    I still think Fawlty towers was the best comedy series of all time . Each episode was a classic . Beautifully crafted and performed. Unlike American sitcoms not dragged on and on, till you cant stand the sight of them anymore. Just brilliance.

    Loved also the supporting character of the Major. Such as when the moose head was resting on the reception desk, manuel was out of sight cleaning shelving below counter, started a conversation with the major who then thought it was the moose head speaking to him.

    Cleese's hallmark is rigorous logic. All his sketches build and escalate perfectly. Fawlty Towers is a work of genius, co-written with Connie Booth of course whose contribution should never be underestimated, FT is the best thing Cleese ever did and the only thing written with Booth

    • @bsvenss2

      Not true. He wrote _Snavely_ (1978) with Booth and _Romance with a Double Bass_ (1975) with her, even if she was uncredited in that one.

    The Kipper and the Corpse was probably the only time Basil came out the victor by just diving into the laundry basket and leaving Sybil to have to deal with the entire catastrophe. Mrs Richards was a hysterical episode but poor old Basil still lost out when Sybil took his money off of him.

      @@scottandrewbrass1931 lol very good. You could form a new python with that gift for the style. I tried to do python comedy myself in my early 20s. I'm in my 40s now. You can get all sorts of stuff out of just writing sketches on and on like they did and not ending them like a conventional sketch show would. I have some good ones but they'll never see the light of day now. Here's one anyway, one show opens with a totally bedraggled bride and groom crawling across deserts to get to the wedding ceremony only for someone to object to the marriage based on the groom being a bigamist so it's voided and the couple die from dehydration after which a program discusses the morality of making newlyweds traverse vast expanses to prove their commitment to marriage, debated by two atheists passionately until the host reminds them that they're atheists so they realise they don't care and the entire program ends immediately. The wedding couple traversing a desert is the start point, I just made up the rest right now. But you see how one thing can lead to another which is what Python did. Another sketch show would just stop at the wedding itself but that's killing the comedy, it's much more fun to keep going like Mr Pithers bicycle tour.

    For the life of me I can't understand why Only Fools and Horses is considered the best British comedy ever. Personally I'd rate Fawlty Towers at 1 and Black Adder and Steptoe and Son as a coin flip for 2 & 3. Mind Your Language was a also a favourite of mine when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I found OF&H too predictable as a 13/24 year old, as it's irony. Rising Damp was excellent too.

      Cannot deny the US efforts have been and are brilliant. Absolutely.
      However, the US ones rarely have that edge to them that British comedy (sometimes) does, the US ones play out within safe parameters. There is always that little bit of patronising of the audience with US material, as if they feel the people are a little too thick to get jokes that offer no punchline.
      I'd add 'South Park' to one of the US greats and as the creators of it do say they were influenced by British humour and Monty Python to boot, how about we call it a score draw :)

    It seems they have a plot outlined and much is ad libbed or impovised and may have several running gags that hopefully all meet to a conclusion. A rather hit and miss affair. But all seem extremely memorable, hilarious and replayed. Yet, there were only 12 episodes. 6 in '75 a gap of 4 years and another 6 in '79. There were some great stuff on TV then. I find that with some actors such as John Cleese or Jerry Lewis, their explanations sound complicated and bewildering.

    I get that FT is well written, acted, and have nothing but respect for John Cleese. But something about the show just gives me anxeity, so it's hard to watch for me.

    Cleese's body language here makes it look like someone deepfaked his face onto Ingmar Bergman

    I dont think its that. People don't like Cybil because she's not funny. People like to laugh, people like to laugh AT peoples foibles and she is just unpleasant. People don't like Fawlty, they like JOHN CLEESE pretending to be Fawlty. He's a total a hole (fawlty) but he's an entertaining one. And because Cybil is not funny they 'blame her' for his unpleasantness, the reverse of the saying 'behind every good man is a good woman'. Or like how Pink Floyd talks about the horrible teacher but sings that his 'fat and psychopathic wife with thrash him within inches of his life". When the truth is likely the very opposite. In fact a remake of Fawlty Towers that would be possible today would be showing Cybils off time when she's having an affair with a man who isn't a violent lunatic and where she's funny, relaxed, kind, and the opposite to how she is with Basil. Or even more popular would be the porn version where she's having one with Polly:)

    I like it first time around as a kid but as an adult it wasn't actually that great in all honesty.

      @@Kris.G The fashions, probably. Or maybe all the references to Henry Kissinger? I just rewatched it a few weeks ago and I think it holds up really well.
