A Legendary Show... or it should be June 7, 2008 Ms. E. A. Pearson (Londonish) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
As many people have said this show was cursed in this country by an abismal timeslot. It well diserved a Primetime slot, with a reapeat in where it was uncerimoniously dumped. This show is huge in America, but here no one's heard of it. This show consistantly has made me laugh out loud, so much so that my housemates come in to ask me what's so funny.
br /
br /The comparison to Friend's is obvious, but if you go deeper than a vauge hand wavey premis, you can see the shows are quite different. This show was made 10 years later than Friends. This means slightly more risque storylines, not so much as to be crass but only to make them truely laugh out loud funny. The way the story is told is also completely different, telling them out of order in flashbacks and fast forwards which only drives them more and leaves you craving for the next bit to piece together the puzzle. The grand arc of the show is driven by the question 'who is the mother' with tantalising hints being dropped all the time (I've seen seasons 2 and 3 as well.) and the more they give you the more you want to know. But at it's very core are a set of great characters who you love and laugh at with equal measure.
br /
br /I think I've made it clear that I LOVE THIS SHOW. Great plots and characters told in magnificent style. Well worth it.
Why is this show not on prime time? April 26, 2007 Mr. R. Smith (Hampton, TW12) 11 out of 13 found this review helpful
Like the previous reviewer, I was lucky enough to watch every episode when it was shown in the UK. But BBC2 at 6.30 on an Sunday evening? No wonder hardly anyone has heard of this show. And there are so many worse shows that get more airtime????
br /
br /Without wanting to make the obvious comparisons with Friends, if you loved that you will love this. Great performances all round and sharp, witty, and genuinely funny scripts, all played with great warmth.
br /
br /Do not miss out.
Highly recommended May 12, 2007 J. Johnson (UK) 11 out of 13 found this review helpful
A brilliant comedy that deserved a much better TV slot than it got. Hope someone has the sense to take up series 2. If you missed it on TV you won't be disappointed with the DVD - it is very funny. As said before, if you like friends you'll like this.

a great show! August 22, 2007 Rit (London) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
bought my copy from amazon a few days ago.. a great great show.
br /every episode has moments that make you laugh. there is a proper plot through all 22 episodes.
br /one reservation though.. disc's 1 and 2 do seem to skip alot. not sure whether this is my dvd player or the discs themselves.
br /
br /in the words of barney this series is.. legendary!!
br /suit up!!
br /looking fwd to catching series 2 - although surely there must be a better timeslot for this show than 6pm on a sun evening.. after all that big bro pap gets wall-to-wall coverage!
br /cheers,
