A picture is worth 1000 words.

Humor is so selective anyway. Stephen Wright versus Elayne Boosler, for example. Anything by that dreadful bunch in Friends. The list drags on. For every belly laugh the Golden Age of TV gave us there were twenty more laughtracked sitcom duds we'd dearly love to forget...until a DVD set comes out. (My Mother the Car...seriously?!?)

How can we explain the sheer novelty of the acts THESE kids are seeing in a third-generation diluted form? Sid Caesar. Mel Brooks. Your Show of Shows. Milton freaking Berle. Lou and Bud and Dean and Jerry. Funny. Now it's dark and mordant.

Wright and Newhart genius being replaced by foul mouthed Chris Rock types.
Nothing will ever beat "Who's On First" type writing, Laurel and Hardy comedic timing.
Yeah, we're getting old too....

No offense intended, it's just easier and quicker to type.
