 |  | A true gem for fans of Hugh Laurie |  |
I am a long time fan of Hugh Laurie, and in my endeavors to try and collect everything I can possibly find that he's been in, I stumbled across this 2 DVD set. I am so happy I bought it! It is absolutely brilliant; Hugh's character, Paul, is somewhat of a cross between House and Wooster. I simply adore this show; the first episode in particular is truly hilarious: one of the many high points is when two of Paul's adult sons are fighting over a girl and Paul orders them to go to their rooms. Sex is a major theme throughout the series; one of the running jokes is that Paul can't remember the last time he and his wife have made love while his sons spend most of their time fighting over a pair of sisters. In spite of the sexual elements, I found the show to be refreshingly tasteful, especially compared to the majority of American shows. Further more, its obvious, at least in my opinion, that in spite of their problems, Paul and his wife were still quite devoted to one another. I'm sorry to say that I'm probably not explaining this show very well, but I can assure you that this is one of the best dvd purchases I've made in a very long time. If you like Hugh Laurie even a little, this is a must own.
June 18, 2008A good example of when a fine cast gets lost in the tedium brought on by stupid plots and teen sex humor. Can't anyone come up with a better idea for a show other than the father wishing he had sex like his teenage sons? What a bore. Very disappointing.
June 13, 2008So excited to find this earlier series from Hugh Laurie. Just a really fun show to watch. Anna Chancellor is really nice and I was so excited to see Stephen Fry. This is certainly worth buying!
April 18, 2008Seriously. It's a very funny show. All this man can think about is the burning in his loins which makes for great comedy. The kids are funny too. I'd recommend this one for purchase.

I'm a huge fan of House & of course, Hugh Laurie. I was so happy to come across this pre-House British series. It was a great find & truly showcases Hugh's hilarity!
