage, but I don't expect everybody would agree. We all have opinions.
That's what it's all about.
