Likewise here, the first time i saw it i didn't think it was that great, same with the holy grail, when i was younger i didn't like it but now i do.

But unlike you i luv sketch comedy, i like how it can create something quick and silly that just works, it's a quick effective way of telling a story in a few minutes..

not that there is much of a story in most of them, most of them focus on the funny mannerism of the characters not a rational story plot.

Tell you one thing i hate in some sketch shows,
i hate it when they milk the sh*t out of a popular character, Mad tv and SNL does this shamelessly, if a segment or character becomes popular they just rinse and repeat the whole thing.

I prefer more experimental shows like Tim & Eric or Mr show.
