Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Overrated

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Who in the world thought THIS would be a good idea for a comedy?! After all, the idea of a sitcom involving Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun living in an apartment building is not only bizarre but in pretty bad taste. Apparently, the British public was not amused and only the premier episode was aired--but apparently they shelved seven more. Apart from the Holocaust, repeated bombings of Britain and millions dead, I can't see why the Brits were not thrilled to see such a show!!! I only today found out about this notorious show when I saw an article on a website for Popmatters--where they listed it as the #1 biggest screw-ups in TV history. And, they included a link so I could watch the show. Now the show was not 100% horrible--the actors tried hard. But the writing was so broad and the subject matter so distasteful that I could see why it never aired beyond one episode. Imagine--the Hitlers living next door to the Goldsteins--and their relationship is a bit like an angrier version of the Mertz's and Ricardos. And, while it's disgusting to contemplate, it seems as if the writer was trying to show how the annoying Goldsteins perhaps led Hitler to develop his 'final solution'. Sick...but also worth seeing just once so you can see just how bad TV can be. Now if only I could find a copy of movie "The Day the Clown Cried"--as it is in similarly bad taste.By the way, the worst part about the show was the omnipresent and VERY loud laughtrack. Hearing the supposed audience guffawing at these sick lines of dialog is so surreal and twisted. Hitler....with a laughtrack!

First broadcast on UK Satellite TV in 1990, 'Heil Honey…' is a parody of 1950's sitcoms similar to 'I Love Lucy'. Watching the pilot episode 18 years after it was pulled off television, it's hard not to draw comparisons to the 'adult-comedy' shows of recent times. Compared with the newer animated shows like 'Family Guy', 'South Park','Drawn Together' - even a sitcom making the most evil man of the 20th century look like Jackie Gleason, seems tame by today's standards. In fact, it could have easily passed as a quick 60 second cut-away on 'Family Guy'.One show that springs to mind is the short-lived sitcom parody: "That's My Bush!" (2001). Both embrace the formulas of their target genres, while using the absurdity of having these historic figures as the protagonists in such a trivial medium.It's hard to rate the series as only the pilot episode was broadcast (a copy, which was taped on a home viewers VCR, can be found on YouTube). So it's not fair to judge whether or not the one-note joke would have gotten old or if the show would have taken a different direction. It's rumoured that eight episodes of the series were filmed. With the master tapes being wiped, after the flood of complaints from that initial screening (although there have been reports of the show screening outside the UK). If the master tapes are still out there in some warehouse, we may yet see a DVD release of this lost example of proto-South Park humour.

This may be the worst show I've ever seen. Aside from the tastelessness of having a sitcom about Hitler, it just isn't funny or entertaining in any way. It is very similar to a 1950's sitcom in its cornball humor and contrived situations, but while it can be well done like in I Love Lucy, it's just not funny here. I think the show was based around the novelty "look, it's Hitler as a bumbling sitcom figure" but it just fell flat in every regard. The guy playing Hitler is so hammy that its hard to sit through that alone. I wonder what could have possibly made the network think this was a good idea to air. I thought America had some tasteless show, but the Brits had us beat this time. America would never air a sitcom about Hitler, although we did have that show about Lincoln's slave, The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer. Chances are you'll probably never see this show, since it only aired one episode and will probably never be released on DVD.

Yes, sure "Heil honey I'm home" might sound like a bad idea, what with placing Hitler in the middle of a comedy sitcom but the show delivers. It's just seems so novelty and retro, what with the laughter track and clap track, "Heil honey I'm home" set's the standards for all Hit-com's (Hitler Comedys).Whilst some may be offended by the crude jokes it is important to remember many of the first generation veterans are..well..dead, so deal with it and laugh it up because "Heil honey I'm home" just doesn't stop with the laughs...So to "Heil honey I'm home" i say, whens the next episode due?
