Whither Australian Comedy?

The Sydney Morning Herald boasts a great article that argues that in the hype over Australian drama, the networks have forgotten that they are good at comedy.

I agree, particularly after the last pair of episodes of Canal Road were damn near satire.

Andrew Denton would probably make a killing producing a parody of a typical drama series.

Gina & Jane should've been more assertive in exercising creative control.

Plus it's without a Sharon.
