This was basically a lame excuse to trot out a lot of tired, unfunny clips, most of them of recent vintage, interspersed with talking head stuff from writers, comedians and television executives. The way they continue to insist there is nothing wrong with today's comedies, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, reminded me of the 'Black Knight' scene from 'Monty Python & The Holy Grail'. The only half-decent one I've seen lately has been Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker's 'Nathan Barley'. 'The Office' was held up as a shining example of the 'brilliant' stuff around now, despite it not being a sitcom. Surely the fact that this programme exists at all must tell them something? I don't remember there being a 'Who Killed The Sitcom?' back in the 70's and '80's. Programme makers were too busy making funny shows, not analysing what's gone wrong with the genre. Public taste has changed, of that there's no doubt. For the worse, alas. I look forward to 'Who Killed Reality T.V.' in the not-too distant future.
