Now Mrs FC despairs but I do have a liking for fairly obvious basic comedy. My theory is, that if you can see a joke coming over the hill a mile away, and its still funny when it gets to you, then that's comedy genius. Yes? Well I think so. Now this program, its no Dad's Army, or even Likely Lads or Porridge but when it appeared for free on Amazon I took up the challenge of watching every single episode. I had seen a few before but channel 4 had series 3 or 4 to 10 and I only saw it occasionally, so not how it started or finished, and it turns lots in the middle - so it was a worthwhile feat of endurance - I should have opened a Just Giving page and got people to pay me in aid of a good cause.
So my verdict? Ha. Well Mrs FC still despairs**. Jake was funnier when he was little, they'd already started recycling storylines by the time Charlie Sheen left so it was probably time for a shake up and the first series with Kutcher was quite good (relatively speaking). The last series with sheen you can see him physically deteriorating through the series. And the fact that he goes on to make a show called Anger Management, with a main character called Charlie, is almost genius itself. The final series jumped the shark (if that's possible). And the final final episode - how much did the producers hate Sheen to spend an extended episode having fairly crap anti-charlie gags.
Also, and maybes most importantly,-Charlie, Alan and Waldon, spend alot of time in bed with ladies - the ladies never take their underwear off. Not that I was expecting to see nakedness, but they are in bed and you know, still half dressed.
*but she likes zombie stuff such as the walking dead, and fear the walking dead, which I don't get either - why do they always catch up though they can't run? She says its not really about the zombies.
