Customer Review: LOVE IT!!!
You don't have to "get" British humor to love Only Fools. It's a laugh riot. My husband told me it was his favorite show in the world, so I ordered it for him, and haven't stopped laughing since. Dell Boy makes me cringe, but it's fun to watch.
Customer Review: Like Seinfeld, this comedy needed time to get the formula right.
Well judging from my title you probably know what I am talking about. With more character and plot development this comedy got better and better through the mid to late eighties. You need a basic sitcom at the start that gets moderate attention as OFAH did, but its only then that you can start bending reality slightly to make something even funnier. Don't get me wrong 1-3 were great in their own right. Then 4-5 were the gateway to 6 and 7 and the other specials that really had the right formula and character development. Remember Trigger will call Rodney Dave for twenty plus years. Not funny in the first episode but by the time we get to 'Modern Men.' Its the funnist 'in' joke of any comedy in history. I am an expat, and was devasated to have to sell all my OFAH videos before coming to the States. Luckily, just a few years later, and to my overwhelming joy they have started to be released here. Now America can enjoy the hilarity of Del-boy Rodney and Co. This comedy ran for the better part of 20 years. Why? everybody asks. Answer? John Sullivan. For Sullivan knows the formula of great comedy, namely tragedy. Del and Rodneys upbringing was tragic. Sullivan himself has a phenomenal social awareness and can push the tragedy and comedy at almost the the same time. Watch Grandads funeral, the first episode of season 4. It starts off pretty grim, but then when they drop his hat into the grave and it turns out to be the vicars hat, then you should understand the co-relation of this comedy, tragedy thing Im talking about. One of my favorite lines ever is when Rodney says after his marriage is failing "Ive got this horrible feeling that if there is such a thing as reincarnation, knowing my luck I'll come back as me!" Genius! To all Americans, this is the best comedy of all time on any continent, and if you give it time you will see why. funny lines, as well as funny situations. Not many comedies can say they can do both. By the time you get to season 6 you actually start watching them to find out how these peoples lives will turn out, really you will. Of course you don't have to beleive me, just read all of the other high reviews of OFAH on this Amazon site.
