I never took to "The Office" when I first saw it on TV and just saw bits and pieces. Only when I sat down and got into it, I got absolutely hooked. I didn't think I would and in the end it's because one of my favourite comedy series. You get used to the characters and enjoying them immensely.
"Best In Show" is for me a brilliant p*ss take! BUT, it does depend on whether you find mocumentaries funny or not. IT's the similar type that the office uses....
"Comic Book presents..", now I am not sure what all that would contain. It sounds like it might be the "famous five" take off by these guys. Which was also good. But I do not know if that includes the "Bad News" ones. I coudln't tell. I did see "Bad news" advertised beneath it with other DVDS, so it is there. I just dont' know if it's included in the box collection.
I personally think some of these comedies are almost essential additions, because there is so much GARBAGE on TV (at least here in NZ there is). It is absolutely appaulling and for someone like me who is not well and does not hit the clubs or go out much, I'd probably go mad if it were not for people who make these movies/series.
By the way, have you seen "Life Of Brian"? . The whole movie was funny from start to finish for me. Though some of it may have been a bit on the nose for us Christians, (crucifixion scene etc), considering the reality of what we believe. But again crucifixion happened in those days to any criminal and of course it was played down for comedy. Black comedy I guess you could call it. This I think is another essential classic (IMHO).
Sunshine, I have a very high recommendation for you. There was a series I used to watch years ago and we still have the VHS recordings of it, but they are ageing badly, but we still try and watch them. It was called "You rang M'Lord" (British). This was, for me, absolutely BRILLIANT. If you have not seen this? I'm sorry to bombard you, but this is another ESSENTIAL to any collection. I'm sure you must have heard of it or seen it.....if you have seen it, I don't know what you think of it. But I adored it, you may not. Everybody is different.
No more bombardments for now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Sorry you're still bored! I hope some of these purchases will be helpful....lol I know you'll let me know if any of them are absolutely rubbish!
