Canned laughter - don't you Americans know when something is funny ??
You obviously don't - you turn decent performers e.g.Billy Connolly and Tracy Ullman etc into dickheads..........and those TV hosts who telegraph their ad-libs. What is wrong with you all.
Saving grace - you've got Gene Wilder - who is genuinely,inteligently funny .......but the rest of them are as funny as a kick in the balls.
Why don't you know how to leave things alone ?
My son who is 23 shares my love of the original Bilko Series ( in black and white ) quick , slick ,devious and great loveable rogue.
Then you brought out a Hollyewood version - what for? - why can't you keep success precious .
Sorry - British humour has it by a mile - I love it.
