ok let me ask yall a question: in a world where you can watch pretty much any show ever created by pressing a few keys, why should people watch this?

because, i gotta tell you, show sounds boring and obnoxious (almost as boring and obnoxious as me and etc.)

bullet point it for me

goons really really dislike things that dont attempt to pander to them

i like to watch hella dumb formulaic sitcoms after doing stuff all day, especially when i'm midly intoxicated and posting on the internet. it's very low-effort but still amusing. also im a sucker for slapstick

The dads army thread will have Americans serious posting and realtalk-ing about how superior and well trained their defence forces were compared to Captain Mainwaring and the lads, they'll completely miss the point but will also claim that its a far too simple a show lol.

The show is one of the great character performances in tv history. It doesn't matter that the episodes are all the same because every excruciating second with hyacinth is a delight.

Yea keeping up appearances is pretty much a show about schadenfreude. Main character is a huge bitch who is tolerated but reviled by the likeable supporting cast, her arrogance and social striving put her in some wacky situation where she inevitably gets owned in some way and all her 'friends' laugh at her.

It's a funny show.

Roseanne is still in pretty rare company for actually putting poor people on TV. Not like living in a penthouse on a waitress' salary. They were loving broke most of the time and acted like it. You gotta give 'em credit for that.

I'm OK, you're so-so
My dad once tried to tell/explain/re-enact a super hilarious Keeping Up Appearances joke where Onslow drinks a beer and then asks Daisy "Any more breakfast?" to an old couple we met on holiday somewhere for some reason, and they weren't really listening to him because he told it pretty badly and they just faked laughter at the wrong points. "In that show Keeping Up Appearances, Onslow asked for more breakfast." "HA HA HA HA." "...and his breakfast was a beer."

Anyway that's my Keeping Up Appearances story, thanks for letting me share it itt
