Suit Yourself The Goods decide to use their new loom to make cloth. Tom becomes the proud owner of a bright green woollen suit. Jerry becomes involved in a fight to become JJM's new Managing Director.
The level of writing, intellect and erudition in what was essentiall a 1/2 hour television sitcom - the standards of discourse and education then, you always actually end up learning something about something then, not to mention the vocabulary - you get words like sybarite and troglodyte partic when tom and jerry are in war of wills re: their respective lifestyles, alum increases the "mordancy" of the wool - actual discourse, actual information.
I can't call myself an Anglophile because I'd need to study more of England's history (Agincourt, Waterloo and the like) to have that distinction, but I am fully invested in the popular culture. I can't say that I've learned any standard vocabulary from this delightful show, but I have added to my British slang vocabulary which started many years ago (early 80's) when we stayed in "an" hotel a few steps from Sloane Square. Bought a very entertaining book, "The Sloane Rangers Handbook". Excerpt: "Oh, dear... what a pong! Did someone drop a beast?" I was hooked after that. Cheers!
The fleece has body part attached .... now she's making wool yarn? .. Funny ... not a card in sight? Okay 1 set ... They did all that yarn from a drop spindle..?
I noticed the fleece mistake but what was more silly was making the suit. It would have taken her weeks of weaving to produce enough fabric to make a suit and then she would have to hand sew it . But I still enjoy the shows in spite of the errors.
@@jaydee9124 Yeah, absurd. Fibre is not long enough, left on sheepskin. To even begin. Then there's the absurdity of the loom. .. titter! I'm a man but done enough weaving, to note the errors on set. Made upholstery fabrics. For a complicated weave 8 heddle. Wide bed. Suit fabric would be similar, less pattern. Cheers!
@@jaydee9124 From the first episode it was a fool's paradise. The first thing Barbara did the next day was to demolish their greenhouse to make a chicken coop. WHAT? Any vegetable gardener would be apoplectic, myself included. Then they tried to make butter from goat's milk? 🙄 It's still fun, anyway.
After Tom has finished, "Raping Mother Nature" (when was rape ever funny?) and grabs a bunch of nettles with his bare hand (idiot) Margo responds, "Man has needs, nature provides... I should find yourself some dock leaves." Score one for Margo 🙌🏻 Just a thought: Why doesn't Barbara try to repair the rips at the seams of Tom's sweater (Pullover? Jumper?) instead of trying to make new clothes? Make do and mend, eh wot?

Gorblimey…..such big words…looks like you swallowed a fesorious!
Barbara carries sheepskins into the house, not fleeces. Probably real fleeces would have fallen apart all over the place :)
i love margos face when tom and barbera 'tease' the wool
This is fabulous what a delightful sitcom way more entertaining than todays sitcoms :-)
Margo in turtleneck & plaid skirt OMFG.
The look on Jerry's face every time he looks at Barbara....he really likes her.
Brilliant
'that rose bush is lopsided jerry, don't worry i'm going 2 stick a bit back on' i LOVE that line!!!!
I think it bounced off a tree!
"I'm raping Mother Nature" that line shouldn't be funny but it was lol

@@hirundine44 I've seen recently sheared sheep. That's not what comes off of them. No mud, no twigs no poop.
