Understandable this clunky British1930s era comedy isn’t for everyone…but isn’t that a shame? You really don’t know what you’re missing, then again, if you don’t know, you’re probably not missing it and are ok with that. Jeeves and Wooster is a lenient, laconic, laughable dance. Hugh Laurieand Stephen Fry onscreen are pure magic. Their chemistry is flawless.
Jeeves and Wooster are like: Pasta and sauce. Cake and ice cream. Oil and vinegar. Tomato soup and grilled cheese. Hot chocolate and whipped cream. Chips and salsa. Cabbage and tomato. Peanut butter and banana. Peanut Butter and jam. Peanut butter and bacon. They’re peanut butter and chocolate.
Oops, I’ve gone off on a peanut butter tangent. But you get the point. Things that could be great separately, but are superb together. Hugh Laurieand Stephen Fry are fantastic on their own, but together, they’re a magnificent treat that’s timeless.
Hugh Laurieplays Bertie Wooster, an upper class British twit who gets himself in one scrape after another. He’s not a bad guy, he’s just kind of oblivious. Stephen Fry plays his long-suffering pragmatic, perfect, and always prepared valet who keeps Wooster’s escapades in check, or at least, he tries. The P.G. Wodehousebooks these were adapted from are worth a read as well.
JEEVES AND WOOSTER
Sounds like a great movie. 1930s is a great comedy for people like myself. I say this about
many things, but I’ll try to watch it when it comes on….
I adore Jeeves and Wooster, the books and the show!
I like the show a bit better than the books, maybe because of the cast. 🙂
My BFF introduced this show to me 🙂
A good friend indeed. 🙂

I enjoyed this show…not much of it exists, but I enjoyed it on DVD.
Yes, I always wish there was a little bit more. 🙂
