5.0 out of 5 stars hilarious, August 24, 2010
By 
This review is from: Jeeves And Wooster Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
well acted, well written, absolutely hilarious. "Bernie Wooster's" face when he has his hangover is a classic. "Jeeves" calm, reasoned approach is equally good. Entire ensemble are excellent actors. We loved it. The entire first season is terrific. Goes slightly downhill after the first season, but still worth watching to see the antics the 2 are up to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious Silliness, December 5, 2011
This review is from: Jeeves And Wooster Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
Long before House and Bones, these two talented actors displayed here their inner silliness, not to mention Laurie's musical talent. These episodes are just as fun today as they were decade or two ago.
Delight yourself; give Bertie and Jeeves a go. (And if you don't quite find Jeeves ready intelligence creditable, catch Fry's occasional game show appearances on BBC radio displaying a very dry and nimble wit indeed.)
