Rating: - LOVE IT!!!
You don't have to "get" British humor to love Only Fools. It's a laugh riot. My husband told me it was his favorite show in the world, so I ordered it for him, and haven't stopped laughing since. Dell Boy makes me cringe, but it's fun to watch.
Rating: - Like Seinfeld, this comedy needed time to get the formula right.
Well judging from my title you probably know what I am talking about. With more character and plot development this comedy got better and better through the mid to late eighties. You need a basic sitcom at the start that gets moderate attention as OFAH did, but its only then that you can start bending reality slightly to make something even funnier. Don't get me wrong 1-3 were great in their own right. Then 4-5 were the gateway to 6 and 7 and the other specials that really had the right formula and character development. Remember Trigger will call Rodney Dave for twenty plus years. Not funny in the first episode but by the time we get to 'Modern Men.' Its the funnist 'in' joke of any comedy in history.
I am an expat, and was devasated to have to sell all my OFAH videos before coming to the States. Luckily, just a few years later, and to my overwhelming joy they have started to be released here. Now America can enjoy the hilarity of Del-boy Rodney and Co.
This comedy ran for the better part of 20 years. Why? everybody asks.
Answer? John Sullivan. For Sullivan knows the formula of great comedy, namely tragedy. Del and Rodneys upbringing was tragic. Sullivan himself has a phenomenal social awareness and can push the tragedy and comedy at almost the the same time. Watch Grandads funeral, the first episode of season 4. It starts off pretty grim, but then when they drop his hat into the grave and it turns out to be the vicars hat, then you should ... Read More
Rating: - USA, You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet!!!!!!
I' an English reviewer on an american website. You americans seriously havn't seen anything yet. You think series 1,2,3,4,5, to hull and back, royal flush, dates and frogs legacy are great. Wait til you see episodes like yuppy love(with a very, funny, classic clip), danger uxd(the one with blow up dolls if anyones seen it),Xmas special Jolly Boy's Outing, Miami Twice, series 7, mothr natures son, heroes and villains and a hell of alot more hilarious episodes.
Rating: - ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES
I HAVE LIVED OVER IN THE US FOR TEN YEARS NOW AND HAVE FORTUNATELY BEEN IN A POSITION TO OWN A MULTI-REGION DVD PLAYER. THIS WAS THE ONLY BRITISH COMEDY SERIES THAT I WANTED. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAD NOT BEEN RELEASED BEFORE NOW. I AGREE WITH ONE OF THE OTHER REVIEWS THAT I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY ANY OF THE PUBLIC STATIONS OVER HERE SUCH AS PBS HAVE NOT GOTTEN HOLD OF THIS PROGRAM. IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE FUNNIEST COMEDY THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. WHEN YOU WATCH FROM THE FIRST SERIES RIGHT THROUGH TO THE VERY LAST ONE THAT WAS PLAYED ON BRITISH TELEVISION LAST YEAR, IT IS AMAZING HOW THE MAIN CHARACTERS QUALITIES AND CHARACTERISTICS JUST DEVELOP AND GET FUNNIER. THIS COMEDY IS REAL QUALITY. NOTHING THAT I HAVE SEEN OVER HERE IN THE STATES COMES CLOSE. I WOULD HOPE THAT SOON EVERY SINGLE EPISODE IS RELEASED OVER HERE. THE BEST OF ALL OF THEM IS SERIES SIX. SERIES 4 AND 5 ARE FANTASTIC.
LUBBLY JUBBLY DESCRIBES THIS SERIES VERY WELL. IF THE REST OF THEM ARE NOT RELEASED OVER HER THEN IN WORDS THAT ARE VERY FITTING ARE DEL'S WHO WOULD SAY THAT THE POWERS THAT BE ARE A BUNCH OF "PLONKERS."
IF YOU BUY ANY OF THESE SERIES YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Rating: - classic
an excellent consistently funny series
despite the sad loss of grand pa Leonard Pearce
The show continues on with the hillariosly funny and dillusional former sailor Uncle Albert there all good episodes but my favorites are:
Hole in one where with the boys down on there luck, Uncle Albert attempts to swindle a brewery with a fall down cellar steps at the local
Let sleeping dogs lie Where del and rodders are responsible for Marlene's precious great dane Dukie
Tea for three where in a hillarious scene Del Boy takes flight in a hang glider after boasting trying to impress Triggers neice
The longest night Del and boy walk into a scene of dumbest criminals at a supermarket
There is also four specials:
To Hull and back, where the boys get involved in a diamond smuggeling scheme uncle Albert takes to the waves once again as they try to find holland first of all as they make the exchange in the diamonds scheme
Royal Flush where Del Boy ruins any aspiration Rodney has of rubbing elbows with the aristocracy a disasterous visit to the opera, and a disastorous evening dinner with the family of Rodney's new love interest who happens to be the daughter of a duke ensures that
one of my personal favorite episodes absolutely hillarious
the two other two christmas specials are:
the frogman's legacy and dates
one of my favorite television shows of all time I hope they continue to release more seasons ... Read More
