5.0 out of 5 stars More perfect silliness from P. G. Wodehouse, December 17, 2001

This review is from: Jeeves & Wooster - The Complete Third Season (DVD)

I admit it, I'm a P. G. Wodehouse addict. I've read most of the ninety-some books he wrote and seen several of the Jeeves and Wooster adaptations. Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry are, without question, the best of the lot.

One of the most difficult things about the series is to make Bertie believable without making him a total idiot. David Niven tried and failed dismally. Hugh Laurie, on the other hand, has found exactly the right tone as the ever cheerfully optimistic if somewhat dim-witted man-about-town. And his rendition of Bertie's singing "Something something something, something something something something, and so on," is pitch-perfect. Stephen Fry, as Jeeves, is equally perfect. He has managed to make Jeeves brilliantly superior without condescension. Between them they have created an affection between the two characters that is believable, touching, and richly comic.

Wodehouse is a rare treat, at once escapist, funny, and sharply satirical. Bertie is the 20s equivalent of today's valley girl and is as fresh and modern a comic portrait as the characters on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I like to think that Wodehouse chuckles in his grave as Giles tells Xander: "I suppose there's a certain Machiavellian ingenuity to your transgression," to which Xander replies: "I resent that...... Or possibly, thank you." Giles, we can assume, would be Jeeves. For those who want to go back to the source, you can't do better than Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could have been better, January 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: More Jeeves & Wooster [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Entertaining continuation of the earlier series, although not nearly as faithful to the original writing as the earlier productions. Director Ferdinand Fairfax has a much less appealing (and, I think, a much less valid) interpretation of P.G. Wodehouse than did either Robert Young or Simon Langston. If you see the 1990 or 1991 episodes first, you may be a bit disappointed in these by comparison, but they are still well worth viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Jeeves & Wooster is always a good thing, February 24, 1999

I agree with Hillsborough, NC. This series isn't quite as good as the ones Simon Langton directed. But Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry are impeccable. Their exploits in New York are not as delightful as those back in England - for an American audience, that is. But for sheer delight in late night watching - any Jeeves & Wooster will do.
