That was an excellent one.

just watch it!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I like the way the sitcom shows men and women stereotypically, also the way they treat each other using blackmail, bribe and manipulation. Class isn't really shown as much in "whatever Happened to the Likely Lads". Although, "Men Behaving Badly" makes me laugh a lot more than "WHTTLL". I've been studying these two Sitcoms mentioned above for my AS-level. Watching Sitcoms is the best part of Media Studies. The Sitcom reflects the period in which it was written. While Social Class isn't as a big issue compared to "WHTTLL". Gary has a well paid job but never makes mention of it. The only time class is mentioned is when Tony is criticising Debs boyfriend, who are invariably 'middle class snobs'. Gary and Tony are stereotypes of masculinity, specifically the negative aspects such as immaturity, selfishness, lack of sensitivity and domestication. Dothothy and Debs, the female characters are also stereotypes but specifically they offer the more positive traits of responsibility, maturity and patience.

A classic example of great brit TV that didn't make the grade when translated into an American sitcom. (You may recall the "Men Behaving Badly" with Rob Schneider, Ron Eldard and Ken Marino which flopped despite a good cast, decent chemistry and desperate reformatting.) I wished it to survive due to my partiality to this original.The formula is simple: Responsible guy with wacky roommate, relationship humor and sticky situations...but it works splendidly. It's comparable to Dennis' better known "Coupling", which is scripted just a bit tighter, and obviously more attractive. But "MbB" is just every bit as witty while being a little more down to earth and not confined to the sexual humor genre.

Brilliant, hilarious, crude, and did I say brilliant!!! Neil is great in these series, as is Martin, Caroline and Leslie. The look at their hum-drum lives couldn't be funnier and yet so close to the heart of so many of us out there!!! These two unlikely house-mates (Clunes and Morrisey) somehow make a fantastic coupling of characters which tug at the funny-bones, and even a little at the heartstrings, as they try to impress (but often insult) the patient and persevering Deborah and Dorothy. Not to mention their less than impressive career moves. Leaves a certain American series starring a certain American comedian for dead!!!

There's absolutely nothing glamorous about the life of Tony and Gary. As a matter of fact they are kind of pathetic and sad. Nevertheless, I would love to spend much more time with them.This series is a splendid, intelligent alternative to the dominating American sit-com culture. In short (and in Gary's and Tony's own words): »Classic!«PS: Did I mention that Dorothy and Deborah are unusually funny, too. But to me, they'll never be role models like G&T.And a PPS to American television producers: PLEASE don't try to transform MBB into an American version!
