network executives say the still fragile economy and a
fragmented, multitasking audience make comedies
less demanding and more likely to break through
especially among the younger viewers
those are the kids that spend all their money on crap
and they're the demographic that advertisers seek
'it's uplifting kind of comfort food for people right now'
says nbc entertainment president jennifer salke
talking about the sit-com and who has ordered
14 comedy pilots for next season
- giving all her old comedy buddies jobs
starting this week, each network will have its own
two-hour weeknight comedy block,
this all started with nbc, when they were big and
seinfeld and cheers and others ruled tv
even the cw, which abandoned comedies in 2009
is ready to push funny again to it's viewers, the 3 of 'em
meanwhile over on cable - mtv and fx are expanding
their comedy lineups, and the usa network is preparing
its first foray into half-hour series as a prelude to airing
modern family reruns next year... thank you sofia!

marcia gay harden, kevin nealon and sarah silverman
but the big news is that roseanne barr and john goodman
are teaming up again in a new show about a trailer park
called upwardly mobile - cute, hope it's a big trailer...
