    You have to appreciate how the wall between the shop and the kitchen separates seemingly two different worlds. No one in the shop knows what's goin on in the kitchen and vice versa.

      I have to appreciate the fact that the two different sets for the show do what they're meant to do? What an odd thing to highlight for consideration 🤔
      If they _didn't_ behave this way, there would be no need to have two in the first place.

    "You hear that?
    He's up there mewing
    in the nerve center of his empire.
    A hike in rent here, a tax dodge there.
    He sticks his leg in the air,
    Laughs his cat laugh
    and then he dives back to grooming his balls."
    I don't know what kind of poetry this is but I love it.

    Graham Linehan co-wrote and directed the first season. As much as I love Dylan Moran, Linehan’s absence really shows in seasons 2 and 3. I think they should have called it after 12 episodes at the latest. The old Fawlty Towers rule. Especially since Bernard owes a lot to Basil anyway, in his utter disdain for the customer.

    • @PrismTheKid
      @PrismTheKid 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I was trying to put my finger on it, it became a lot more 'bland and sitcom-y' once he left and lost a lot of his punchy humor and timing.
      The writing for Manny also takes quite a nosedive and he becomes more a vehicle for slapstick and a brown-noser, an innocent childlike character when he was initially more of a well-meaning hard worker and a foil to Bernard's laziness and filthiness
      I think the Manny's Parents episode might be one of the worst in the series just because of how formulaic it is for a sitcom
