[QUOTE="yachtboy"][QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]American variety? It's all crude, violent humor. British put style in and have very unique comedies. Tonnes more variety.DmadFearmongerI am a fan of British shows thanks to my aunt and grandpa being "british lovers?" But when you speak about "modern British variety" you have to remember that they made skins because British tv was being overrun with American shows and Britain just couldn't make anything good. With that said.... skins (the British version not the crap u.s. version) was a great show.Haven't actually seen skins, should check it out. But britains making plenty of great shows. The Mighty Boosh, The IT Crowd, Black books being my favorite modern British comedies.
Black Books is brilliant and The IT Crowd isn't bad, but it's a bit of a stretch to say The Mighty Boosh is a comedy. Horrendous show. How anybody can mistake attempts at being 'weird' as humour is beyond me.
Bob's Burgers is great, really promising stuff. I don't quite get the comparisons with Family Guy and American Dad though. The humour certainly has it's irreverent moments, but it has the occasional emotional touches of early Simpsons.
And I couldn't agree more about The Cleveland Show. Even worse than current episodes of The Simpsons.
