The internet is way better than TV, obviously.

I'm currently deciding whether or not to give up on watching comedy TV altogether.
It's the same with comedy movies.
I see them as being crafted by people with some creativity, then bastardised with bad jokes and clichés, with promotions that appeal to the lower-to-middle classes.
They're products of commercialism, money-making pieces of 'art', with no true purpose other than to sell, sell, sell, to an audience that I don't want to be part of.
And advertising to the target audience is highlighting one-line innuendos, slapstick, and a quick glimpse of the plot - dysfunctional family, odd couple, strange profession are all guaranteed ratings.
Admittedly, South Park and Futurama are awesome. South Park obviously, but I don't know about Futurama. It got cancelled didn't it? Yeah, that can be my argument.
