[QUOTE="Viking Bastard, post: 757215, member: 509"] I just finished watching [i]The Complete Run of the 'Thin Blue Line'[/i] on DVD (two series, fourteen episodes all in all). [url]http://us.imdb.com/Title?0112194[/url] Written by Ben Elton (The Young Ones) and starring Rowan Atkinsson it got 2/3 of the genius that gave us 'Blackadder' and 'Mr. Bean'. Still, that last third was obviously missing as the only thing keeping the first series from a waste of my time was Rowan Atkinsson, who dominates the screen and steals every moment. Ok, I'm being a bit harsh, but I expected better from so clever minds. But I'm very glad I kept on watching because the second series is absolutely hillarious. The other characters that were only fodder for Atkinsson's comments and sexual innuendo are given bigger parts which in return strengthened Atkinsson's role. I especially enjoyed the character of Inspector Grim. So, all in all: Thumbs up! [IMG]http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/images/icons/icon14.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/images/icons/icon14.gif[/IMG] . Oh and I also saw the original 1950 version of '[i]Father of the Bride[/i]'. Very funny despite it's age (comedies have a tendancy to age the worst, well, and teen flicks). Stacey Keach is great as Stanley Banks and it's always fun to see a young, firm, non-drunk Liz Taylor. Still, liked the Steve Martin version better, but that's of course the one I grew up with (plus being a big Steve Martin fan). [/QUOTE]
