I am devastated that Alan Young, Wilbur Post has died aged 96! Was there a better sitcom in the 60's? And he was great in the Time Machine with Rod Taylor. They just don't do sitcoms these days that have such ridiculous scenarios that work so well. The Addams Family, Munsters, Mr Ed, Batman, Get Smart, has TV comedy ever been better than in the 60's? 

 

Have to agree for the most part...and add to that list My Mother the Car, The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction etc.

There have been moments of brilliance since (The Bob Newhart Show, Seinfeld etc) but they have been few and far between.

Yes agreed DC, I think Larry Storch only died last year aged in his mid 90's. Not sure how Calamity Jane is going these days? But I need to add McHale's Navy for balance, Captain Bingham and Ensen Parker was it? 

But my oversight was to say US situation comedy!

Brittish humour is another story, we had numerous comedy classics like Monty Python, Not the 1948 Show, Not Only But Also, Q8, Yes Minister, Yes Prime Minister, the Two Ronnies, the Royals, ABFAB, Black Adder, The Office, it goes on and on.

British humour at its best is the best. I don't believe you can top Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in full flight, 

And I have not included Please Sir, Mind your Language, On the Buses or Benny Hill. Got to set the taste bar somewhere! 

On the passing of figures from the more than memorable past of comedy, the death of Bert Kwouk (Cato in the Pink Panther films) has just been announced.

That was really An attack that I did not expect.

Quite a surprise.

Mr Ed was a comic genius

his timing was unsurpassed. 

Wilbur would have learnt a lot working alongside such talent..

British humor is such a case of two extremes - you have the brilliance of comedies you mentioned in the third paragraph and then the last paragraph ..ewww....

I am a huge fan of Ricky Gervais and I thought his genius really shone in his series "extras"  - he wanted so badly to be an actor of note and the only great success he had was in a sitcom that fell squarely  in the "on the buses" genre. The conflict he portrayed in that he loved the fame and success and this was countered by his hated of the product. "derrick" was a masterpiece IMO - had me laughing and crying constantly.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
