I think we should seperate radio and tv.

We have a problem here. Do we merge with British sitcom or distinguish between genres? In the latter case, Monty Python is not a sitcom, and most of the other titles listed here are sitcoms, so should only be on the subgenre page. -- Tarquin

I'm in favor of merging them because it might be difficult to keep them separate with non-duplicated content. It doesn't matter much to me though. --Mrwojo

It seems to me that British comedy could also apply to radio comedy, which could help add non-separate comedy. Atorpen 22:52 Feb 9, 2003 (UTC)

Good idea. Let's see.... comedy panel games, ISIHAC, Mornington Crescent, The Mary Whitehouse Experience and plenty of other tv shows that started on radio... -- Tarquin 23:01 Feb 9, 2003 (UTC) PS and HHGTTG of course

I should have read this first... Anyway, merging would be a good idea. 3 subgenres I can think of off the top of my head are,

  • Sketch type shows, eg, Fast Show, French & Saunders, Python
  • sitcoms
  • Game shows, eg, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, They Think Its all over, Have I got news for you
