[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 78696, member: 23"] It seems [I]The Young Ones [/I]really was a series of two halves. I didn't care for the first at all, but the second continued to be very enjoyable and even rather blooming brilliant. The quirkiness and adventurous themes such as time travel reminded me of some great animated shows like [I]Futurama[/I] that would come years later. This is not a show that can be watched while eating. Not unless you have a stronger stomach than mine for all things snotty. Thankfully, the episode title of [I]Sick[/I] was a bit of a red flag that it would lean towards the gross out. I'm so glad I delayed eating my Rachel's Gooseberry yogurt as I don't think I would have enjoyed it at all during the show. For a twelve episode show this has really made a lasting impression on the sitcom landscape. I'm glad they opted for [I]Fawlty Towers [/I]type restraint in the output. I'd just watched enough to find the series endearing and to get it and it's ended. So I'm wanting more which leaves me open to rewatching at some point. As it is there's a whole disc of bonus material which I'm now feeling the urge to have a peek at. [/QUOTE]
