Mid '70's this was exceptional comedy, as was Chaplin in the '20's....but it dates and other forms of comedy supersede it.
It is still funny, but there are so many better comedies available now that you have to be somewhat desperate to watch it again.

It is an easy to understand form of comedy, somewhat akin to Fawlty Towers and the ilk!
Nothing in this show is going to task your brain, it is in-your-face type humor that will either bore you or make you laugh.
All the characters have their traits, and they play them out in each episode, it becomes very predictable, but still somewhat enjoyable.

It isn't the funniest, most clever, most intelligent, or greatest comedy the BBC have ever come up with.....but, it is entertaining and worth your time.
In places it is touching, it is funny several times per episode. It is a little quirky, a little different, somewhat original. It won't offend anyone.....totally safe humor.
Great comedies have to take risks, this one plays it safe. However, I watched all the episodes and considered it time well spent and enjoyed.....which is more than I can say for 90% of the nonsense now produced!
