Anyone a Fawlty Towers' fan?

[Random Variable]

They only made 12 episodes, but they never seem to get old. What's your favorite episode? I like the one with Mrs. Richards, the old woman who's hard of hearing who thinks someone has stolen her money.

 

[Ronstang]

I like them all, I have them in the closet somewhere.

 

[Zim Hosein]

I remember watching the entire series on VHS and :heart:'ed it!

 

[GagHalfrunt]

The Germans is the best episode, but they're all good.

 

[mzkhadir]

[rahul]

The one with the American tourist named Harold Robbins.

LOL! I freakin' almost died laughing when he start goosestepping (spelling?), smoked by the moose!

 

[Demo24]

Such a funny episode! Best parts were the front sign that was always rearranged to form some odd phrase. Wish it had made more shows!

 

[AreaCode707]

LOVE IT! I can't pick a favorite episode; they're all awesome.

Maybe it's a girl thing, but I always thought that Fawlty Towers far outweighed Monty Python in comedic value.

I think I'm going to buy the DVD set, just in case some day they stop showing it on PBS.

 

[ethebubbeth]

I'm looking for Casey!
Que? Si?

yes i love it XD

Classic. Wow, I haven't seen that since I was a kid. My dad hated British humor & said it sucked. I always liked it and watched after he fell asleep, same w/ Python.

Although truth be told, back in the day of "broadcast only" television. You didn't have a lot of choices on late night TV. After Carson, it was Benny Hill, Python, Fawlty Towers, then over to the UHF channel for a few Stooges episodes. Then National Anthem and static......

You kids with your cable/satellite/HDTV...WTH would you do back then?

It's a brilliant show. Got the DVD set here, and my favourite is by far the Waldorf Salad episode. My god I laught everytime I see that.

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Definitely a funny show. We bought the DVD set for my dad and watch it every now and then.

 

[Chaotic42]

It's awesome. I need to pick up the DVD set.

 

[FrustratedUser]

Awesome show. Need to get the DVD set.

I completely understand your point of view because I always thought that MP was more of a guy's type of humor also because not many of the women I have known really liked it. They would watch it for me but Fawlty Towers they would watch by themselves.

One of my favorite British Shows is Allo Allo.

 

[dug777]

it's awesome

Monty python is great too, but blackadder is some of my favourite comedy evar

 

[BullsOnParade]

black adder was brilliant, whereas Monty Python took British Classical Lit and made fun of it, black adder took british political history and made it into the comedy it was.

 

[DainBramaged]

I've never heard of it.

 

[hjo3]

I looove Fawlty Towers. Possibly the best British comedy ever.

This man speaks the truth.

"You started it!"

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did, you invaded Poland!"

 

[Mucho]

I've seen every episode at least 10 times. My favorite one might be The Germans, where Basil said "you started it you invaded Poland"
