who agrees with this statement. Those three guy were simply the best! Ten brilliant years on the BBC was by far the best comedy of all time.

The best films are made in an intellingent format.

Defently they are the Best :) even alot of shows that time were good too
i got to meet Tim, Graeme & Bill when they came to Melbourne when they did the tour i met them not after the Show but before they signed my dvd covers & The booklet that came with the dvd Tim commented when he saw me wearing the Goodies Yellow T-Shirt of them on the Trandom the one that they wore later on
looked more intesting then there earlier t-shirt in first season

even the opening credits they had a differnt t-shirt again saying The Goodies
which they never wore in the actual show

You are a lucky person to have meet the Goodies. I loved them when I was a kid. I still love them now. I notice from your profile that you like british comedy. I presume you are Australian. It is nice to know that we do produce good shows which are appreicate by our cousins.

The best films are made in an intelligent format.

Yes. I'll go further and say it was the best comedy to hit the big or small screen, ever.

It feels dangerous to point one out as "best of all time", since it depends so much on the point of view and state of mind at the moment. The Goodies is certainly one of the greatest, and with a unique and well-working format. But if you ask me to say which one is best, Goodies, Monty Python, Benny Hill, Fawlty Towers, Mr Bean, Mighty Boosh...

OK, it is the best of that crowd, but I am not sure that it is impossible to find a comparable one, somewhere. But it strikes me as unlikely that any of the newer series has a chance. Why? Not because the comedians are untalented today, but because they have smaller budgets today. Even The Goodies dropped in quality when they had budget cuts, like in the LWT series.

No, I don't agree. Sure, we would've said that when we were kids, but not as adults.
