@voodoo guess its like any comedy, you like what you like.
I am struggling through S1 of Blackadder...
Blackadder only really kicked off in S2 when they switched around the Blackadder and Baldrick characters. Atkinson being sardonic and Robinson being his whipping boy is what made it.
Just skip S1 altogether. -

There's some great bits in 1, but like Young Ones, season 2 is better

@crucial I thnk ep 3 was the only good one so far (where he was supposed to marry the Spanish Princess)
I have seen plenty of the wartime eps, and know I like them, so I will keep going.
S2 has brilliance interspersed with stupidity, S3 the same but Hugh Laurie lifts it higher.

ive always thought, if "the Office" didn't exist, then the next series of Blackadder should have been set in an office, as "they" become less important each time around, Prince > Lord and advisor to the Queen > butler to a Prince > Army officer ....middle management
started sweet tooth, well made and emotional so far

@r-l best for me was the episode where Roy was caught in the disabled toilet at the theatre, so good
-
@taniwharugby yes!!! God i had rewatch that.
This is why you shouldn't use the disabled toilets unless you are... OR You are a horny cheating rugby player. -

Ben Elton joined Curtis and Atkinson to write series 2, 3, 4. It got much better. I know much of it off by heart, like Farty Towels and some of the Python stuff.

@snowy Yes, season 1, was by far the weakest but still had its moments.
“You promise not to pass laws over Scotland “?
“I promise”…… “I wouldn’t pass water over Scotland”.
Haha. Had forgotten that one. I've still watched it about 5 times, and yes it was still good. Just watched the others about 8 times.
I remember working as a waiter in my teens and a large group of people wanted their dinner ASAP so that they could go home and watch Blackadder. Was the first time that I had heard of it.

Bad Batch - awesome ep last night. For a cartoon this is pretty good.
Loki - Could have just been my mood/tiredness but ep2 just didn't grab me. I might have to try it again. Disclaimer: I'm not a big Marvel fan so I don't get stimulated by looking for easter eggs and the like. Just judging on the show in isolation.

The Grinder
Rob Lowe does Horatio Caine as an actor playing a lawyer in a TV series that's finished so decides to join the family law firm. It's pretty bloody good after 2 episodes, some good laughs, there's the odd cheesy USA sitcom type scene but they're easy to look past.

Don't watch TV on your exercise bike, Handmaid's ruined my work out but it's a price I'll pay, not an episode goes by that I don't cry. Oh my days I wish I could spoil it for you all!!
