Rating: Summary: A customer Review: Tried to order this last year and again a few months back and it never shipped.Finally I ordered again last week and got it yesterday. Woohoo, probably one of the best comedies from the UK, certainly in my top 5. If you like this look for any of the Alan Partidge stuff (especially the ones after the talk show) Seriously funny stuff.
Rating: Summary: Ha Ha Review: Very funny DVDs. Dougel!!! HAHA...this is a very funny set. It is worth your while. Get it!
Rating: Summary: A word about the DVDs Review: Well, sort of. It WILL make you laugh. Like the other reviewers, I was hooked almost obsessively from the first episode I stumbled upon, on BBC America, a sad many years after the series was filmed (why does it take America so LONG to get these shows, anyway?) Suffice to say, this is what a sitcom should be! Don't let the thought of Irish priests fool you, if you love shows like the Simpsons and Seinfeld, this is kind of like them combined in it's own unique way and then cranked up several notches (with perhaps some Green Acres thrown in there for the hell of it). I can't recommend it enough.
As an additional note, the HOLY TRILOGY has extensive commentary by 1/2 the writing team, Graham Linehan, and it is one of the best commentaries I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. It's chock-a-block filled with anecdotes, self-deprecating humour and truly useful information for anyone interested in the world of comedy writing. That alone is worth the price of admission.
