When Tim said "No man is an Island", Lee said "What about the 'Isle of Man'?". "Isle of Man" an island between England and Northern Ireland. Not "The Island Man"
American Megan Dodds only did one series. She was replaced by a Brit, Sally Bretton, who continued to be in all the future series. Series 2 onwards were absolutely hilarious. You need to binge watch all the series....they get funnier every series. 🤣
I agree Natasha... My all time favourite episodes are the Series 6 episode 9 Christmas Special "The House"... Closely followed by the Series 5 episode 3 "Camping"... 🤣 But every series ultimately has it's own comedy merits... But it most definitely gets better with the start of Series 2. 👌👍
@Paul Hitchens Each to their own mate... But the majority agree that the comedy was much better from the second series onward... When they changed the American actress Megan Dodds for the British actress Sally Bretton... The comedy lines and comebacks had a much smoother rhythm to them with the onscreen chemistry between Sally and Lee. 👌
The irony of saying that over here we hold Shakespeare as the “be all and end all” of the English language is delicious, because Shakespeare coined that exact phrase in Macbeth - so he’s seeped into American vernacular as much as ours without most of either of us realising it 😂 Great reaction btw! Some people didn’t like this show but I always thought it was hilarious
@@YorkshiremanReacts26 just going to now, I binged reaction to whole goodnight sweetheart show and how last few episodes was, I basically was emotionally destroyed and wanted to be careful what I watch until felt better
yes she is american. megan dodds the actor was born in sacremento. The series actually improves a lot when she leaves after season one. she isnt as good as the character who replaces her.
The show as far as I'm aware hasn't ended but they don't always do a series every year. The cast and characters have changed over the years, the only constant being Lee Mack, but that has maybe helped keep it fresh and constantly funny. Some of the later series with Bobby Ball as Lee's father are hilarious.
Hello. It's set in London and Tim Vine actually sang in one of the episodes. His brother is a well-known interviewer. If you thought this was funny you should see the rest! The funniest sitcom l've ever seen.
Erm, poppers are something else (not Chrtistmas crackers) in the UK (poppers are a bottle of inhaled drug sometimes used during sex play- so be careful if you ask for poppers in the UK! ) Good to see your reactions, I've not seen this series for years- Tim and Lee both wrote it so it's a vehicle for their jokes and, of course, their experience as stand up comedians means they deliver the punchlines with great timing. Another sitcom around the same time that was pretty funny was "Men Behaving Badly"- which sort of revolves around a couple of guys who have the maturity of teenagers whilst in their 30s.
It's also quite possible, Alex, that his sister's Brit boyfriend told them about both Xmas Crackers and Party Poppers - and they just put the wrong name to what they are now using . . . ???
@@anoldfogeysfun indeed. Though, like using the word "dogging" to mean verbally attacking, probably best get the UK meanings explained before unintentional rudeness!
I am really pleased you began watching this. I've watched it from the beginning. In my opinion it gets better as it goes along, i hope you stick with it.
So glad ur reacting to this as I don’t think I’ve seen anyone react to it before. But this is one of my fave shows it’s a proper comfort show for me and lee Mack is hilarious.
I never properly watched the early episodes as the script jokes seemed a bit too contrived but eventually i caught on to the later series and worked backwards. Appreciate them all now
My favourite series of all time, although series one is not the best. Series two onwards is when it’s absolutely hilarious with sally bretton, you could quite easily not waste your time on series one and jump to series two without missing anything. Keep these coming. Much love from 🇬🇧
@@andrewmay1299 are you ok my friend as you seemed to have missed the important word in my comment which is ‘my’. This is MY favourite series. What’s yours? You can’t beat jokes every few seconds, comedy is the tonic for life.
