Comedy over the past decades
Comedy shows are really popular among today generation. People have been watching comedy shows since the beginning of television. There are a few comedy shows that have become legends along with the actors who starred in them. 鈥淭he Mary Tyler Moore Show鈥? was popular in the 1970鈥檚, 鈥淐heers鈥? in 1980鈥檚, and 鈥淪einfeld鈥? in the late 1990鈥檃nd into the new century. The main characters from 鈥淐heers鈥?were Sam Malone (Ted Damson), Norm Peterson (George Wendt), Carla Tortelli (Rhea Perlman), Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson), and Diane Chambers (Shelly Long). The characters from 鈥淭he Mary Tyler Moore Show鈥? were Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore), Ted Knight (Ted Baxter), Rhoda Morgenstern (Valerie Harper), Lou Grant (Ed Asner), and, Murray Slaughter (Gavin McLeod). The 鈥淪einfeld鈥?characters are Jerry Seinfeld (Jerry Seinfeld), George Costanza (Jason Alexander), Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards). All these shows express some kind of humor. Although broadcast in different time periods, these shows all express similarities.
Sarcasm is an important characteristic in comedy. It is primarily used in humorous manner to insult another person. This has held true no matter what era the comedy show originally aired. For example, Murray is the mocking character in 鈥淭he Mary Tyler Moore Show.鈥?His main work in the news station seems to be to make fun of people in cynical way. When a female of Spanish descent is hired on the show Ted, another regular character, remarks to her that he is fluent in Spanish. Murray overhears the remark and asks, 鈥淗ow could you be fluent in Spanish? You鈥檙e not fluent in English!鈥? Norm is a regular sardonic character from the show 鈥淐heers鈥? who made fun of a girl named Gretchen that was brought by Diana as a date for Sam the bartender. At the bar when she caustically asks Norm (who is looking at her), 鈥淲hat are you looking at you endomorph?鈥?Norm replies very politely, 鈥淣othing sir.鈥?Jerry, the main character in 鈥淪einfeld鈥?displays his wit in a conversation with a clerk at a car rental agency. After a long drawn out conversation the woman states with heavy emphasis that not everyone can take a reservation implying that she has some special capabilities. Jerry one ups her when he replies, 鈥淎nybody can take reservations, and you just don鈥檛 know how to hold a reservation!鈥?br /> Dumb characters that are sometimes actually quite clever are another characteristic of comedy. They do or say stupid things to get attention. Carla, who is waitress on the show 鈥淐heers鈥? is one example of the dumb yet vulnerable character. This is shown in an exchange with Norm when he asks he how are her kids are doing? She replies, 鈥淭wo of them are ugly, ones is obnoxious and ones just stupid. He is my favorite.鈥?Then there is just plain dumb. In the 鈥淢ary Tyler Moore Show鈥? Mary and Rhoda are talking to Steve鈥檚 roommate. After learning that Mary works at a news station, the roommate asks, 鈥淥h! You work in news station; do you watch a lot of TV?鈥?Today many television shows rely heavily on sex for comedic content. On 鈥淪einfeld鈥? for instance, the dumb character is sitting in the restaurant with his friends. He sees a guy and describes him as a hot guy. He expresses this by saying, 鈥淭here is a guy in my sexual fantasy!鈥?
Mistaken identity is always good for a laugh. Coach, a bartender on 鈥淐heers鈥?was used in a episode in this manner. One day he overhears a woman at the bar to tell Carla, waiters at Cheers that Brandee, with two 鈥渆鈥檚鈥?is there. Coach looks at a bottle of brandy and states, 鈥淗uh, they鈥檝e been spelling it wrong all these years.鈥?Comparisons can be made funny as in 鈥淪einfeld鈥?when Jerry told George to approach a beautiful woman at parking lot. He tells George, 鈥淪he is like an expensive car with one of those motion sensor force field alarms. Any sudden movement in area could set her off. Same kind of characteristics takes place in the Mary Tyler Moore show too when Lou met his brother in law. During conversation with his brother- in 鈥搇aw bill described Lou to his girlfriend by saying鈥?鈥渉e is my wonderful guy鈥?
These shows have many similarities in characters that are in the shows. Time has not caused any affect on all these shows. They show same kind of humor including sarcasm, dumbness and identity. Comedy is still the same and only difference is that the modern shows are more superior now.

These shows have many character similarities. They show same kind of humor including sarcasm, dumbness and identity. Comedy has remained the same since the beginning of television until now. The jokes might change in content, but the characteristics remain the same because people remain the same. Only our environment has changed. As the unbroken broadcasting of 鈥淚 Love Lucy鈥?worldwide has shown, time does not change the fact that we can all understand and laugh at comedy because we are actually laughing at ourselves.

'This has held true no matter what era the comedy show originally aired' sounds a little weird. Other than that, the grammar's fine.
Hi,

this is quite a long 'question'...but you ask if there are any errors in the grammar?

Overall there seem to be no obvious errors in grammar, though the punctuation could be improved.

If this is a piece intended for course work or external appraisal I'm not prepared to go through it in such great detail (that's what I get paid for!)

Your grammar is not obviously lacking, which was the jist of your question.

Good luck with the research and the piece,

There are many errors.
1st long paragraph, line 8 ...make fun of people in cynical way.... Add an "a" between in and cynical.

...then there is just plain dumb. In the "Mary Tyler Moore Show," Mary & Rhoda are talking to Steve's roomate.... In the first paragraph you introduced the shows and characters. Who is Steve? Who is Rhoda? Don't talk about a character without introducing him/her. Change to something like "Mary and her neighbor/friend Rhoda are talking to a roomate of a minor character named Steve.

..when Jerry told {past tense} George... He tells {present tense} George, She is like an expensive car with one of those motion sensor force fields. Any sudden movement in area could set her off... Add the word "the" or "her" between the words "in" and "area."
...when Lou met {past tense. First part of paragragh is in present tense, change to meets} brother in law (no dashes). During conversation {add the word "a" between during and conversation} with his brother- in -law {dashes and spaces????} bill described Lou....... What is brother in law bill, sounds like a law against brothers in law. I assume bill is the brother in law's name, Should be Capital. Bad placement of the name. Change to read ...when Lou meets his brother-in-law, Bill. During one scene, Bill, his girlfriend, and Lou are having a conversation. Bill describes Lou to his girlfirend by saying.....
Mistaken idenity section....
One day he overhears a woman at the bar tell Carla, waiters at Cheers that Brandee, with.... change to ..Carla, a waiter at Cheers.....
These shows have many character similarities. They show {add the word "the"} same kind of humor...

After the first long paragraph ends, you repeat half of it in the final 4 paragraphs (which are seperated by a space)! Delete the repeated sections of the long paragraph. Break it up. Check tenses. A single paragraph should only contain a single tense.

many, many errors.
no. this was good Reading also
Why are you asking repeatedly?
