Dangit ReRushed, I was hoping you would post "Everybody Loves Raymond" or some 062802puke_prv.gif like that. Instead you post Fawlty Towers.

So what is it with the last 3 seasons of Seinfeld that people do not like?

I didn't like the fact that every episode had some absurd gimmick. It basically became the type of show it claimed it wasn't. And I just didn't find the later seasons funny. I think people loved the show so much they felt obligated to "love" the show, even when it wasn't funny anymore.

I'm sure the producers knew that as well. It was inevitably going to run out of steam. Sure they ran a couple of seasons two long but all in all still the best comedy the US has ever come up with. I heart.gif NY.

 

Fawlty Towers just seems terribly dated and silly to me. Loved it when I was a kid but don't get the fuss now confused13.gif

You know what? You're gonna live with this. You're gonna go on and create many more good memories. You gonna go forward and walk upright like a man and you're gonna feel good very, very, very soon. You're gonna live your life and it'll feel right. You're gonna be OK...

BTW, I am currently working through Rising Damp (up to series 5). It has some moments of utter genius. I'm a huge fan of Porridge as well. But well, they're not in my Top 5 are they popcorn.gif

Well at the end of the day comedy is pretty simple, if it makes you laugh then it's good. So you rate what makes you laugh and it doesn't matter what it is, or where it comes from, or who else likes it. And so it's all good.
