EDIT - i mean i agree that i'd prefer to see UK stand up, not the bit about shock comedians

true
i think usa sitcoms are great. i think many are far better than uk ones. we have had some good stuff such as peep show and farther ted, but to be honerst i think many usa shows are just better. i love taxi, cheers, frazer as well as the cartoons such as king of the hill and so on. fantastic. plus while we do 6 shows at a time they make maky in one go. its often so well done. i can watch married with children over and over. and classics such as sergent bilko.
but usa stand up is crap. once you have seen there act, often its repeated.
i have seen chris rock doing stand up. love him in films, but as for as stand up, its dull. and billy cristal is bland.
by the way one of the best usa shows i have seen is curb your enthousam. fatastic.
i consider laral and hardy the best. and abbot and cotelo two of the finest ever. in fact that basball thing they do is arsome.
i am not having a go at the usa. i am just sayingf stand up sucks, but the sit coms are amazing.
