Product Description
From Amazon.com
The pageant of boorishness and slobbery known as Men Behaving Badly launched itself upon an unsuspecting United Kingdom in 1992. Over the course of six episodes, Gary (Martin Clunes), the disgruntled manager of a security alarm company, struggles to break up with his long-suffering girlfriend Dorothy (Caroline Quentin) while competing with his aimless flatmate Dermot (Harry Enfield) for the attentions of their fetching new upstairs neighbor Deborah (Leslie Ash). The plots are built on contrivances like a chess match over opera tickets or an attempt at seduction via a synthesized flamenco guitar, but the humor always springs from the petty, careless, and generally inane behavior of Dermot and Gary. Gary persuades Dorothy to accept an open relationship, then becomes consumed with jealousy when she sees another man; Dermot tries to persuade Deborah to relieve their basic needs while her boyfriend is in Singapore. It could be tiresome squalor--and according to reviews, the American remake of the show (featuring Rob Schneider and Ron Eldard) was just that--but Clunes and Enfield invest this pair of clods with enough humanity to make their mishaps both excruciating and funny. Enfield left after this first sextet of episodes; Clunes and Enfield's replacement Neil Morrissey took the show to five more series, but Enfield's charming dimness makes this first series worth a look. --Bret Fetzer

Anohter Overlooked Gem of a Series,
By Kilgore "wonderman1" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: British Men Behaving Badly [Region 2] (DVD)
If you like British humour you really need to give this one a go. It is about a couple of guys sharing a flat and being guys. In other words drinking too much, trying ineptly to get off with women, talking bullocks and generally never growing up. Oh yes it is also about the relationship between Gary and Dorothy who stay together because....well it's hard to say really. I'm a big fan of Python, Black Adder, Red Dwarf and Bottom. If you're like me (deranged) then you'll probably love this series.

The Weakest Series,
By Stephen Traylen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Men Behaving Badly - Season 1 (British TV Series) (DVD)
Harry Enfield doesn't really click in this. ITV made the right choice in essentially rebooting the show with Neil Morrissey. It's still pretty funny though but really you are better off starting with series 2.

Funny, off beat British humor,
By C. Jones "bascelflt" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Men Behaving Badly - Season 1 (British TV Series) (DVD)
I like Martin Clunes so ordered this to see him in his younger days before "William and Mary" and "Doc Martin".It is funny offbeat British humor and worth watching for a laugh. I probably will only watch it this one time then donate the season to the library. |
