there is brilliant TV: Mad Men, The Wire, Band of Brothers, Deadwood...
- yardie 16y agothose are all dramas, big budget dramas too. I have yet to encounter a 30 minute comedy I would consider brilliant. But this show gets chuckles and the jokes are easy enough for most people to understand, even my non-IT wife understood the Googling Google joke. No, Arrested development is not brilliant in the same way as The Wire. In fact, nothing is as brilliant as the wire; TV for me was ruined after the wire concluded.
- pclark 16y agoIMHO Brilliant Comedies: 30 Rock, The Office, How I Met Your Mother & It's Always Sunny in Philly Community is awesome but very early, too.
- confuzatron 16y agoI am picturing po-faced cowboys of the period watching Deadwood and then whingeing that the dialog isn't realistic.
