No Laughing Matter

Naomi Pfefferman February 14, 2002

Don\’t get Howard Rosenberg started on the snobs who dismiss sitcoms as trash.\n\nThe Pulitzer Prize-winning Los Angeles Times TV critic thinks they\’re an American art form, which is why he\’s hosting \”The Serious Side of Laughter,\” a panel discussion about television comedy Feb. 17 at the University of Judaism. The panelists — responsible for some of the biggest yuks on the tube — include Sam Simon of the groundbreaking animated series \”The Simpsons,\” Judd Apatow of the quirky college romp \”Undeclared,\” Phil Rosenthal of \”Everybody Loves Raymond\” and Larry Wilmore of \”The Bernie Mac Show.\”
