And I get what you mean about certain jokes could be deemed offensive nowadays, but how I see it personally is these people shouldn't watch a Comedy if they can't handle offensive content as Comedy is supposed to shock the audience so much with what the character has just said or done that it makes you burst out laughing. That's how I see it personally anyway.

And I agree with you that later on seasons of shows can run out of steam, going away from Comedy for a second, GOT had to have one of the worst seasons to a TV Show that I've ever seen in my life in season 8, which is shocking to say for me when the show in the early days was trying to take on BSG in quality, and in many people's eyes was winning the battle.

And I've not watched many Netflix Comedies, but I have noticed that they do make better products than the Networks in practically every other genre of TV so they probably would out do CBS and Fox on Comedy nowadays.

I agree with pretty much everything you said there Mock

Networks are always looking for ways to improve their ratings in which case they’ll just jump on the bandwagon on the next popular thing. Comedies have always had dramatic moments in them but I feel they are becoming more common since dramas seem to be pretty popular at the moment, so the creators of the comedy genre are using this idea a lot more to cater to a larger audience?

Plus there is possibly some pressure from network executives to do these things to boost ratings especially since ratings for shows struggle with competition like Netflix, Amazon etc.
