I suggest you know of what you speak before chastising someone. It's a play on words. I don't suggest you watch the show, as the humor would go FAR over your head. Now go back to your trips back and forth across the border as a mule from Zacatecas. Apollo astronauts couldn't have passed through Van Allen's Belt. Van Allen wore suspenders. |

I think he's a Romney supporter who is following all my posts, waiting to pounce on what he perceives to be the slightest misstep ever since he read my anti-Romney posts. Imagine giving up such power to someone, as to stalk them. I'm flattered. "I DO DECLARE, Mr. Beauregard!" -- said in Scarlett O'Hara voice.

Blackadder. Red Dwarf. Rab C. Nesbitt. Hahahahah I loved Blackadder, too, yes. Reminded me of our President Bush's Administration where Bush was the Prince, and Cheney was Blackadder LOL I wish I was familiar with the other shows you listed. I'll have to give them a look.

ToSeek User ID: 24083101 United States 11/06/2012 01:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Always thought of it more as a farce than a sitcom, but it's a classic, regardless. Basil: He's drunk! Sybil: Drunk? Basil: Drunk! Soused! Potted! Inebriated! Got it?! Sybil: I don't believe it! Basil: Neither do I. Perhaps it's a dream. [pounds his head on the desk several times, sits up, looks around.] Nope, it's not a dream. We're stuck with it. Mrs. Richards: When I pay for a room with a view, I expect something more interesting than that. Basil: That is Torquay madam. Mrs. Richards: Well it's not good enough. Basil: Well, may I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...? Mrs. Richards: Don't be silly. I expect to be able to see the sea. Basil: You can see the sea. It's over there between the land and the sky. [The rat's head pokes out of the biscuit tray] Basil: [To Mr. Carnegie] W-W-Would you care for a rat, or...? [Awkward pause] Basil: Just the biscuits then, please, Polly. |

Too many were good! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27018718 LOL! YES! The Germans. Oh man, that was hilarious! Yeah, its hard to pick a favorite. They were all fantastic.

True, you're right...it's not really a "sitcom". It was the first word that came to mind as I wrote the title for this thread. Farce, yes. Good choice of words.

Too many were good! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27018718 I remember the episode with the psychiatrist couple guests and the episode with the blond australian guest being particularly hilarious Oh yes, yes...And that CHEST on the Australian! It was a tight, GREEN top. Oh MY! Remember when Basil reached around from the closet to try to adjust the thermostat and he, instead, was twiddling the huge-breasted Australian girl's nipple? And Sybil was standing right there hahahahahahahahah I read somewhere that Cleese lost something like 30 pounds throughout the season as they taped that show, because he was running around so much, and up and down those stairs.
