Title: Prepare to hurt yourselves laughing
Review: There are very few comedies I would put in the gut-busting funny category, and this series is one of the few. I inadvertently caught the entire series a LONG time ago during a PBS marathon, and I was, in all honesty, in pain from laughing so hard. I'm not a big fan of Monty Python, so this type of humor appealed to me more: Not as reliant on obscure British references, but crafted in a way that can be widely appreciated by a more varied American audience. Think "Newhart" on steroids. Great, great caustic, physical/slapstick humor that's made even funnier by a fantastic cast. This stuff loses no appeal with repeated viewings; in fact, these episodes are as funny the 10th time you watch them as they are the first. I will be replacing my VHS tapes with this DVD edition REAL soon.
