Fawlty Towers
I don't know if u guys like British humor, but I do. Fawlty Towers is one of the funniest shows ever imo. I think John Cleese is a genius.

Re: Fawlty Towers
I LOVE that show. Used to watch it at my grandma's house many moons ago, and i bought the DVD set a few years back. Its definitely the great, dry humor.Check out my Tampa Bay Buccaneers CFM Thread.

Re: Fawlty Towers
Fawlty, not Faulty. Well, watching it and getting bored is probably because many Americans don't like British humor. Personally I love it! I also liked "Are you being served?" and "Yes, prime minister". I guess I like both British and American humors.My Specs:

Re: Fawlty Towers
I loved "Monty Python" and the British "Office", but Cleese's role in "Fawlty"Towers wasn't to my liking at all. I guess it's possible to like British humor but not ALL British humor.Comment

Re: Fawlty Towers
I've seen a few episodes of Fawlty Towers and it's pretty good. I like Cleese's relationship with the Spanish help. (Manuel I believe?) I absolutely LOVED Are you Being Served? and I think its humor has seeped into American humor. Just look at old episodes of Night Court and you'll see that it's more or less a toned down (and different situation) version of AYBS?. I even watched a few episodes of Are you Being Served Again? which had the characters at an old country inn. Unfortunately it just didn't have the panache of the original series.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Fawlty Towers
Also as a kid and watching the show on reruns I had a crush on Miss Brahms. How embarrassed was I to learn that the show was taped during the 1970s! I thought it was a 1980s show.

Re: Fawlty Towers
Mr. Humphries was a genius character. I loved how the writers made him insanely gay but they never confirmed in one way or another if he was truly homosexual.
