I don't remember him saying that action shows always went somewhere intelligent, don't put words in people's mouths (or anything else for that matter 
)
As far as I can tell he was using Tenchi as an example, which I agree with and it is something that can be applied to most of the genre. Comedy anime are good, but they tend to have no purpose for the characters, they lack depth or a reason most of the time for doing anything and they mostly follow the same formulas over and over again, and with no particular progressive story that each episode is almost totally seperated from the others, meaning that you could watch one without the others and it would not matter. There is no direction to it, it doesn't build up to anything of any significance and the comedy, although funny its not exactly ultra clever or in any way intelligent.
Things that are obvious seem to elude morons
