the biggest problem is that it has to come from action/plot rather than dialogue
it's easy to write funny dialogue. plotting something that has A, B and C structures in just 24 mins is HARD. also i think the traditional models are a bit outdated now; there's a lot more of these comedy/drama hybrids around, and love them or hate them, they are v successful. but if you were pitching one, you'd really struggle, as it doesn't fit into anyone's niche.
