What happened to comedy on the telly?

For some reason I was thinking about comedy on the telly and I realised modern comedy is quite frankly pish. Back in the day you had people like Harry Enfield bringing joy to the grey life's of Brits. I can't think of another comedian that brought so many catch phrases to the English language. You could go into work and say "loadsamoney" or "I appear to be considerable richer than you" and people would have a laugh. 

 

Other good comedies were "The Peep Show", "Fresh Meat", "The Inbetweeners", "Little Britain" and  "The Fast Show".

 

What modern comedies do we have? A remake of Open All Hours? Anyone go into work and use phrases from that show?

 

This has to be the first time in my adult life that there's not a funny TV comedy that I look forward to watching.

I totally agree the comedy is like today's music crap, only fools n horses, George & Mildred ,the late great Ronnie barker in both porridge and the first open all hours and of course rising damp that they could not make today as it would not be politically correct for rigsby to take the piss out of Philips culture, some time back in the 80s when Chanel 4 first started I used to rush home from the local to watch the Paul hogan show, any one else do that.
