"Sorry Phil, I more meant that it&#39;s weird that it&#39;s escaped your radar. You have a pretty impressive knowledge of British TV that most American video Anglophiles (Including me) have never heard of. &quot;The Young Ones&quot; was actually big enough here that it eventually got a DVD release stateside. In the day it was popular enough that MTV also used to broadcast &quot;The Comic Strip Presents&quot; as a tie in. (Not to oversell &quot;The Young Ones&quot; though. As Spacewarp mentioned, it&#39;s not all that sophisticated. It&#39;s fun but mostly responsible for upping the grossout factor in British comedy.)<br /><br />It may be a generational thing as I alluded to. Like how I somewhat disagreed with the thrust of your Star Wars post. As a ten year old kid I can attest that the main appeal was nothing to do with John Campbell and everything to do with the generous visual and auditory spectacle of tons of robots, aliens and spaceships at a time when your were lucky to even get one of each in movies of the day. This would be less obvious to someone who had grown up in the wake of countless knockoffs and a Hollywood that has embraced said same."
