My Family is well past its sell-by date, for example. Goodness only knows how it has kept going for so long ... a house full of characters that are still utterly two-dimensional after so many years on-screen is unforgivable, even in a sitcom. And its writers have still not twigged that if you derive all your comedy from making your characters irritating and unsympathetic, you make your entire programme irritating and unengaging.
