Fawlty Towers

Postby Azier the Swordsman » Fri Aug 29, 2008 11:18 am

My friend loaned me this series on DVD. It is by far one of the funniest sitcoms I've ever seen in my life. (It tops The Office for me :wow!:)

It stars John Cleese as a rude hotel owner as the hotel goes through every possible mishap in the book.

All the episodes are avaliable on YouTube, there are only twelve of them, but they are well worth it.

Any other Fawlty Towers fans here?

What is the power of the weak and the weakness of power?

What would the butterfly effects be with an OC with no chakra or ninja inclinations but a coveted special sensing ability? But that's not her only closely guarded secret. Psst, don't tell the hyper blond boy she hates ramen.

You'll have to forgive him, he's from Barcelona. In Spain.

I love this show. It's a shame it's so short, though. :/

If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

Actually I think that's one thing British comedies do right. They write only 6 episodes per season and this allows for tighter writing and overall better quality. They don't drag things out like a lot of American series do.

Fawlty Towers is brilliant stuff. Have you only just discovered them?
Wow!
