I've been a Britcom fan since Doctor In The House (late 60's).The more recent ones are,as you say,are pretty bad but many of them,up to (and including) the first couple of seasons of Ab Fab,were great.
‘Absolutely fabulous’ had its moments. As did ‘are you being served’.
Now.....Lots of PC crap......like American tv lately.
Now, non-network American dramas have bits of hilarity. Breaking Bad, Fargo and Better Call Saul for existence. For networks..... House. Dramas that make you laugh out loud at times.
