The Young Ones

Ok, so I have seen this show. Every episode about a thousand times, but I still wanted to write about it because it is the best t.v. show to have ever come on the idiot box. The show only lasted one season but not because it wasn't any good.

With an all star cast, well at least probably in England; Adrien Edmondson plays Vyvyan, an out of control punk with spikes on his head, who like to break everything in his path, Rik Mayall plays Rick, a political and want to be rebel(you might have seen Rik in Drop Dead Fred), Nigel Planer plays Neil, a suicidal hippie who takes all of the crap from the other guys(might have seen him on Yellowbeard), and Christopher Ryan who plays Mike, a pimped out version of Kevin from The Wonder Years. All four guys are college students living together and doing what college kids do, nothing really.

All of the episodes are mixed with music(bands like Motorhead come from nowhere) and puppetry(Vyvyan's hampsters) to give a hilarious show. It is filmed in front of a live studio audience and it kind of has a theater feel to it. The jokes are somewhat hard to understand sometimes but witty.

If you love British comedies then you have to see this show.
