It has a slightly dated element to it - but is still wonderful. :D

|
but he did do it so marvellously well.

| 4. I gathered he recently married his partner... |

http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/john%20inman%20weds%20loverMaybe AYBS turned him gay. :eyes: Inman's a hoot as Mr Humphries. The whole show itself is marvellously well written. A bit naughty, and a bit dated in ways, but the jokes haven't dated.

you couldn't write a stereotype like that into a TV programme today.

| 3. Love Mr. Humphries, can't stand ANYTHING else about it. |
|
IMO, they should have dumped the entire cast and built a new show around Mr. Humphries. As it stands, it's corny and dated and unfunny as all hell, especially when they all make their requisite once-a-show appearance in "funny" costumes or break into a musical number.
And then Mr. Humphries makes a comment and all is well.

| 5. The 'funny' costumes and gags were good. The musicals were iffy. |
|
"Up Captain Peacock"'s gag has got to be the best...

| 8. I watched it in high school |
|
I thought that it was really funny. I wished that they would make American shows that funny.

| 9. Only one show comes close... |
|
"Three's Company". And even then, censors were having heart attacks and strokes over it. :eyes:
America is so timid on these things. Maybe that's why we have the problems the UK doesn't. Or doesn't have nearly so significantly.

| 12. Please, someone from the UK, tell me |
|
that it was hated there too! It's the Britcom that made me stop enjoying Britcoms (OK, OK, I have a soft spot for "To the Manor Born", but still...)
