They just don't seem able to do sit coms any longer. Dad's Army, Steptoe, Porridge, Fawlty Towers - repeats of those are far better than anything made now. Maybe they were of their time, can never be replicated, and we shouldn't try.
See John Cleese is doing a new sitcom, it's crap, he knows it is, but his ex wives have stitched him up so he needs the money... Fair enough I guess.
