Comedy > 20 GBP to 30 GBP Comedy > US Television

I've made a huge mistake!!

Advantages: Absolutely brilliant story, characters and development.
Disadvantages: None

Arrested Development is a highly rated and yet cancelled American comedy, it was seen on BBC2 at ridiculous o'clock many nights but never really got the coverage it deserved here. It is being talked about as a film in 2010 as many of the stars are now film actors (Jason Bateman, Michael Cera) and people miss it. I have included a main character synopsis from my Series 1 review as I think that was only read by 2 people (Go read it if you fancy finding ...

Michael goes to collect his father, accompanied by George Michael and his girlfriend Ann as well as Maebe and Lindsay, Ann gets left behind in the inevitable chaos.

Review of Arrested Development - Series 2 (DVD)

Starts with proposal and ends with the wedding…

Advantages: Easy watching and funny
Disadvantages: Lack of Extras

This box set has 6 discs each containing four episodes. This is not like some of the other series where there are four episodes on one side and four on the other. The discs in this series 7 box set show the original TV broadcast episode on Side A and Side B shows the same episode but with 'never before seen footage'. There are not really any big differences but I did manage to spot the extra footage when watching these. I am not really sure why they ...
...this box set will probably only ever watch the extended versions. Series 7 starts from when Monica and Chandler have just got engaged and Monica accuses Rachel of stealing her thunder and she catches her kissing Ross. After this episode things move on to just general funny storylines. These are the ones with stories such as Phoebe trying to remember her grandma's secret cookie recipe, only for it to be one from the back of a nestle packet. Also ...

Review of Friends - Series 7 (Box Set) (DVD)

The one about the ninth series

Advantages: Friends and more friends
Disadvantages: None

...follows the lives of six friends who are in there early 30's. This is the ninth series of Friends. The end of series eight saw the birth of Ross and Rachel's baby. Ross is already a parent but will Rachel to able to cope with Motherhood? The Box Set = There are six disks in this box set with 4 episodes on each (the last episode on the sixth disk sees another double length episode). Now that we have entered the ninth series each disk now ...
...am a huge fan of Friends even now I can still sit down and watch an episode or two on E4 and Channel 4. If anyone is not aware how much of a fan I am then please find my other reviews on the box sets. The ninth series was a real progression for finding an ending to the whole series; there is such a build up for the final series to discover how everything will pan out. I can remember the suspense this series left while waiting for final series to ...

Review of Friends - Series 9 (Box Set) (DVD)

Frasier - Complete Season 2

Advantages: Better than the first season
Disadvantages: The episodes fly by (all 24 of them!)

...The show centres around Dr. Frasier Crane, a Seattle based radio psychiatrist. He lives in a beautiful apartment along with his father, Martin and his physical therapist Daphne Moon. Frasier's brother Dr. Niles Crane, also a psychiatrist, would be as well staying with Frasier, seeing as he seems to spend more time at his apartment than his own! The only two other main characters are Frasier's producer, Roz Doyle, and Eddie, his father's dog! This ...
...gets another dog pregnant, leaving Frasier with only one option - to get him neutered. The only problem is that Eddie does a runner before the operation can take place, forcing Frasier and Niles to hunt around Seattle for him. The Matchmaker Frasier tries his hand at match-making by setting Daphne up with the new station owner, Tom, unaware that he's actually gay. Tom accepts the offer, under the impression he'll be dating Frasier rather than Daphne. ...

Review of Frasier - Series 2 (Box Set) (DVD)

Kelsey Grammer does it again......or does he?

Advantages: Superbly Funny, Good Value for Money
Disadvantages: Probably not as funny as Season 2

There is no denying Frasier is a superb comedy. It is a spin off of the hugely popular TV series 'Cheers' in which Frasier was a character. Season 3 sees 'Frasier' move in a different direction to the previous two seasons. I would argue this is probably the worse of the 3 seasons (upto season 3) but is still a brilliant boxset, and for £15 you can't go wrong. As with previous series, characters from 'Cheers' have come into the show. Of course there ...
...Frasier at the altar. As I had not previously seen Cheers, the references to the show in Frasier wasn't welcome, but probably will be by avid 'Cheers' followers. This season involves the co-starring characters alot more, especially Niles as he struggles to keep his marraige together (which has seemingly been on the rocks since the start of 'Frasier'). This provides for some very funny moments but towards the end of the season they become more infrequent. ...
