Paramount screws up!

limerick_man

Ok now for a long time this has been my fav., station... but sex and the city and ally macbeal replaced real comedy up until now!!!

The whole point of Paramount 2 is to take all the stupid British, while paramount enjoys foreign comedy (mainly american but it alos host podge and rodge)! But now they have put on the worst type of British "comedy" 'The young ones', 'Coogans run', trailer park boys', and they have comic strip presents... which i have no idea what it is about (but its new!

Frasier has also been cut !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it would be so much better if they kept it american and added stuff like saturday night live, married with chidren, and kept frasier!

What do u think???

What are you on about. Stupid? Coogans Run is brilliant. The Comic Strip was hit and miss but some great episodes.

The Young Ones is a classic, are they showing the second series now? How many episodes were there? They seem to only ever show about 5 episodes.

I thought their A-Team ad for this was very good

I am well pissed off that they decided to take off Saturday Night Live. It was one of my favourite shows.

Is that off paramount 2 as well, or just 1! Only have 1 down here!

Yeah and Seinfeld won't be on at 8 pm every evening any more. :mad:

Aww, that sucks.

SEINFELD IS FINISHED AT 8?!? NOOOOOOO! Then again - they had started re-running them again since Paramount started, I take it they can only show certain seasons or something?

BTW - Coogan's run is hysterical. I was watching it for the first time a few nights ago - loving it!

Agent Orange

Coogan's Run is terrible - Dearth of a Salesman is the only decent episode of the entire series.

I'm looking forward to the Comic Strip stuff though, particularly The Strike and Bad News.
