 FANTASTIC !!!! February 15, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Ahhh memories. I watched The Goodies as a child, now it's wonderful to have the DVD. The comedy is sharp, original hilarious. Graham, Tim Bill really broke new ground back in the 70's, now, after more than 30 years the humour is still great for me it has stood the test of time.br /Just take the episode ''Tower of London''. I mean... tiny Beefeaters dissatified with eating corned beef. Genius !! For me, the more twisted unexpected the ideas, the better !! All 8 episodes here are BRILLIANT. I recommend this to anyone who remembers the Seventies likes wacky humour. Absolutely wonderful.

Back in the 1970's when i was a young lad, the biggest and most popular TV comedy to watch was the Goodies!!.The next day it would be the hot topic at school.Believe it or not these guy's were cool then.Every-one watched and laughed at them,and every young lad wanted to be one.Then for me, they disappeared off the face of television......until i found this DVD on Amarzon.br /br /I watched the two discs which contain eight episodes,tower of London,gender education,kitten kong,the Goodies and the beanstalk,kung-fu-kapers,lighthouse-keeping loonies,eathanasia,and saturday-night grease.There you go people i've listed them all!!.br /br /Now then, the memories came flooding back.Tim, Graeme,and my favorite Bill.And Saturday night grease was my favorite episode.I have to agree with one of the other reviewers that it was not as funny now as it was then.Times have changed,and so has comedy .The humor was silly and pantomime esc,but that was the spirit of the times back then.If you want to remind yourself what you laughed at when you were a kid,get the DVD!. Watch it with a few mates,or after a couple of beers,or both....but nowadays, it's not school the next day,it's work!!......
hysterical! August 31, 2006

Have just seen The Goodies (still a)live on stage at the Edinburgh festival, and what a treat it was. An evening of reminiscences and clips from the series including many of the hysterical sequences on this DVD. Perhaps they're not quite PC enough for these sensitive times and maybe some references are a little dated. Possibly they're not as satirical as Monty Python, but dare I say they're a whole lot funnier and consistently more inventive. Long overdue a repeat showing on TV.
You'd be daft not to buy this - a hit with the new generation May 6, 2006

Created, written and performed by comedians Graeme Garden, Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor, 'The Goodies' was a very zany hit BBC comedy that ran for nine seasons until 1981. In the show the trio set themselves up as an agency for hire and call themselves 'The Goodies' (as they were supposedly the good guys), with the motto `We do anything, anytime'. To quote TVTome: "Using a unique blend of sketch comedy, slapstick and almost cartoon-like humour the show was often outrageously madcap, and only rarely failed to hit the mark". During their BBC years The Goodies twice won the Silver Rose of Montreux (Europe's top comedy TV award) - one was for 'Kitten Kong' on this DVD set. Conspiracy theories abound on why none of 'The Goodies' hit episodes were ever re-run by the BBC.br /br /I bought this 2 DVD Goodies set for my daughter (11) after she watched a 'The Goodie years' documentary on TV recently and really seemed to like the humour. She is very very taken with the eight episodes here on the two DVDs (Amazon forgot to mention the 'Gender Education' episode in their review). I told her that around a hundred Goodies episodes were actually made. Her comment after viewing the few here throughout the weekend was 'Why don't they release all the episodes on DVD, anyone would be stupid not to buy them'. She likens the Goodies to the single 'Monkees' NTSC DVD she has that she also likes (Monkees - our favourite episodes). So we have bought 'The Goodies - a second helping' (another 2 DVD set) and the 'Complete Goodies LWT series [one season]'. As I write my son (10) is now sitting down with her in her bedroom laughing at the Goodies antics. My daughters favourites here are Kung Foo Capers, Lighthouse keeping Goodies and Saturday night grease (although she hasn't actually seen Grease). My son thinks the Goodies are 'very funny and stupid'. They obviously really go for the childish humour and visual gags, as my family and I did 30 years ago. br /br /Picture quality is good if slightly noisy on the older 1970's episode but seems to improve as the episodes go toward 1980 (and they are all in colour). Sound is fine (mono on my five quid Amazon resellers set). I don't actually find the Goodies that dated, as well as a lot of clever 'panto' slapstick, they had a sharp script, lots of boyish enthusiasm and a pretty unique visual style, although naturally some aspects are very period like the cars and BBC presenters. The humour has nothing much in common with the more cerebral 'Monty Python' and was probably evolved from the likes of cult UK 1960's kids TV show 'Do not adjust your set' [that introduced 'The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band' and starred many of the Monty Python team], Spike Milligan's Q-series, and zany BBC radio comedy such as 'I'm sorry I'll read that again' (that starred all The Goodies cast and John Cleese) - plus there's a bit of the cast's childhood Warner Brother's 1950's TV cartoons thrown in as well. As such the slapstick gags are probably more accessable to a non-UK audience than Monty Python. So great value laughs for the kids, and highly recommended. Now mum and dad are looking forward to watching them again - goody goody dum dum.
