[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2348285, member: 30309"] Comedy evolves, just like everything else. It's hard to compare one generation of funnymen (funnywomen?) to another. Charlie Chaplan was funny for his generation Three stooges were funny for their generation While they are entertaining now (I know, some will disagree) - those shows, put on today, would not be met with roaring applause and laughter. Nothing wrong them, and they can be appreciated with great respect and admiration. They have a place in the history of comedy, just like Benny Hill and the cast of "are you being Served?" - great funny stuff. That's why so many rebooted shows don't make it. Same can be said for sitcoms, spin-offs and dramas. Look at what happened to Dallas when it was rebooted - show augured in the ground as fast as a show possibly could. BAM! Or that god-awful remake of Knight Rider :screwy: [/QUOTE]
