It takes a lot to make me laugh. And very few sitcoms make me laugh, especially the dribble that still comes with a laugh track and usually airs on CBS. I would rather watch corn grow than watch "Two and a Half Men," or shall I say, "Two and a Half Miscarriages." But the British classic, Fawlty Towers still stands the test of time and makes me cackle like a Cornish hen. Thus I jumped and squealed like a 12 year old nelly boy watching figure skating when I found that Fawlty Towers, named the #1 television series of all time by the British Film Institute, is celebrating it's 30th birthday, (just like I will soon) by releasing the deluxe, special edition DVD box set – Fawlty Towers Remastered. This crack-rock in a box will deliver fresh bonus material including newly recorded commentary from Cleese, all-new cast interviews, and much more.
Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) is a much put-upon, hardworking hotel manager whose life is plagued by dead guests, hotel inspectors and other assorted riff-raff. Of course his biggest headache is his “little nest of vipers,” his nagging wife Sibyl, the unflappable Polly and the trainee waiter from Barcelona, Manuel, who has marginally more intelligence than a monkey.
More fun than a real housewife of (fill in the blank) dying.... is the facebook lookalike contest! You can go ahead and enter, but I'm pretty sure I'm already going to win, so back off bitches.
Skip first,then trot to your interweb computer machine so you can buy this master of laughter: BBCShopAmerica
After you do some handstands and somersaults, you'll want to finish watching the whole box set. Me likey.
