I was very put out the first time I saw repeats of M*A*S*H on a TV channel here - and it had a laugh track! When the BBC showed it in the 80s there was no laugh track and I much preferred it.

So cute! I keep all my pencils in a Mickey Mouse (in morning suit) mug - but perhaps some could travel in Peanuts...
And I do NOT promise you will find any of these funny - but my favourite comedies are: Auntie Mame Groundhog Day Best in Show and, of course - Blackadder. It's been YEARS since I've seen Bringing Up Baby - they certainly don't write 'em like that anymore. Back then a writer had to rely on WIT. If you need fifty expletives to tell your joke - it probably ain't funny. With you totally on end-credits chat (I DEFINITELY don't want to hear about child killers!) - but what really annoys me is when I want to read the cast of a film - and they minimise the credits to show an advert for whatever's next (SKY! ). Sort of related...when we were at the hotel in Hawkchurch, they played the same CD in the restaurant both nights. And one of the tracks was "Suicide is Painless" - played on the marimba! And yes - laugh tracks are a bad sign. If you have to TELL ME it's funny, it probably isn't. What was best about M*A*S*H was the gallows humour - and that isn't usually LOL stuff... |

During our amazing meal in Victoria & Albert's in Dec 2010, a harpist was playing Christmas songs, Disney songs ... and 'Suicide Is Painless'.

I'd forgotten about Groundhog Day - must watch that again. I haven't seen the other two, so I may hunt them out. (I (probably) won't hold you responsible if I don't find them funny! )
Thanks for the suggestions.

Well that day started off a bit easier than yesterday. I'm looking forward to reading about Boston over the next few days and getting some tips for when I finally get to visit.
