Have a word about Miranda, Citizen Khan and Russell Howard too
Oh while you are there a mention for Sarah Millican, James Corden, Russel Brand, Russel Kane, Jack Whitehall.
Thanks in advance
Morecambe and Wise had find tuned their act over decades and it helped with them being so likeable too.
Agree with you on Porridge. Brilliantly written, beautifully acted and some great storylines (Christmas is cancelled, the judge who tried Fletcher being sent down himself etc.)
A brilliant sitcom for me and surely in the top 3 sitcoms of all time.
Grendel doesn't like Clement and La Frenais I don't think, because he has also been very critical of the Likely Lads, which I think is another brilliantly written piece of comedy by the same writers.
La Frenais and Clement also went on to write Auf Wiedershen Pet.
Never watched Lovejoy at all, so can't comment. Don't think I ever seen saw any ads for it.And Lovejoy
Comedy tends not to age well anyway. Sure even George and Mildred was great in its day!With the old comics you tend to just see compilations of the best bits which makes you remember them nostalgically as 100% hilarious. Watch an episode end to end and it's quite hit and miss
I loved Morecombe and Wise but not sure ever laugh out loud funny ( bar the ice cream van moment) though it could just be the endless repeats of the scenes.

Russell Howard though I can watch for an hour and not even smirk. Audience meanwhile are nearly drowning in their own piss

Morecambe and Wise shows haven't aged well. Their classic scenes still remain classics, but the shows on the whole now look very hit and miss.Comedy tends not to age well anyway. Sure even George and Mildred was great in its day!
I have heard people (mostly women) in his early days suggesting he is a great comedian. So I have given him several chances...but in what must be 3hrs of material have probably heard 1min of actual funny stuff. A pretty poor return...in fact Boris Johnson has a far better hit-rate. It's the way he tells 'em!The alleged comedian Russell Brand has to be hands down the least funny and most obnoxious individual on TV.
Traits presumably inherited from his equally obnoxious and unfunny father Jo.
Do you mean Lee Hurst?What happened to the bald lee evans
Kelly Monteith, funny guy.Anybody remember Kelly Montieth or Billy Peirce
I can hack Millican in fact seeing her in Warwick Arts centre later this year.Have a word about Miranda, Citizen Khan and Russell Howard too

Still doing shows, mostly S of London, but he can't get on telly because he has relatively right wing views.Do you mean Lee Hurst?
Geoffrey Robinson nobbled him.Always liked Charlie Brookers form of TV satire .
Special mention for the Mark Thomas Product back in the day.
Whatever happened to him, I guess not enough shared my view .
The Wrong Mans was very good. Liked that a lot.I can hack Millican in fact seeing her in Warwick Arts centre later this year.
I liked Corden in "The Wrong Mens", not keen on his chat stuff.
You missed the dire Mrs Browns Boys from that list.. it is the pits.
Michael MacIntyre I can't stand either.
Was a piece in Q magazine (a who does he think he is article I think) about 20 years ago on Hurst and you'd hardly describe his views as right wing. He was vitriolicly anti Murdoch as I recall.Still doing shows, mostly S of London, but he can't get on telly because he has relatively right wing views.
He's pro Brexit i think but that often gets conflated with being right wingWas a piece in Q magazine (a who does he think he is article I think) about 20 years ago on Hurst and you'd hardly describe his views as right wing. He was vitriolicly anti Murdoch as I recall.

To be fair a lot of his outlook is very similar to mine.
I may be wrong on the reasons. It might be largely down to health problems, has a condition that mean his vertebrae are fusing.
I will look into it a bit more when I get more time.
Bit of pedantry, but I don't think 'Trade descriptions' have a telephone number. You could try 'Trading Standards' instead.As Mel and Sue describe themselves as a comedy duo.

I wanted to do Pedantry as a GSCE, but the school wouldn't let me. They wrote to me saying 'your not allowed to choose it as a subject.' I of course immediately went to correct them on 'your' and they were not overly impressed.
Nah, you avin' a laff.Mrs Brown's Boys makes me think it would be the sitcom that Andy Millman landed the lead role in right before his life went to shit.
Billy Pearce.....shudder!Anybody remember Kelly Montieth or Billy Peirce
