A Bit of Fry and Laurie Season 4, Sep 11 2007

What can I say - I'm a fan. I can't get enough of these guys, but I didn't know there was a fourth season until it was released Stateside. Needless to say, I ordered it immediately, and I wasn't disappointed. As in the other series, their sketches range from cutting satire and social commentary to just plain silliness, and they very rarely miss the mark. An additional nicety is the obvious effort they put into introducing novel elements to each new season, bringing some surprising twists and turns for the veteran viewer.

would have been better without the guests, Aug 1 2007

Maybe it would have helped if I were British too, but I did not recognize a number of the guests they had on this season, and the guests were not all that interesting, though I did like Phyllida Law and Imelda Staunton.
The sketches are mostly successful, though a few go on too long. Hugh performs some excellent songs in this season, while Fry continues to amaze with his command of language and rapid delivery.
So, overall, not as good as the first 3 seasons but still worth viewing. The Mr. Burmie vet's office sketch is particularly hilarious.

Guests do not get in the way, Dec 2 2009

Laugh-In, SNL, BBC mysteries -- Fans of all will enjoy "A Bit of Fry & Laurie" Series Four. Guest stars visiting during this, the final Series (a/k/a season), are familiar to viewers who watch "Hamish Macbeth" and "Blue Murder" and "Waiting for God" and indirectly for viewers of "Keeping Up Appearances" plus "Three Portraits (by Alan Bennett)." This is in addition to all the folks who are happy to see more of a "non-House" Hugh Laurie. I'll have to look up some of the `other' things that Mr. Fry has been doing. Fry and Laurie can't just do duets, some of the skits need added players, so why not enjoy the guests too.
