Whilst getting you the hyperlink for Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em, I ended up commenting on the show. Sometimes I can't stop myself from venting. I'm working on it, but so far I'm still venting.

Here's the comment I left:

I know I'm in the minority, but even as a small child growing up in Britain in the 1970's, I loathed Some Mothers Do Have 'Em.

I like a broad range of comedy, heck I even write comedy, but SMDHE is one of those TV comedies that whilst popular with the masses, I find totally unfunny and predictable. 'Allo 'Allo is another example of a show that managed to be popular despite it's incredibly weak , low-grade and predictable writing.

I hated the character of Frank Spencer. His accident-prone nature wasn't that annoying. It wasn't that funny either. But what bugged me was the almost mentally retarded personality. That plus his voice. Boy was that like fingernails dragged down a blackboard.

And then there were the years following the run of Some Mothers, where we were subjected to God-awful Frank Spencer impressions by anyone who was capable of uttering the words, "ooooh Betty". Lord save us from people who think they're funny doing that.

Give me Monty Python, Blackadder, Father Ted or The Office any day over this very cringe-worthy show.
