When good comedians go bad Remember when Steve Martin, Albert Brooks and Woody Allen were funny? What on earth happened to our favorite funnymen?

    I mean part of the genius of the Office (the original BBC one) was that it lasted only two 8-episode seasons. So it didn't have time to become terrible. The Simpsons is my pick for funniest show ever, and seasons 2-8 are just transcendent. But after that you have ten years, literally ten years, of dreck. You just can't keep pumping them out. I'm not very fond of Arrested Development but maybe in the long run getting cancelled was the best thing for the show.
