7.16 The Table Polarization

[Trust No One]

I think he real problem is these writers don't know how to write a dramady. I consider M.A.S.H to be one of the best American comedy shows ever. The writers knew when to leave a dramatic moment alone and let you feel for the characters and what was happening. There is nothing wrong with crying during a comedy, to me it makes you feel like the characters are going through something "real". The fact that TBTB can't let a moment happen without a joke thrown in to negate any real feeling that was created is either lack of talent, laziness or stupidity.

Great example with M.A.S.H. I loved how this show was able to replace characters without missing a beat. The new characters had to earn their place and the characters already on the show did not just fawn over the new characters. Amy would never have been allowed to walk in and take over.
