The Old Guys With Clive Swift

[tmmy773]

The last really good US sitcom was Seinfeld...the BBC was always good but its hard to see it and when you catch an episode its older...which is a good thing bc of excessive pc.

[2609indigo]

great , the best episode, i'm crying because i laughed sooo hard

[jdcan005]

the show left us way too early

[CoachCaputa]

As I get older I am beginning to realize the BBC shows are better written and funnier than what is passing as humor on US TV. As Time Goes By and Old Guys are great examples.

[irishcrusader99]

@CoachCaputa I think British Comedy is declining as years go on. I'm not a racist but i think political correctness has gone too far. The comedy we got from love thy neighbour will never be generated. The only decent comedy ive seen in the past few years would be Mrs Browns Boys

[TheCharky78]

@CoachCaputa

Are you serious? BBC TV shows are very good but they can't hold a candle to the US shows. "Two and a Half Men", " Big Bang Theory" just to mention two....let's not forget Archie Bunker from "All in the Family"....

"Law and Order", 'Modern Family". There are too too many to mention. Nothing like the United States!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pookatube]

I started to see this a few weeks ago on New Jersey Network.

There needs to be an American version of this show!!!

[rtt470]

@Pookatube why, for the love of God, would you want an American version? So it could be ruined?

[chumshot1]

@rtt470 LOL Yes it's true, our American versions fail horribly--but imitation only means we think the idea is great :D

[Dutchy1965]

One of the best tv shows ever !!! Bring it back,

[pianoman1065]

This is hilarious! I was a fan of Clive Swifts due to Keeping Up Appearances, but this is great stuff!!! These 2 'old guys' were cast perfectly for each other.

[thecritic2007]

still game is a hellof a lot better

[Pighood]

Love those guys.

[420microscan]

I wonder if someone here knows where I can find a song that both of them (Roger and Clive) sing together, that has no words but just sounds like "ta ra ta ta ta ta" and is surely from this series, because I've heard it in a promo of this show. Please, I would be very grateful if someone here could help me find it. Thnx.

[WaltWalt420]

This is not funny, and no amount of canned laughter after each sentence will convince me otherwise

[TheJediCharles]

@WaltWalt420

No amount of canned whining will convince me that you're a good unit of measure on what's funny.

[WaltWalt420]

@TheJediCharles You know what, you're right, as soon as you created that hilarious idiom about 'canned whining' I realised that no, in fact this isn't the same contrived piece of shit that the BBC will throw at us until we all nod in unison and rot infront of our telivision, no, you were right, this is a picture perfect sitcom that has amazing underlying messages about race, culture and politics, how peculiar of me to have a perfectly valid opinion with valid rationale for saying it

[TheJediCharles]

@WaltWalt420

...or you could just provide for us an example of what IS funny a funny TV show, to give your perfectly valid opinion a bit of perspective instead of remain the empty drive-by pap it is now?

[TheJediCharles]

@WaltWalt420

...I figured as much.

[WaltWalt420]

@TheJediCharles

You figured what? that I wouldn't answer you because I don't spend every waking hour on youtube? pfft. I'll still give you an answer to your previous enquiry regardless of your impatience, Try such programmes as 'How not to live your life' 'Peep Show' or if you'd prefer to go back, the Black Adder series, or 'Spitting Image'

Y'know, intelligent, original, thought driven programmes, instead of run of the mill drivel like this.

[TheJediCharles]

@WaltWalt420

I never accused you of being available every waking hour on YouTube. I took the moment to see in your recent activity that you had visited since my request that you provide an example, which indicates you blew me off.

[TheJediCharles]

@WaltWalt420

That aside, I haven’t seen any of your examples except Black Adder, and I agree, that is very funny, an all-round superior program that is obviously directed at a more specific demographic than this show. Simpler humor need not equal stupider humor. It’s a light popcorn show. Some parts are hilarious. “He’s two men, Roy. I can’t compete with two men. I’ve lost her.” “You can’t loose something that was never yours. You can’t loose my hair.” That’s funny stuff.

[WaltWalt420]

@TheJediCharles

We'll have to agree to disagree on this, I just find the programme to monotonous for my taste, as though the BBC just had a half hour to spare in the 7:30 slot and decided to throw this in due to lack of better alternatives

[csrogc63]

@WaltWalt420 WHY are you here? To insult the show?

[ennayelsel]

This is terrible, a poor copy of Still Game

[truediva18]

PBS is starting to show it on Saturdays around 7pm CST

[chumshot1]

@truediva18 lol I THINK IT'S FUNNY. Anyway, yea it's on my PBS at 8:30 XD

[JuanMacready]

It's not funny at all. People only watch it because it has Trigger.

[TheDunHorse]

@JuanMacready ha, my dad only watches it cause of Jane Asher. LOL.

[OghamTheBold]

If everything goes well for the next 25 years - my pension would pay for one bottle of £1.29 Lambruno - every day

[AffordableFireworks]

By far the very best new show on television. I look forward to it every week!!!

[eyreland]

The show is now in Season 2.

[AliciaMooVProducts]

Clive Swift doesn't age!!? Thanks for this

[jobber25v]

triggerr lol

[TheVintageZone]

I watch the show on PBS.....It is one of the funnest things I have seen on TV in years! My daughter and I were crying we were laughing so hard....they are so endearing! Classic is RIGHT! I hope we have years to some with them.... : )

[Hexogenik]

It is not funny, though the song at the beginning by the great Ivor Cutler is.

[Cptahabify]

This is good.Hard to believe Tom plays Barty Crouch in Harry Potter.

[Cptahabify]

@Cptahabify I know. You would never think thats Barty Crouch.

[jami82005]

its total crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jsrosa1282]

That's Richard from Keeping Up Appearances

[thisandthat1000]

this programme is a classic in the making, I was hooked from the start

[StoliDassah]

me too...they just aired it on my local PBS. Clive and Roger are awesome!

[CallingAllStations12]

I WANT THE OLD GUYS TO COME BACK OOOONN!!!! I loved the series!!

[stephanesonneville]

[fashontana]
