Average Rating: 
Rating: - Love this series
Rating a comedy series is difficult because it really is a matter of personal taste. Having said that, if you like good british comedy and possess a somewhat dark sense of humor, then I would highly recommend that you try this series. I have all that are available. Without trying to describe exactly what is going on in this comedy, suffice it to say that it is about a retired couple and all of the awful things that happen in the course of their lives. Not awful, as in huge, but awful in the sense of the stupid stuff that happens that just makes life so darn difficult sometimes. And it all happens to this poor put upon husband. He is very cranky, but I would be too under the same circumstances. His wife is patient and long suffering, but not really sympathetic to his ordeals. Makes for many hilarious episodes. I watch this series over again every few months and I laugh just as hard each time. But, as I said, this is not slapstick, falling down type of humor, of which I am not a great fan. If that is more your cup of tea, so to speak, this may not be the series for you. No idiots here. Not a lot of silliness either. Just a man trying desperately to cope with the many speed bumps of life.
Rating: - One Foot in the Grave
This is a must-have for the Brit lovers who like their humor on the dark side. The episodes beyond the first two seasons just get better and better. Poor redundant Victor and his long-suffering wife get into so many tangles, and with such hilarity, that on more than one occasion my wife and I have had to wring the tears of laughter out of our socks.
By all means get seasons one and two and then join the queue demanding the release of further episodes.
