ulca01 A really funny show with great humor, actors and stories. It is the first time I have seen Martin Clunes in any other show than "Doc Martin", and it is refreshing to see that he can play a character who is not as "dry" or "humorless" than his character in "doc Martin".I especially like the story lines where Gary gets himself into trouble with Dorothy, and also the ones where Tony fails at "getting" Deborah.I quite honestly can not find anything about this show to dislike; I find it flawless and much less irritating than some of the other stuff on the telly.All in all, this is a great example of classic, wacky, British humor, which I personally find to be the best.
Mmyers2003 I wish it had carried on longer but all good things must come to an end sometime. Another classic Uk sitcom and going by the 90's standards of crappy comedy this definately is the best one of the decade (except maybe Bottom and Vicar of Dibley). Watch this show its worth it.
soholm There's absolutely nothing glamorous about the life of Tony and Gary. As a matter of fact they are kind of pathetic and sad. Nevertheless, I would love to spend much more time with them.This series is a splendid, intelligent alternative to the dominating American sit-com culture. In short (and in Gary's and Tony's own words): »Classic!«PS: Did I mention that Dorothy and Deborah are unusually funny, too. But to me, they'll never be role models like G&T.And a PPS to American television producers: PLEASE don't try to transform MBB into an American version!
archer1267 Not since The Young Ones have I been so hooked on a British comedy!I lived in England for a brief period and while over there was introduced to Men Behaving Badly, possibly THE funniest sitcom I've ever seen. I was embarrassed when we (that is, the United States) tried to remake it with Ron Eldard and Rob Snyder (how does this guy continuously get work??). As TV censors are more uptight here, it was impossible to replicate the show's madcap, off-color humor, which is what made it work in the first place. (Ditto when High Society - another sitcom that thankfully flopped - tried to mimic Ab Fab.) The part where Gary finds his girlfriend's diaphragm and tries fitting it in his mouth - the way little kids do orange sections - was priceless, and would never make it past censors here, aside from maybe a Saturday Night Live sketch.As a woman, I probably should have been repelled by some of Tony and Gary's antics, but found them oddly endearing and fun to watch. (Of course, if I was dating either one, the story would be different!) The only complaint I have was that the Gary-Dorothy romance wasn't very convincing...but then again, maybe she dated him because "I wanted someone I could feel superior to!" as she herself once said.Gary's dad/officemates are also a hoot...I don't know if it's just because ageing British eccentrics are played for laughs (see The Major on any Fawlty Towers episode) or what.I wish this show would come out on video!!!!!!