@@wetpanther99 exactly mate everyone likes stuff for different reasons and that’s why opinions exists lmao I never understand why people are trying to just dismiss peoples choices for stuff and try to belittle them just over a opinion
Love this show & have watched it since it's first series in 2006. Not every episode is brilliant but better then that, it's consistently good & has so many great moments. One of the only things i actually watch on normal tv channels these days. It's just a light-hearted, funny & enjoyable show.
Glad you're giving this a go. Set in London. Dodds is from CA. Series/season one is well worth continuing, but as everyone says it ramps up another gear for season two onwards. 😀
Lee Mack is awesome and you've barely scratched the genius of this show, season 2 onwards it comes into its own... secondly anyone else only watching this whilst waiting for the King to upload the next instalment of the inbetweeners reaction?
The fact that I (a native Brit) can tell the difference between a typical American accent and a Canadian accent and an American can’t has given me a major ego boost😂 Only taking the piss KB😉 as always love the reactions. Went to subscribe and realised I already was🤦🏼♂️
Even if you don't watch every single episode of this, don't miss out on later ones where they just get better and better. The last 2/3 series are absolute writing gold, Lee Mack is a genius.
😆 love you saying you do poppers with your family! We call the Christmas items Crackers. Poppers are (legal?) highs you sniff and then laugh. Also used a lot in the gay community. Have a look for Peep Show ( David Mitchell) and Friday Night Dinner (Will from Inbetweeners) when you get chance. Keep up the good work, Muppet! 😁
KB, I am SO glad you discovered NGO, because I think it's one of the best sitcoms ever, right up there with the Inbetweeners and Big Bang.. Series 1 wasn't the best but I liked it, probably because Kate was heavenly! But she left after Series 1. In later episodes you will meet a whole cast of crazy characters, including Tim's sister Lucy (Lee's new landlady), his girlfriend Daisy (craziest of the lot), Tim and Kate's parents and Lee's dad. By the way, this first episode is from 2007 and it's still going on, so you have a lot to catch up on!
Like you, I'm not a big 'sit-com' fan , many being a lot of 'sit' and not much 'com'.But stumbled across this during season 2 (having never seen season 1 I was a bit confused who the American lady was) and thought it was actually very good. And yes, as others have said, it actually gets better as the seasons progress.Also interesting is the fact that the BBC actually cancelled this after a few seasons but there was such an outcry from fans that the BBC reconsidered and it's still going strong today...and finally 'Keep your mimery at a distance!'.lmfao!..phrase of the day and I may have to borrow it :)
Such a fantastic show. The first series isn't the best but is still damn good compared to the comedy and sitcoms today, series 2 is where it gained pace with the viewers and became a big hit for the BBC. Sadly theres been no news on a series 13 but i'm hopeful. Glad I made the suggestion on the live stream 😂Also the series is based in London
Not Going Out is a great little comedy show with some brilliant one liners and crazy situations they get into. If you like S1 you will love the show from S2 onwards when Lee (the ultimate slacker) has to share with Tim's sister Lucy. Some very funny episodes.
Lee and Tim bounce off each other so perfectly while their stand-up work, whilst both very wordplay orientated, is so opposite. Tim's is family friendly, never swears, and Lee is Lee. Seen Tim live twice, was very drunk both times and never remember a single joke as I'm walking out because every line just comes flying so quickly after the last one. Also, pointless fact, the woman leading the clown class was Lee's co-host on his Radio 4 series.
Tim Vine is so adaptable. I was impressed by him in Taskmaster which I'm sure you've had many recommendations for. Not Going Out just keeps getting better.
Awesome series all the way to end there is twelve series and all good I love watching your reaction to British comedy stand up etc i love your reaction
The first season is ok it aired in 2006, but the series doesn't really find it's feet until Sally Breton comes in for series 2. The series is set in London. I really hope you continue with this series, it's well worth it.
