Laurel & Hardy, Laughs above the rest.

Advantages: Funny, clean humour that stands the test of time.
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

...it where it belongs. Laurel & Hardy despite their lack of the above mentioned "humour" have managed to do something that only modern comedians can dream about. They kept the world laughing consistently for years and have continued to do so 60 years after their deaths. I don't know any modern "great" that I'd remember and still be talking about in a year if he disappeared today. There is one exception and I just did a review on that yesterday, but ...
...a nice box with the Laurel & Hardy logo and a pic of the happy two on the top & sides. Opening the box you are presented with a row of real DVD disc boxes, not the usual cardboard or pocket type rubbish. Each disc spine has the part of a picture that makes up the duo's bowler hats when stacked together. The discs are numbered 1-21 with the last one having a title "A special tribute to the boys" along with other comedy shorts. Please note that the ...

Not as Good as the First 9

Advantages: Better than series 11
Disadvantages: Plastic head is a bit flimsy

This Series is probably the turning point in The Simpsons popularity. Previous series are some of the greatest television ever made and this series does have some great episodes but there are definately a few weak ones. Lard of the Dance, Mom and Pop Art and Homer Simpson in: "Kidney Trouble" are full of the problems that have plagued the newer series, i.e Homer having some stupid random job and too many guest stars for no particular reason. However ...

Golden Years Of British Comedy

Advantages: Wide audience appeal
Disadvantages: None that I can see

Absolutely brilliant there are so many classic comedians such as Norman Wisdom and Tommy Cooper included in this DVD that you couldn't help but have a favourite. I laughed so hard that my sides hurt. Let face it everyone enjoys a good laugh and this DVD certainly doesn't disappoint. Those of you familiar with the many classic comedians appearing on this DVD can relive the past, where as those who are unfamiliar with these comedians can experience ...
...often refer to. This is definitely one for the festive season that young and old alike can enjoy. If any of your relations are difficult to buy for then this would have to be your first choice, they'll thank you for the experience and you can be sure they won't forget who bought laughter back into their lives. ...

Review of Golden Years Of British Comedy - 40s/50s/60s (Box Set) (DVD)

Dinnerladies, It's What's That Word, Not Elephant, Excellent

Advantages: Funny, charming, lovely, easy to watch, great characters, great acting
Disadvantages: No bonus features (almost lost it a star!)

...time we sat down together, Dinnerladies appeared before me. And as I did with Absolutely Fabulous I decided it would make a good thing to try and review and in case you haven't realised yet, this is me doing so. My review of Dinnerladies, the complete collection. Where's This Canteen? - About The Show In a fictional factory, in the less fictional Manchester, lies a small canteen to serve the workers of HWD Components with a range of tasty food. ...
...contains all 16 episodes of Dinnerladies which have been made. One thing to note is that the episode 'Christmas' from series 2 is listed as being on the second disc of the second series, however it is in fact on the first disc. So it's not missing, it's just moved next door! Confused me for a bit to say the least. Unfortunately this DVD set doesn't contain any additional features! No documentarys, deleted scenes, outtakes or anything! This is a little ...
