So did I, but while I'm sure a comedian-in-training could learn something from it, it's far from optimal.
Actually, most possible things people do are obviously far from optimal. Just look at how much time students spend zoning out in class, "learning". It's trivial to come up with a better way to use that time. Thinking about this scares me, because I could probably be doing something better most of the time, if I had a better idea of how to win at life.
Definitely. And I'm sure that you'd learn a lot more about television than about how to do stand-up comedy by studying a television series that isn't itself about stand-up.
