Question for BritCom Fans

The complete collection of "Bottom" has just come out on DVD here in the states. What's your take on the show? I'm a big Young Ones fan, but I've only seen one episode of "Bottom". Will I enjoy the show?

1. It's ok I suppose

but nothing like as good as the young ones, I guess it's all about personal preference.

7. Nope...I'll check it out

Bottom may be old, but it never was played in Indianapolis, as far as I know. And they took it off of BBCA the same week our cable company picked up the channel. So as the tv ad goes, "It's new to me".

8. Love it!

Fantastic stuff. The episode where Eddie & Richie go to a dating agency is my own favourite.

I can also highly reccomend the Bottom live video's. Not so sure about "Guest House Paradiso" though.
