Where's the funny on TV lately?
I've had "comedy" recommended to me, such as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but I find it more sad than amusing. I've enjoyed Star Trek: Lower Decks, but more for the in-jokes than for any really good comedic writing or acting. The last comedy series I really enjoyed was The Big Bang Theory. Repetitive as it got in its final seasons, it always featured sharp jokes, characters you could like, and actors with range. Avenue 5 was fun and I await its second season.
Has the ability to tell a funny story in 30 minutes or less disappeared? Must everything be "bitter-sweet"? Or "dramedy"? For that matter, why is the only sketch comedy on TV Saturday Night Live?
I want to laugh!
