Brit Com at its best! February 16, 2007

Blackadder is a necessary, if not the necessary, British comedy television show to watch. Pure cunning, dry wit, and ruthless sarcasm abound in this set containing all episodes of the series.

Black Adder, in sequential episodes from the medieval to World War I and beyond,
is like nothing you've seen before. Words and action are elaboratly mounted,
sophisticated, acerb, elegantly rude and achingly funny.
Nearby comments on Monty Python apply here and as well to Fawlty Towers.
Love one, you'll love all three.

Spoof! from sneaky humor to outrageous howlingly funny. Great escapist entertainment. You see history that never was (fortunately!) Various historical characters with hysterically funny renditions. Black Adder (Rowan Atkinson) plays all the Adder sons over the centuries and of course, figures as a central (if off center) personality in each major event of English history (and some that maybe never happened, but should have.) Sexually suggestive in places! Downright bawdy in others. A real hoot! Every episode is wonderful! Then the last one, while funny, is very poignant.
Remember when people had conversations? January 6, 2007

Watching this show, it occurred to me you don't see too many shows where people actually have whole conversations. Shows where dialogue drives the plot instead of UST or explosions or the soundtrack...
Ahh, them were the days. There are so many things to love about this show, I will but name a few:
costumes, sets, plots, dialogues, funny characters, Rik Mayall as Flashheart, the insults, the metaphors
You get the idea. Now go get the DVDs!
(BTW, on a couple of the special features that Tony Robinson -Baldrick - narrates, it sounds like he gets cut off before completing a description. I'd be interested to know if this has happened for anyone else.)
