This show is one of my favorite comedies. When I was a kid, I saw a few episodes from each season on TV, but I never had a chance to see the whole series. In the light of Mr. Mayall's passing, I've decided to watch a few shows in which he starred, to honor his life and work. Up until today I've seen "Bottom", "The New Statesman", "The Young Ones" and "Filthy Rich & Catflap".Last week, I watched "Bottom" from start to finish and I absolutely loved it, that was such a treat. Although some people on IMDb's message board complain that the third series was cartoonish, I don't mind that, to me it's equally good as the first two seasons. My favorite episodes are "Apocalypse", "Holy" and "Finger". But the other episodes are not far behind those three. A lot of times the sequence of events was so silly and surreal that it made me think: 'Oh no, they're not gonna go that far' and they always did. The violent slapstick is marvelously executed and so are the duologue's between Eddie and Richard. Supporting characters, especially Dave Hedgehog and Spud Gun are also charming. I was glad to see Helen Lederer as a guest star, whenever I see her on screen I remember Catriona from Ab Fab. All in all, this is a great show.I give it a 10/10

I couldn't possibly guess how many times I have watched every episode of Bottom - suffice to say it is lots! For the last decade or so these glowing comedy episodes have remained among the very best that British comedy has to offer. Few, if any, sitcoms have come close to matching Rik and Ade's insane slapstick violence or the tasteless futility of the characters' lives. Mayall plays a sad, lonely man desperate for a girlfriend with an ingenious sense of self delusion, and Edmondson's unemployable alcoholic wretch supplies laughs by the truckload. Every episode is comedy gold, finely crafted and consistent. Long may Bottom reign!

What else more could you want? Ric and Ade from the young ones together again as the lovable characters Richard Richard and Eddie Hitler.Bottom takes some of the slapstick violent humor from the young ones and the Dangerous brothers and integrates it with some mental instability,poor hygiene habits,alcohol and more violence and fighting.Both character are lovable in there own way and there is always a laugh around the corner, some episodes feature former young one Christopher Ryan (mike the cool person) as Dave hedgehog and the famous 'spudd gun'I have all the DVD collection of bottom. I cannot say anything else but buy or rent them Thats if you one for funny crazy British humor

I know you cannot beat funny shows like Only Fools & Horses, Steptoe & Son, Dads Army & Black Adder, but if you watch this would be the funniest half hour. There is violence but that is fake, & it is funny. Some episodes you might not be keen. Sad when it ended but there as been a rumour, not sure if true or not could be wrong but they might bring another tour of 2008. but if want to watch this watch Guest House Paradiso.but Watch the Bottom Lives as they are the most funniest.
