Kinda-sorta.....maybe, ok.

The tv show "Cheers" was in a bar.
Yet millions of tee-totalers laughed their arses off watching that show.
Comedy is one of the best venues of television entertainment.
And drama, and action, and romantic comedy.....which brings us back to - you guessed it! COMEDY ;-)

 It doesn't get worse than romantic comedies. To many of those atrocities.

I agree with ambercol. The point of comedy is to make people laugh, nothing else.

Nonsense. "Major League", "Airplane:, and "Animal House" hardly are showing social responsibility. Sometimes it's just about belly-laughing.
