A couple of years ago you'd have shows which would discuss stuff which is now taboo, and now completely unexplored by the TV comedy scene. It's like they're all afraid of the world around them, and would rather disappear into a world of blissful ignorance, dealing with small, irrelevant issues and essentially all just trying to pursue mainstream success to the cost of originality, and more importantly, quality.
I believe that there has never been a better time to use comedy as a way of confronting things which others clearly don't want to talk about, or simply don't care about.
what so desperately needs addressing right now?
