What was the last show do you Slapstick/Physical Comedy?

[Sitcomwriter]

Jump The Shark says it's Party Girl which is why it failed (Most people don't want "new" shows about Laverne and Shirley-type women with lots of slapstick comedy)

What do YOU think?

I think "Three's Company" was the last show to incorporate some slapstick in the show. Ritter was always falling about the place.

I agree................. 3' s Company........

I think that the last successful sitcom that used a lot of slapstick comedy was Perfect Strangers (1986-1993).

[Will and Grace Fanatic]

This will probably sound stupid but what does slapstick mean?

To my dismay, the only current show I've seen with slapstick would be Frasier, and that was only on an episode or two. (tackle that guy! :)) Bring back slapstick and kill the dirty sex jokes!

Oh well, there's always TV Land and the Hallmark Channel...

I beleive Will and Grace use alot of physical comedy although not a whole lot this season but during the second season with the episode entitled "Das Boob" when to prove that her chest looked bigger in the newspaper Will and Jack touched her chest and eachother to prove it. The episode is hard to explain you have to see that episode to understand what I'm talking about but I think that is the only current sitcom that uses a whole lot of physical comedy.

Debra Messing has incorporated a lot of physical comedy in "Will And Grace." Of course, Michael Richards was all about slapstick with Kramer, and occasionally "The Drew Carey Show" gets physical.

By the way Wiill And Grace Fanatic, Slapstick, according to my Time Desk Reference Dictionary is defined as "comedy stressing farce and horseplay." Three Stooges kind of stuff...

id say threes company was the last TRUE competely slapstick show, but the last current show to do some was probably friends... there was a few episodes. One was when Ross and Monica did a dance rountie and then Ross went to jump in Monicas arms and Monica pulled away. Or another one where Monica was wrestling with Rachel to put eye drops in rachels eyes. Or when Ross and Rachel were drunk in vegas they fell out. one Recent episode was an ep where Ross had to run to his class everyday to make it on time and he threw water in his face and fainted. See, it does have SOME slapstick/physical, but not always.
