The other key to sitcom success
There will be sitcoms that fail for whatever reason. On the Sitcom Geeks podcast, we enjoy talking about them, partly because failure is funny. But also examining failure is often more informative than the successful show where success seems inevitable. (It wasn't).
James Cary, Sitcom Geek, 27th April 2021Early days yet for A Prince Among Men, and there are lots of interesting character ingredients. But it really must wake up to the fact that so much happening in the crossover world of comedy and football is fresh and new - Fantasy League, Danny Baker, Nick Hornby, Darren Tackle in The Guardian - developments that leave a lot of the comic style here looking a bit dated. At present, Gary Prince could be a guest on A Question of Sport, but not They Think It's All Over.
