 A line up of Goofs September 30, 2007

Having seen this series several years ago on my local PBS station, it was such a joy to find this series available in DVD. Rowan Atkinson is such a master of British sarcasm and he's surrounded by a very able and extremely funny cast of off-beat characters. Atkinson's character of Inspector Raymond Fowler is definitely different from his character of Mr. Bean and yet just as hilarious to watch. A bit of slapstick to watch, this is keystone kops updated.

This is not one of the greatest comedy's ever made. However it is good and very occasionally great. You get three DVDs in this set, one for each series and a nice DVD of extras.
Rowan Atkinson gets star billing of course, and he delivers his lines with his usual brilliance - the fact that the lines aren't quite as brilliantly written, as say BlackAdder is not Atkinsons fault. He plays
Inspector Fowler who is in charge of a mottley crew of uniformed officers. All of the supporting cast playing Fowlers team are good.
However the reason to get this series is David Haig (who I have never seen in anythingelse) as Detective Inspector Grim. Although he doesn't get as much screen time as Atkinson when he is on-screen he is superb and steals the show from everybody. His muddled cliches and brilliant delivery are the great bits in this show.
So this isn't as good as BlackAdder or Fawlty Towers, but it is funny and after you've seen a few episodes and got to know the characters you will be hooked!

Rowan Atkinson is fabulous as Inspector Fowler. I sometimes wonder how he keeps his sanity with the crew he was given. The laughs just keep on coming.

This was an excellent Brit TV show. I guess you'd call it a "police farce". The plot is not very subtle, and character development remained elementary throughout the series; but is easily understood (which is good in comedy), and a lot of the innuendos are hillarious. Cast "fits together" very well.
Only question is Why did it last only a few episodes??

If you love British comedy then you will love The Thin Blue Line.
When I need a to put a smile on my face all I do is pop the DVD in
and sit back with a good cuppa.
