Plus Howard is a terrible sleazebag and no woman would ever go within a mile of him, let alone someone like Bernadette.
I agree, it’s fantastic. I suspect the majority of folks won’t agree, though
I’ll give you everything Series VIII on, but not before that. Classic comedy.
there’s literally a thing about friends across the road from my house?
so this. he negged bernadette into going out with him by saying she wasn’t as hot as the girl he imagined he’d end up with. there’s one episode where over a series of actual jack-off sessions his dream girls talk him into asking her out. how is this an okay thing in a 21st century sitcom.
*series VII
Nah, I’ll stand up for Series VII. It’s a definite drop in quality, but still funny in places. VIII onwards is beyond redemption.
I’ll also stand up for Series I, which although it gets a lot of flak, I find hugely funny and woefully underrated. I -love- Cat when he’s acting like an actual cat. “That’s mine, this is mine, all of this is mine…”
I once read an interview with Simon Pegg in which he said that Spaced was very much a response to Game On and how he simply didn’t feel like it spoke to anyone of his age. I felt a bit rubbish reading it because I quite liked Game On when it aired (and it’s theme).
All I remember about Game On is Ben Chaplin leaving the show to go to Hollywood and then he was in The Thin Red Line and some romcom with Uma Thurman.
i concur. series 2-6 has some of the most inventive sci-fi writing, that is also funny. very few shows have that
So wrong.
Saw 5 minutes of not going out earlier cause my hands were to oily to change the remote while I was working on my bike. Utter, utter tripe
Just gonna use this thread to list a few comedies I remember from the past. Not saying they were bad or anything.
The high life. The funky squad. Sunnyside farm. Pete versus life. NY-LON
Married With Children is probably #problematic now (and even was back then), but even then there’s no way it’s anywhere near TBBT, etc.'s awfulness.
big bang theory is on so much that it’s impossible to have not seen some it
that video upthread of it with no laughter track is incredible - there’s multiple points where there’s a gap implying laughter but i was absolutely sure that the preceeding line wasn’t actually a joke
The friend I mentioned above who owns Game On and The Thin Blue Line on DVD also owns two copies of The High Life on DVD.
The fast show says otherwise
And that’s just the opening credits, so…
I can remember a few too many of those lyrics. Only other thing I can remember is they had a ‘Eurovision Song Contest’ episode - presumably because it worked alright for Father Ted.
Just had a look and it turns out ‘the guy who isn’t Alan Cumming’ was in the last series of Catastrophe? May have to watch that again.
