Because it was rubbish. You can always watch 12 episodes of the latest american bollox instead...lost or some other such gick.

from what I remember (mainly based on 90's repeats as I was only born in 83) while not the 9' O Clock news was great Smith and Jones was one step up the rung from Hale and Pace

It was great, so funny. Been watching loads of clips of it on youtube recently. They are 2 really funny guys, really underated.

Anyway what do you like then? No doubt some bollix like the it crowd, or little britain or or or the catherine tate show.

:mad:

LoLth

Iancurtis and Shamblertine, please keep the discussion civil.

It is rare for comedy to continue for a number of years. Comedy moves on from year to year. I am surprised that Sacha Baron Cohen is still going. But it is better to move on and be nostaligic than ask "Why aren't they still on the air?" because you end up getting abuse.

Sham, to tell you the truth I find it hard to watch television these days. Every few months some american show is hyped to hell and finds itself all over every channel.

Usually the show is crap and riddled with clichés: Lost, 24, The Wire, House, Greys Anatomy, Desperate Housewives...you name it

I can still bear to watch Dragon's Den, The Apprentice...but for comedy I watch my dvds of I'm Alan Partridge, Extras, The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm

Smith and Jones weren't bad, but it had definitely run it's course

I think you need to sit down and watch The Wire. It should never touch the other shows that you mention.

I would also recommend you take a look at

ER
The Practice
Homicide: Life on the Streets
OZ
Mad Men

But yeah you go back to watching the Brothers :rolleyes:
