Just for laughs

this is a very good writeup on singapore-produced sitcoms and what's the matter with them...

i agree with the insight that as much as people want to be different and want to try new humor, by and large we are still governed by the viewers, which affect the ratings, which in turn affect the bottom line. As such, more often than not, most producers/writers tend to go for the tried-and-tested type of humor.

which is why wifey and i both love american shows because they dare to try the market. They dare to try and fail and then move on with the next big thing, always trying, always daring and never afraid to fail.

i guess also us viewers as a whole in singapore need to evolved and thus demand for more intelligent and challenging humor before change can happen....

and that might not even be possible for the next 2 generations i reckon....
