[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 439347, member: 23"] This is very true. Still, though, it's nice to see you already revisiting episodes that aren't as familiar, and even ones you didn't initially enjoy, which might seem like more work than revisiting an episode you know you'll love. The guest residents help give each episode a distinct tone, I think, but even without accounting for that I'd say it's still true that the focus does shift with each episode. I'm always glad of a little hype. That sounds very unusual for American TV where some sitcoms seem to be written by a committee. Do you feel this helped with continuity and consistency when it came to the way the characters behaved and details such as their likes/dislikes? The longest running sitcom, [I]Last Of The Summer Wine[/I], had just one writer for all of its 295 episodes, but that was stretched over almost 38 years, and it wasn't as densely scripted as [I]Fawlty[/I].
