Are We Living In A Golden Age Of Tv Drama And A Bronze Age Of Tv Comedy
37 Answers
This was put to me by a friend (who works in telly) at a bar last night, and I think he has a point.
I can't remember a time when there was so many excellent dramas on tv, and so few good comedies.
Personal opinion (obviously), in the past few years, we've had:
Dr Foster
The Fall
House of Cards
Damages
Missing
Endeavour
Downton Abbey
Deutschland 83
The Bridge
The Killing
Spin
Borgen
Wallander
Mr Robot
Breaking Bad
Empire
The Wire
Mad Men
Peaky Blinders
Sherlock
The Returned
Humans
Game of Thrones
Homeland
Narcos
Fargo (second series, NOT the first)
True Detective (first series, NOT the second)
And comedies?
Modern Family
Err...that's it.
Do you agree or disagree? I literally can't think of any decent sitcoms on TV apart from MF!

But the really odd thing is sitcoms.
Okay...I forgot to include W1A, Twenty Twelve, Hunderby and Getting On, but right now the biggest sitcom we have is Miranda, which to me is just a tall woman falling in to cardboard boxes every eight minutes.

What happened???
I find it really hard to find anything on tv that I want to watch....most of it is unchallenging pap... or just an update on old programmes. I am convinced daytime tv is simply a government plot to dull the senses of the population and am rapidly coming to the conclusion that most of the rest of it is too.
