I badly needed some distraction tonight, so put in a DVD from Netflix of
episodes of Yes, Prime Minister. I don't know how it compares with other
similar British series, but I found it very funny. A couple references were
lost
on me, but on the whole it was very smart and subtle comedy. The only thing I
found truly annoying was the laugh track they seem to feel necessary to put
behind these things. I don't *want* to be told when I'm supposed to laugh,
or encouraged to do so by "infectious" laughter. Is anyone else familiar w/
these pieces? I'm sure Judy is. Are they unusual in any way in comparison
with most British comedy series?
