Bob and Margaret (1993–2001)
A comment from a Yank!
23 June 2001
Well to please Canadian and British reviewers, I will give a fair review. Of course, unlike South Park, this is sophisticated humor, and of course a lot of Americans don't get it. Well, I could explain in a lot of ways why. For one, we don't usually find this type of material funny, we find it insane. Especially for the episode where the kennel owner is afraid of his mum, who his made of straw. I know a lot of "sophisticated" gentlemen reviewing this are saying that it is much better than Southpark, but i think that I, and many other Yanks, have proof that it's not true. For one, Southpark is still on Comedy Central. Two, the characters on South Park have a little more personality. I admit that Bob and Margaret are quite funny in their uptight British way, but come on, compared to Cartman, they are so one dimensional. Then again, who knows, I could be wrong, after all when I was 5 i never said anything like "Mummy can I have some chocolate biscuits?!" Now I will give the UK credit, they somewhat made a Simpsons of their own. But don't get ahead of yourselves now. This is more like a soap opera, than comedy. But if this is adult humor, I guess it's only funny if you're a British adult, because my mom, who is the mother of 5, and and a major in Mathematics, thinks this show is boring.
