Jim,

Re your comment below:

Many dramas have comical parts. It's called "comedy relief." It doesn't make them comedies, per se. TLG wasn't primarily a comedy. It was a drama with some parts that the director intended to be funny.

CAT BALLOU wasn't a drama with some funny parts; it was a comedy.

Do you really not see any difference?
