Summary: Agree the show is a tension fest and not that humorous at al
Review: Let's face it if this show hadn't starred Python alumnus John Cleese this show would be as famous as Mind your Language.

Summary: Not bad but it's vastly overrated
Review: This isn't so much a hilarious sitcom as a tension fest. Every talks half way to a whisper most of the time. Cleese looks inbred and mildly retarded. Maybe this explains why in real life he thinks it's funny to go around harrassing people.

Summary: I simply don't find the humor...
Review: I was very much anticipating watching Fawlty Towers because of all the wonderful reviews given. I expected it to be witty, refined, and just plain funny, I found none of that. All I found was an extremely boring and unexpiring comedy. I don't see the humor in Basil falling down in every episode or slamming Manuel's head into the wall. After the first "uno, dos, tres" episode with Manuel, any other times Basil has a tough time communicating with Manuel, it just seems tired. There is no subtle humor because everything in the show is such an overtly over exaggeration. There is not an ounce of believability... I thought this comedy would be something the vein of The Office, Arrested Development, The Larry Sanders Show, Waiting For Guffman, etc. To say the least I was very disappointed...

Summary: Owning it let's you savor its genius
Review: "Fawlty Towers" is one of those rare comedies that not only can be watched on repeated occasions, but positively demands it. According to the DVD, each episode -- of which there were 12 -- took 4 months to write, and it's all there for you to see. Glorious, funny, laced with bile and stuffed with truth, "Fawlty Towers" was written out of "deep anger", according to Prunella Scales (Sybil Fawlty), like most of the greatest comedies. I love the series to death and recommend it unreservedly. Perfection.

Summary: Excellent DVD collection of a classic series
Review: If you're a fan of Fawlty Towers or of British Comedy in general, you owe it to yourself to purchase the Fawlty Towers complete DVD collection. Not only are all the episodes included and remastered, but the extras are also very well done. It's nice to see interviews with John Cleese, as well as career bios of the major actors in the series. Other notable features are a running director's commentary and an interesting documentary on how the series got its start.

Summary: A TIMELESS T.V, SERIES CLASSIC
Review: For anyone who has never seen a Faulty episode. I urge you to rent it and will garuntee that you will purchase the complete collection afterwards. One of my all time favorites is The Germans with Cleases famous imitation of Hitler and The corpse. When a guest dies and the hotel and other guests believe it to be a murder case. A word of caution : Only watch one episode at a time or your sides will burst from laughing. I only wish that he would have made a movie out of it. Listening to his ideas on the DVD sounded like it would have been a hit if he had done it.

Summary: The crowning glory of all comedies..............
Review: When I first saw this unparalleled comedy in the mid 1970's, I was attending a Grammar School in England. I well remember that after each new episode was aired, we would discuss it the following day with our History master during class, easily diverting him from the lesson plan he had. He loved it as much as we did. I swear that many times during the 12 episodes, I could barely breathe as I was laughing so much. There are so many funny parts in all the episodes. My personal favourite scenes are when Basil and Sybil have their verbal exchanges - priceless. Both the visual and verbal comedy are unsurpassed. I only wish I could erase my memory banks of this show and watch all the episodes again for the first time!
