Yes indeed - the best thing on British TV at the mo is Six Feet Under, which is of course American.
When did we (UK) stop making good TV comedy? I guess it was about when we stopped making the best rock music (somewhere between 1988 and 1993). Mind you, Dom Joly and Chris Morris are still pretty funny. And so are Coldplay and Radiohead.
But when it comes to radio comedy, radio 4 is still unsurpassed -- ISIHAC is the funniest thing since, erm ISIRTA, and in fact a lot funnier, and the News Quiz is just well, I mean, the only time I've ever hospitalised myself by laughing was down to the News Quiz (that was back when Barry Took was chairing. Ouch)
Bill Oddie was rather amusing in his day, too ([sings] Well, I've got a brand new Rolls Royce motorcar, and I'll give you the key...)
