Documentary Series, Comedy

If you enjoy American comedy and a cultural history lesson, this series will not disappoint you. It would be impossible to include every comedian in such a program, but the significant and groundbreaking are all here. My biggest issue was the amount of overlap between episodes -some comedians fit in multiple places- and so you really have to watch the entire series. I wish someone would make something like this about British comedy!
