Ultimate? Not quite, but still brill...

Advantages: Contains 2 entire multiple disc series
Disadvantages: Not everyone favourites included, most of these repeated on satellite

...with the untimely death of Ronnie Barker. After introducing their comedic chemistry and archaic sketches from The Two Ronnies to a new generation, and his brief re-introduction to TV, Ronnie left us to reflect and watch umpteen repeats of his work that will never bore or cease to crease our faces. Right then, enough of dwelling, you want to know what this is like. Well......... its a DVD box set!! Seriously, 12 discs of Ronnie in various series ...
...name Norman Stanley Fletcher, arguably Ronnie Barker's most famous character. I won't dwell too much here just to say it was et in Slade prision following the batle between 'them and us' with plenty of laughs on the way. My personal favourite occurs in the first episode when they receive their medicals. Remember the flasks? This set presents you with all the episodes and the Christmas specials. These specials are 40 minutes long but there are only ...

The best things come in HUGE packages

Advantages: Hilarious episodes, great added features, massive content
Disadvantages: Based on US culture, have to be vaguely familar with US culture

...today, the complete boxset of Family Guy gives you nearly 100 episodes to laugh over for a price that is pretty cheap considering the amount of content it gives you, over 700 mins worth. Family Guy is a cartoon comedy about a family living in the fictional town of Quahog. The family includes Peter (dad), Lois (mum), Meg, Chris and Stewie (kids) Griffin and their intelligent pet dog Brian. Peter is a guy who spends most of his time down the pub ...
...to Luke Perry sueing the family before eventually dropping the lawsuit. This episode opitimises all that Family Guy is, with Peter messing things up unintentionally and getting the family in a very awkward situation, Meg's life being 'ruined' by Peter's actions; as she loves Luke Perry and the classic cut away jokes. The boxset which holds 15 discs and 5 full seasons of Family Guy also has some interesting extras. They have added an extra episode ...

Review of Family Guy - Series 1 To 5 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

perhaps one of the best comedies ever

Advantages: A great comedy that points fun at celebrities
Disadvantages: May offend a few people

A comedy show with lots of funny comedy sketches. Stars leigh francis who plays avid merrion a small foreign celebrity stalker. leigh also does a lot of impressions of modern celebrities, they are sometimes funny and sometimes offensive...well actually mostly offensive. Craig from the first big brother is locked in chains in avid's toilet and he keeps his dead mother in the wardrobe. He has a lot of large cut out life size cardboard celebrity models..which ...
...Davina (from big brother), Craig David, Catherine Zeta Jones, P.Diddy, Lorraine Kelly, Elton John, Dale Winton and many more! Also the bear is so funny to watch everytime, you've got to love the picture book on that, such a dirty bear. Overall all 3 of the series are brilliant and will make everyone laugh. In one of the series there is a serious insult to red haired people, but my brother is red haired and he laughed, but you may find it highly offensive. ...

Review of Bo Selecta - Series 1-3 (Box Set) (DVD)

Rip Roaring Fun

Advantages: Very Funny, Good production values
Disadvantages: Not enough on them made

...a two DVD set. Ripping Yarns- The Complete Series DVD features all of the nine half hour episodes. Tomkinson's Schooldays (original pilot) The Testing of Eric Olthwaite, Escape From Stalag Luft 112 B Murder at Moorstones Manor Across the Andes by Frog The Curse of the Claw Whinfrey's Last Case Golden Gordon Roger of the Raj Each episode cleverly lampoons one of the typical scenarios of the 'Boy Own' genre. For instance Tomkinson's school ...
...half hour comedy such as Ripping Yarns doesn't seems to have faired as well as some other lesser examples from the period and certainly repeats don't get aired often enough. It is excellent news that the complete series is now available on DVD and that maybe a new audience will get to discover this brilliant comedy. My favourite episodes are darkly atmospheric 'Curse of the Claw' and the brilliant 'Golden Gordon'. Highly recommended and with great ...
