I like good comedy in all forms, and a good sketch show is one of the best forms invented.

That scared the life out of me when he used to say that
Love sketch shows, when they get it right and you know the characters, it's a great buzz just watching the sketch unfold.
Morecambe and Wise, Dick Emery, The Fast Show, Smith and Jones...e.t.c.

We've been through this so many times I can't even remember what my original stance was...
What sketch shows have you seen to convince you they are God awful? Some of my favourite comedies are sketch shows. I think they're good for performers and writers, as they can do a whole range of scenarios and characters.
I dislike lazy sketch shows.
I.e. sketch shows that regurgitate the same gag/scenario week after week like what happened with Little Britain.
I think with sketch shows there is just too much hit and miss. Even Monty P wasn't flawless.

Surely that's the idea, allowing experimentation with small ideas that may grow.
