scgaynor"I really enjoy watching the show in a demographic of varying age and people with knowledge in differing fields all in the same room. It's great when one person laughs, and nobody else "gets it". Then, the kids will laugh at something the "old fogies" might mot be well-versed in (perhaps a modern technology/fad/video game reference). This might be followed up by a joke that everyone gets. That, to me, is the quintessential nucleus of the show's genius!"
Jodi, you should watch Arrested Developement, the short lived Fox sitcom from a couple of years ago. It is probably the best sitcom ever, but you have to pay attention and watch every episode in order otherwise it is hard to follow. Almost every line is a joke, play on words, pun, etc. I have probably watched every episode 5 or 6 times and each time I catch something new. It is that good! It was a huge hit with critics, but the reason that it only lated three seasons is that the humor was too intelligent for the normal person.
