Compare two sitcoms

How-do-you-do!

Last Saturday morning I was at Fiac, where I take English lessons, and my teacher (an American one and very funny) told us to watch two humour sitcoms. That’s 70’s show and Royal family. Where was the point? The point was that one is American and the other one is British. As you must know, they are very different. Of course, the next step was to make a composition comparing those sitcoms. The text below is the composition which I’m gonna give in to my teacher tomorrow. He said that he expects a very good one because of PCE’s very hard and doesn’t forgive… I hope it will be kind of right!

Send and e-mail to one of your friends, asking him if he agree or not with your opinion.

A British sitcom is not the same as an American one. Everybody is able to notice it only watching a few minutes of each one. I’ve just done it! I would like to share with you my point of view, because even though it’s in the same language (English), humour is not. Therefore, I reckon it’s an amazing point to discuss. Nevertheless, I’m Spanish and I might be wrong (I’m not used to watch British/American sitcoms), so this is how it works: I’ll jot some ideas down , tell me whether you agree or not and if I’m right or not!

Plagiarism? Simpsons VS Family Guy

Filed under: Humour, Videos — admin @ 12:28 pm

Hello again!

Who doesn’t know who’s either Peter Griffin or Homer Simpson? Nowadays, they are both icons of humour. They are characters of American cartoons and very well-known around the world.

I used to spend my time watching The Simpsons at midday. I have bored them after watching it over and over but instead of don’t mind if they are on air, and even though I know every conversation, every gag, I go ahead watching it when I’ve got time, often with my sister. They are like drugs.

Family Guy’s been different: I hadn’t got ‘La sexta’ (I need it if I wanna watch FG) until a few months ago and I used to watch FG in youtube, usually with my friends before going out (we are used to meet at my home when we go out because of I use to be alone).
