Customer Reviews of Father Ted - The Holy Trilogy
Hilarious, if a bit in poor taste I have loved Father Ted since I was introduced to it on BBC America. The comedy is distinctly British, or what I think of as British, and its blend of dry wit and slapstick truly keeps you laughing. You can't help but sympathize with Father Ted's plight. That being said, this is not for the Catholic viewer that can't laugh about the historical and current problems within the church. I am Catholic, and sometimes I cringe at the jokes, but overall, it's a good natured ribbing at our all too public problems. The bottom line is, I find myself laughing, but sometimes feeling a bit guilty after watching the show. The characters are very well developed, and their actions are always in line with their personalities, something I find lacking in most of today's American "sit coms." If you're a fan of Monte Python and have the stomach for religious jokes, this is an excellent series.
BBC sitcom Father Ted
The three season series of Father Ted is quite funny and does for any small religious parrish what Fawlty Towers did for the private inn keepers. A very rare treat.
Why isn't this on in the US?
There is just something about the "Father Ted" brand of humor that will just have you rolling on the floor. Maybe it's the consent jabs at the Catholic religion or the dim wit of Father Dougal, but whatever it may be this is one of the best comedies I've seen in the last few years hands down. If you only watch one episode of this series it must be the one in which Father Dougal becomes a milkman. Father Ted outs the islands original milkman for being a ladies man when there is a baby boom of babies looking exactly like the "Chewbacca" looking fellow. The milkman seeks revenge in the form of placing a bomb on Dougal's milk truck a la "Speed" and the truck must stay above 4 miles per hour. Yet, the saddest thing about this series is that Dermot Morgan, the actor who played Ted, actually died of a heart attack just as the third series was wrapped. I don't think another actor could play this part as well as he did.
