Default Has the Comedy genre gone too serious?

Yes this is a moaning thread so if you don't want to read it then you can proudly ignore the rant that is coming lol.

Anyway has anyone else noticed how unfunny a lot of the Comedy output has been lately? I mean with season 16 of Family Guy focusing on Brian's own personal dramas, the last 3 seasons of The Goldbergs just missing the mark and repeating the same life lessons over and over and over again, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine getting increasingly preachy and serious in season 6, on top of the fact that I hear a lot of drama has happened during the last few seasons of TBBT, and Amy and Jonah being like an episode of EastEnders on Superstore. It just makes me wonder has the Comedy genre over the last couple of years lost their way and have failed to understand that they're supposed to be making people laugh? I'm not complaining about the odd scene being serious btw as some of my all-time favourite Comedies such as early seasons Family Guy, Parks & Recreation, and Arrested Development all had serious moments in their programmes, but they still understood (or Family Guy used to understand) that primarily you're supposed to make people laugh as you're a Sitcom, not a Dramedy or a Comedy-Drama, or an out and out Drama.

Am I taking the genre too literal? And if there is any funny Comedies out there I'd love to know.
