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 ...

Review of Laurel And Hardy (Box Set) (DVD)

Tis' the season to be merry with the family

Advantages: Funny, original and well worth its money!
Disadvantages: Unless you have seen the other episodes you could be a bit lost.

This collection of Christmas episodes keeps up with the hilarious and originality of the main series. This dvd contains 4 Christmas episodes from 2002 to 2005. Each one gets better and better. I will say though, that you need to have watched the series to understand the events which are going on. Even if you have not, you are still guaranteed a laugh. Lets just say that Christmas in the Harper household is chaotic! Let me introduce the family. ...
...Nick, young brainiac son - Mikey, Daughter - Janie, Daft cousin - Abi, Friend of the family - Roger. I begin with the 2002 Chrsitmas episode. This is the episode which fills the gap in the main series as to when Janie got pregnant. As many of you will have seen the main series, between series 3 and 4 there is no explanation of this. In the Xmas episode, Susan tries her hardest to fins out who the father is, however not even to this day do we know..... ...

...a chance; it may make your family look normal. The actor Ray Romano based the character and in fact the whole show on his own life. Character Summary: RAYMOND BARONE Played by Ray Romano.

Review of Everybody Loves Raymond - Series 1 (DVD)

Amazingly funny :D

Advantages: Funny Funny
Disadvantages: May not be as funny if you watch it quickly in succession.

This was recommended to me by a friend. At first , I was not sure how it would be, but after watching it i am glad i did. A very funny routine indeed. It brings out certain stereotypes which are very true. He dosent really pick on any particular country/people , he picks on everyone equally. hehehe .The first thing that jumps people normally is how they discover the difference between a western name and how he is an indian person. This is the basis ...

Below is a review of the main characters and some of what happens in this series not giving too much away for those who have not seen it. Diana Trent (Stephanie Cole): is a retired photo-journalist who has found herself in a retirement home and is ...
...the condescending staff at Bayview and her frustration is soon channeled into attempts to get up the noses of the management of the retirement home especially Harvey Bains (Known as the 'Idiot Bains') She is often crusading for the sake of all the residents of Bayveiw the fact that this winds up Harvey is always her little bonus. Whether she is winding the mobile library woman up the wall or attacking the hapless gardener she is an OAP with attitude. ...
