Comedy > 15 GBP to 20 GBP Comedy > US Television

The last series of a truely remarkable TV show.

Advantages: Hilarious. Well Written, Consistently Good.
Disadvantages: Is the last season. New viewers may not get some of the re-occuring jokes.

...they hit the jackpot with arrested development. It is very well written, which in turn has had a negative effect on viewing figures, which in turn lead to it being cancelled. The reason for this is simply that american audiences could not understand its humour and would not clock on when reoccuring jokes appeared. This show is best enjoyed on dvd watched at your own pace. Unlike other shows Arrested Development has improved after each series and ...

Review of Arrested Development - Series 3 (Box Set) (DVD)

Could both shifts please report to O.R.

Advantages: A fantastic portrayal of the lives, laughs and troubles of M*A*S*H personnel
Disadvantages: I can't find any at all!!

M*A*S*H (Mobile Army Surgical hospital) was a television series that ran for eleven seasons between 1973 and 1983. The series was set in the Korean War and based around the oddball characters that served in the 4077th MASH. The series itself fits into the category of black comedy set in the Korean War. It is probably the best place here to mention that this series does not insinuate ever that war or the situations is causes is a funny thing or that ...
...simply highlights how in the toughest of situations it is often the humour of those that remain that prevails the longest. Sort of along the 'they can crush us but they'll never crush our spirit' lines. Therefore the series does not shy from making some statements about war even if they are made in a comedic way but is careful to place just the right amount of emphasis on sensitive issues without becoming bogged down with them. None of the episodes ...

Review of M.A.S.H. - Series 3 (Box Set) (DVD)

Last of the Golden Age

Advantages: Great stories , guest stars and a lot of special features
Disadvantages: Plastic head case

...much as I did. As the title suggests it all downhill from here. My only criticism is The Principal and the Pauper has a bit of a nonsensical plot but still manages to raise a few laughs and another clip show is a bit annoying however I do love a few of the musical numbers. The other episodes are all great. Personal favourites are Ralph's imaginary leprechaun in This Little Wiggy, The City of New York vs Homer Simpson and The Cartridge Family and ...

Review of The Simpsons - Series 9 - Complete (Limited Edition Head Packaging) (DVD)

funny somedy for all

Advantages: comedy, fun for everyone, good for family
Disadvantages: none i can think of

This show is one of the funniest things ever to come out of tv comedy. The stories are always comical and light so, in my opinion, are fun for the whole family. The five main characters are all different yet this creates a refreshing and exciting effect and the actors/actresses are all very talented and great performers which makes this show a great watch! I have all the series but still love to put on the first one to see how the Monica, Chandler, ...

Like you're there for me too

Advantages: Laugh a minute
Disadvantages: Very sarcastic humour, not for everyone

...aware I am a complete Friends addict. So continuing in the Friends theme I thought I best continue with the next few episodes in the first series. So here we go again… Please note, I am not including the character information in this review as it can be found in my previous review and I know that people who read my reviews don’t like repetition. Instead I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce a few of the less recognised characters ...
