Rating: Summary: A Classic Must Have Review: Weather you are Irish or not you will have to watch this comedy over and over to catch all the humor, physical and verbal. And you will enjoy every minute of it. I cant wait for series 2 to be released.
Rating: Summary: Well crafted Irish silliness Review: What do you do with a priest who's bank account seems to accidentally 'store' charity money on a regular basis? What do you do with a priest who's senile, drunk and violent? What do you do with a priest who's too stupid to tell the difference between 'small' and 'far away'? You hide them away on a small island with a demented housekeeper and hope they don't get out.... Father Ted is surreal, silly, intelligent and dry. Highlights include any time Father Jack (Drink! Girls! Feck!) wakes up and almost any conversation with the amazingly dim Father Dougle. Glorious!
Rating: Summary: A truely brilliant Irish Comedy Review: When I moved to the states I thought Ted and the lads were done for, in the States. I was able to catch them on the American BBC. Need I remind you, this an IRISH Comedy. It is not English in any way. Please don't assume. We, the Irish do things a bit different than the Brits. You could say loads of us have droped a few of our marbles and forgot to pick them up, but, in a good way. It is one of the few sitcoms you can watch a few thousand times and still have a great laugh. There is no Comedy to top it.
Rating: Summary: can't live without it Review: With the exception of Black Adder and Fawlty Towers, I have never laughed so hard. A friend and I caught it one night on PBS when I was visiting for Dallas for the North Texas Irish Festival. I came back home, an addict. Now I wait with baited breath for the second season DVD.
Rating: Summary: The best Irish comedy ever Review: Without a doubt, the funniest series ever penned by Irish writers, and also the most hilarious comedy on European TV ever, hands down. The DVD hasn't anything extra to offer, but that's not the reason to buy this DVD - you'll buy it to laugh your arse off. How can you argue with dialogue like this? (Dougal and Ted are in a hospital, waiting for Father Stone to be treated) Dougal: What do you think they'll be doing in there, Ted? Ted: Probably some tests or something like that. Dougal: What kind of tests? General Knowledge? Ted: No, no...I mean medical tests. Dougal: Sure what would he know about that?
Rating: Summary: This is television? Review: Without question, the most brilliant comedy ever to grace the small screen.
Rating: Summary: The Best Review: You may know nothing about father ted and if that is the case then treat yourself, it is quite simply the funniest thing you are likely to see, and short of sueing me if you don't like it I will say that anyone anywhere will love this. Once again, treat yourself.
