Sitcoms

Most people say that they love to laugh, and that having a good sense of humour is essential - so I'm puzzled that a high proportion of people don't watch sitcoms. I never go a day without watching them. If I try to start a conversation about the latest episode / series of Catastrophe or Drifters, the large majority of people haven't even heard of them and look at me as though I'm an alien who's just landed from Mars.

It's worth noting that watching sitcoms doesn't automatically mean you have a good sense of humour, and equally not watching them doesn't mean you don't. It's just entertainment at the end of the day, and what people enjoy will always vary.
When I see that a very funny sitcom that's broadcast on a channel which the vast majority of people in the country have, I find it strange when I find out that only about a million people watch it - in comparison to several million watching Z-listers eat animal genitalia on I'm a Celebrity.
I'm puzzled why professional critics view the large majority of comedy with contempt - they like some satire and comedy-drama, but they hate full-on comedy.
I suffer frequently being insulted and ridiculed by people for not watching what they watch, in particular sport (which I have no interest in) and Game of Thrones (which I saw the first episode of and hated).
