Is TV Comedy Off The Hook?

As far as TV comedies go, Off The Hook is imaginative and simple. The story follows a group of friends sharing a flat at university and the various situations they get themselves into. For years TV comedy has been stale and very often teen audiences left unsatisfied by over the top humor and bad jokes. However, it is being saved by rising popularity of shows susch as Off The Hook, Peep Show and The Inbetweeners. So is this the best of the group? I am not saying that TV comedy is not funny, it is just contrived. The sense of humor is to be quick, quirky and simple not over the top garble that functions purely on elaborate humor and an element of sophistication!
TV COMEDY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SOPHISTICATED! JUST SIMPLE!
So what is it about off the hook that I like?
The show can in effect represent a group of several youthes. The title character, slightly nerdy but still socially able. The dark and sinister emo type flat mate who makes dispair and angst something ironic and hilarious.
So what is the future of TV comedy. Will we be overrun by American Comedy that although witty doesn't quite hold the dark in your face attitude that British comedy has.
Comedy has been a huge part of British culture. Growing up on carry on films, Allo' Allo and the ever so funny Fawlty Towers, you come to set standards for what comedy is.
For me it is as simple as a depressed uni student reflectiong the emo social group with the simple stereotype of saying
"What's the point of going to uni and learning more information? We're all going to be dead in a hundred years anyway."
With the quality of shows ever increasing the BBC, Channel 4 and any other station showing them are reinventing the wheel, create something new from the old and making sure that audiences as a whole don't change the channel because TV comedy has just become stale.
