Comedy Reviews

  • How Not To Live Your Life: Series 3 Episode 1

    Starting a new series with a double bill is never a positive sign.

     
  • Family Guy: Season 8 Episode 1

    Women don’t seem to get Family Guy, which isn’t that surprising given the puerile humour, cartoon nudity and random violence that characterise most episodes.

     
  • Getting On: Series 2 Episode 1

    This BBC Two comedy series, co-written by former nurse Jo Brand, is jet black satire that will probably be too much for some tastes.

     
  • Modern Family: Season 2 Episode 1

    There's simply not enough praise that can be given to Modern Family. A comedy with a large cast, and yet no weak links or forgettable characters, is one to be applauded.

     
  • PhoneShop: Episode 1

    A self-proclaimed success story from Channel 4’s 2009 Comedy Showcase, PhoneShop commences its first full series this week.

     
  • Whites: Series 1 Episode 1

    First episodes are tricky beasts, especially so for comedies. You have to introduce the characters, introduce the situation and make people laugh.

     
  • Harry And Paul: Series 3 Episode 1

    Sooner or later, something had to mark the death of sketch comedy - or at least the beginning of the end.

     
  • The Inbetweeners: Series 3 Episode 1

    E4's 'other' homegrown teen show is back for a third series, the point at which many comedies lose steam or go stale, but it's as affable and boisterous as ever.

     
  • Him And Her: Episode 1

    Stefan Golaszewski's Him And Her is BBC Three's latest experiment in light-hearted comedy naturalism.

     
  • Roger And Val Have Just Got In: Episode 1

    We have a new Dawn French sitcom on the air, and your reaction to that sentence will depend largely on how funny you’ve found her in the past ten years.
