Friday night dinner, with The Goodmans, a regular family of four, who seem to attract trouble, and people who are.......let's say larger than life.
I was way too late to the party, bit once I discovered it, I couldn't switch it off. Comedy of the highest order, even though the show follows a similar routine and formula, the comedy does not, the writing is so incredibly good, that it switches up.
The four main characters are outstanding, and the source of moat of the laughs, the boys squabbling and fighting is always the best aspect for me. Jim is wonderfully crazy, Grandma is sweet, horrible Grandma is a scream.
It's hugely consistent from start to finish, if I had to pick a favourite series, it would have to be the first one, each episode is a classic.
The most surprising episode comes in Series Five, Wilson, which is a total change in pace, and very moving.
Please don't let it end at series six, there is definitely more running in the legs here, we need more.
Classic comedy, 9/10.
