I watched MYL on TV on this channel that shows old shows (called HITS), including "Three's Company", "Cheers", "Columbo", and many more.
In the midst of all the different shows it had, there came "Mind Your Language"; when I watched it, I laughed my head off.
The naïveté of the foreigners are to the point where you'll burst yourself laughing at the ways how ridiculous they misunderstand things; in one episode, a character shoplifts an item that says "free offer inside", but thinks it meant that the item itself was free; it's not only just situations, but also words; (after all, they are learning English) for example, it is mentioned in one episode that a character defined the word "polygon" as a "disappearing parrot"; where the word "polygon" itself sounds similarly to "Polly gone", that's what he must've thought.
The characters are also hilarious, especially Juan, Ranjeet and Ali. The beloved Juan Cervantes, known for his quip "¿Por favor?", and his other classic lines. ("One right feet, one left feet!") Above all, MYL is still one of my most favorite sitcoms that still makes me laugh no matter how many times I rewatch it.
