    I Remember When I Was 12 I Discovered This Little UK TV Show, I Decided To Give It A Go, I Loved It And From Then On I Watched The Show As Often As I Could - At That Point It Was My Favorite Show - At The Time I Was Very Into 70's British Comedy Like This Despite Me Not Being Alive To Watch It When It Was Broadcasted.I Thought It Was Pretty Funny But Then Again A Lesser Quantity Made Me Ignore It Until Last Year When For Good Friday The Comedy Channel Aired A Goody Marathon, I Seized The Opportunity To Tape As Many Episodes As I Could.It Isn't Nearly As Good As What I Remember But It Is Still Good. I Watch As Many Episodes As I Feel Like But Over Time It Does Get A Bit Repetitive. As For A Favorite Episode I Would Have To Say "Gender Education" It Is A Hilarious Episode, Especially The Short Film The Goodies Make About Sex Making It As Clean And Censored For All Kids As Possible.Overall I Do Hold Some Personal Favoritism To This Show But It Is A Very Good Show And I Hope You Enjoy It, If You Don't Well Its All Opinion.

    The Goodies and Monty Python both came out of the radio programme "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again". Python was surreal and got well known for it. "The Goodies" was more consistently surreal and obviously missed the boat because of it. Personally I think "The Goodies" was more consistently funny than Python and, for the most part, as surreal (the chase at the end of "Saturday Night Grease" should be enough to confirm that!) or more so. I just wish that they were as popular so that more programmes were available on DVD! The "card" game in "The Bun Fight At The OK Tea Rooms" is enough to make people agree with that!

    One of the funniest UK comedy shows. The episode "Bunfight at the OK Tearooms" features the best western saloon bar poker game scene ever filmed (using toast for cards and biscuits as chips then pies and cakes and finally a three-tier wedding cake as the stakes got higher). The poker game is played entirely to piano music with no dialogue. The celebrity safari park one was great too. Especially when they released Tony Blackburn back into the wild and someone shot him. The show was derived from the radio show I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again which was also part of Monty Python's ancestry featuring John Cleese in the cast and Eric Idle and Graham Chapman among the writers.

    This is one of my favourite TV shows, it's so funny! OK, occasionally they may have had a dud episode, like the one with them dressed as toothpaste tubes and bouncing around the world for charity, but most episodes are absolutely hilarious, like 'The End' or 'Earthanasia'. Graeme Garden, Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor are funny and if you can get a chance to watch the show, don't miss it.