This gets better. Lee Mack is just a comedy genius. He wrote this, first aired in 2006 and still running, making it one of the longest running sitcoms in UK TV history. Like a lot of long running series, IMO, it's time was up a few seasons ago
Not going out first went on TV in 2006 .. & its still been on quite recent.. the American actress was only series 1 I think.. she was replaced by a different actress who was loads better suited .. in the later series he married Lucy & they had 3 children.. the later series were still so funny x
Oh yes - great to see this on your channel. Love this series, especially the first 5 or so. You should check out another British comedy called “Coupling” if you enjoy this one. Also Bottom with Rik Mayall, brilliant- All the best
I enjoyed most of this sitcom, the best thing about you reacting to this is that hardly, if any reactors have done this show. Everyone has done Idiot Abroad, etc etc which gets tedious so it’s good your doing a different show
oh wow, i've never seen anyone react to this this should be great. I saw an episode of this being filmed somewhere in Hertfordshire years ago, it was a fantastic experience.
This is definitely a show that got better and better, I'm fairly new too your channel but have you reacted to 'only fools and horses' yet, you'll love it, and you will learn yourself a whole bunch of new favourite words
In the UK we have a lot of great comedies/sitcoms. Often it's the combination of the brilliant comedians and amazing writing. I would also recommend Black Blooks, The I.T. Crowd, Friday Night Dinner, and Only Fools and Horses.
Shakespeare shaped the English language, from the standardisation of spelling, vocabulary and common use phrases. this is why he's such an important literary figure
This show is still going and re invented itself a few times. Every series gets funnier, all based on clever word play and innuendo. Tim and Lee wrote this together it's situated in London. Tim's ex leaves the flat eventually and tim moves his sister in to live with lee who then becomes Lees love interest.
I actually had no idea this series began with an american landlady. After the first season its a different actress and a different vibe, much improved even if this was good in itself
We call them “Christmas Crackers” over here. I remember one year pretending to read out the joke but replacing it with the most inappropriate joke I could think of. The look on my sisters face was priceless when she thought that was the actual official joke. 😂🤣😂
Love NGO - the humour is that quick fire style - unusual for a British sitcom, almost reminds me of the likes of Frasier. Definitely worth sticking with. Not a sitcom as such but it’s worth checking out Big Train. A late 90s/early 00s UK sketch show starring the likes of Simon Pegg - some brilliant humour in there.
Interesting you mention so much about Tim Vine’s narration voice. His brother is a very successful and high profile journalist, news anchor and tv/radio presenter in the UK.
If you enjoyed this episode then you really need to watch the others. They only get better. The writing is brilliant and never drops it's standards. Just hilarious entertainment.
Hello King Boomer the first. Considering that you don't normally enjoy sitcoms, I'm really glad that you enjoyed this sitcom by Lee Mack. All the actors gel really well. Very quick witted. The great thing is that they all seem to get a share of the punch lines. No favouritism. Hope you continue to watch this series. As with all series, the characters grow, and you get to know them more. Which makes it even more enjoyable. 🏴👍
Yes they do get better series 2 is where Sally bretton I've probably spell that wrong but anyway, is introduced as Tim's sister. But as a side note Lee mack write this to.
There is a sketch with Lee Mack and Tim Vine in that once you have seen it will never leave your mind, you will remember it till the day you die. Look for "Men can multitask too".
An excellent comedy. As for the setting, the first batch of series’ were set in the financial district of London, around Canary Wharf where Lee moved into a high rise apartment.

There are more good, famous actors in future episodes. There is almost 100 so far. I'm waiting for more.
Not "the island man" - the "Isle Of Man". Glad you enjoyed the joke anyway, it's a bit of a cliched old joke in the UK.

tim and lee were also in the sketch show together, years before this.
Leered Macks from Blackburn , Lancashire in the North East of England . Northerners do speak quicker than most people .
44:07 To be fair, he did have a little help with the last 5 names "Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich", was the name of a British 60s pop group! 😁
so many great gags in this series

Has all most other comment's say, this is good but gets better in series 2,now watch gimme gimme gimme, that is another good one.
