Try as i might, i could never see what was so amusing about Cheers. I found it awful, yet all and sundry were hailing it as the funniest ever show on tv! Which only goes to prove that humour is subjective. One man's Morecambe and Wise is another man's Mike and Bernie.
As for 'This Country'; if the two clips are indicative of the comedic content on show, then it probably wouldn't be for me either.
