Actually, the "meta-comments" in this net are what prompted me to watch
the show in the first place, and I think it's a lot of fun.  

But if you really want meta-comments, try watching old Bob Hope movies!
One of his films (can't remember the title) features a depressing ending
where Bob meets a sad fate and has his head chopped off.  All of a sudden,
however, Bob announces that the depressing finale was the movie studio's
idea and his own was much better; a happy ending follows.  His "Road"
movies are also packed with meta-comments.
