Telly's Gone To Shit
A few weeks back I almost posted about The I.T. Crowd, but it now seems that the best two episodes of this series were screened first. Since then it's lapsed into the mediocre pattern set by the first series. I like Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry a lot, but I can't help thinking that the writing & direction could be a lot sharper.
Saxondale series 2 was a disappointment that struggled to squeeze a single half-hearted laugh each episode. I haven't seen Peter Serafinovich's sketch show but the trailers make me shudder.
I've been watching a lot of Frasier which is being flogged on Channel 4 in the mornings, such is the paucity of new, good comedy.
However.... there is a bright shining light! Flight of The Conchords on BBC4. Which reminds me of a lot of things without ever feeling derivative. It's a hip Peep Show with Beck providing the songs and OK Go directing. Actually, that's a shit description. You'll just have to watch it yourself.
