The medium has just shifted, in terms of TV, like with most TV/film content. There are lots of comedy shows, just not your typical dumb sitcoms*. Those are for boomers and trailer parks.



This is part of it and, by extension, audiences have gotten more sophisticated (pushed by prior works) and demand more than Full House could deliver.

That said, there is still a large audience for garbage like Young Sheldon and the like.

Correct, led by shows like Seinfeld, Arrested Development, and networks like HBO.

And how many of them aren't on CBS?

No, they really haven't. The most watched shows on television right now are Tracker (a detective show), Young Sheldon (a sitcom), and NCIS (a detective show).

Ummmm......no. Every show is dumbed down and younger generations don't have a sense of humor. They take offense to everything.
