Smart/Funny versus I Love Lucy I laughed when I read the 1 star reviews of these shows. People saying that there was no real plots, no characters that they could "love" and no punchline. I laughed because that is EXACTLY the point of this very clever comedy. You therefore, I repectfully say, have missed the point by miles. This comedy is very deep, very very flawed characters, two or three story strands per episode, very clever and funny observational humour and NEVER a happy ending. Making it funny and original, especially compared with the conveyer belt apple-pie twee non-humour comedies that get churned out every week onto our televisions. If the 1 star people want cuddly characters and domestic humour, then I Love Lucy and The Cosby Show are all still running. Me, I prefer this cutting edge humour of now. People mention Mash, but Mash (brilliant) was very much cutting edge and of its time in the same way. Ignore the people who dont get it. You americans should be very proud of producing this type of comedy. Its universal and brilliant!
