Looking at your favourites’ episode guide you must have noticed how comedy series are an important part of today e. After the invention of television comedy was no longer the specialty of cafes and clubs only like the famous funny bone comedy club in Columbus, Ohio. Even though comedy club is still the favourites place to go out for many folks especially in big cities like New York. Of course before television arrives you could see comedy at the movies too which revealed lots of talents who have been later featured on television too.
A new trend today is to make comedy video clips. After the success of comedy skits which became popular in the 70's with NBC's Saturday Night live, these clips are quite a change as they can feature different places in a same video, which is especially needed when doing a romantic comedy with lots of quiproqous. Of course, times have changed since Dante's divine comedy but the purpose of comedy has always been and still will be to entertain before any other goal.
But it is sure that today's comedy tv shows are often disappointing as they are neither entertaining nor uplifting. Comedy films used to be both in their golden area in the 40's and 50's but today they fail the comparison with their ancestry's tv landscape
