ost_uid0]The closest thing to a current comedy series that I liked was the live-action version of [i
ost_uid0]The Tick[/i
ost_uid0], which was so frequently preempted by election coverage in 2000 that it never caught hold. (Can't get NBC here, so I've never seen [i
ost_uid0]Scrubs[/i
ost_uid0].)
Looking back a bit, there are, of course, [i
ost_uid0]Monty Python's Flying Circus[/i
ost_uid0] and [i
ost_uid0]Blackadder[/i
ost_uid0], and I have fond memories of such shows as [i
ost_uid0]My Favorite Martian[/i
ost_uid0] and [i
ost_uid0]Get Smart![/i
ost_uid0] Mention is also due to [i
ost_uid0]Police Squad[/i
ost_uid0] and the short-lived Buck Henry/Mel Brooks creation [i
ost_uid0]When Things Were Rotten[/i
ost_uid0].[/color
