but when magic happens it really shines. There are multiple examples of timeless uk sitcoms, and loads that are pretty decent.
The same is true of US tv though. One difference is the odd way that UK sitcoms usually involve one or two writers and seem to drop in quality markedly after the first couple of series. While the US seems to use a huge writers room and keep churning out a steady quality of episodes over multiple series
That doesn't mean that classic US shows like Taxi or mash didn't become absolute shit by the end of their runs
