The quality of this programme is`nt surprising., 12 November 2002
Author: KEITH-LANCASTER from St. Catharines, Canada.

Just recently started to watch the reruns of this show and I am wondering how I could have missed the initial airing of it. This is an excellent comedy series which doesn't rely on sexually connotated trash. Sick of the current comedic filth?, then you`ll enjoy this laugh a minute offering, the characters are superbly portrayed and the plots always hilarious.
