My, but you are as subtle as an ax murderer, and whew boy, tact oozing out of every orifice. Insult an entire nation’s entertainment industry, why don’t you.

You have to realize Jazzy, that not everybody has the same sense of humour. What you consider funny might be dead boring to another person and vice versa. This was discussed in a previous thread (I can’t find it now) but it might be interesting for you to look it up. The differences in English/U.S./Canadian humour was discussed.

Even with the ole mecca you got there, some pretty bad stinkers are being put out every year, don’t you agree?

True, the sitcoms imported from the U.K. are probably not your cup of tea; they seem to be aimed at an older crowd. Have you ever seen Red Dwarf – this is aimed at a younger crowd and is quite funny. I'd give it a chance. Expanding your horizons expands your mind.
