Hilarity Ensues for John Cleese in Fawlty Towers - The Complete Set

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2009
The Bottom Line: Fawlty Towers is one of the funniest shows ever made.  Fawlty Towers - The Complete Set is definitely worth owning.
Review: Many years ago, I first came across the British series Fawlty Towers on PBS.  I enjoyed the episodes I saw and would watch them when I managed to find one on.  It has been many years since I last found one on television.  I discovered that the...

Fawlty Towers: Britcom Blitz..

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: The best set of short British farces ever produced. Infinitely re-watchable. A must for any lover of British humor... er... I mean HUMOUR
Review: A long time ago, the Monty Python crew booked into the Gleneagle Hotel in the seaside resort town of Torquay, in Southern England. It was owned and run by Donald Sinclair, an ex-Navy Commander, who once said that it would be a great job if it wasn't...

Check Into Fawlty Towers If You Dare

Date of Review:  Jul 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: "Manuel will show you to your rooms - if you're lucky."
Review: John Cleese is a funny, funny man. I say that after having spent the last couple of months watching all 12 episodes of the hilarious British sitcom Fawlty Towers. My husband and I doled them out like rare chocolates, enjoying each one as the mood...

Don't mind him, he's from Barcelona.

Date of Review:  Oct 16, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you're a fan of John Cleese or Fawlty Towers, don't wait; Get these DVDs today!
Review: When the name John Cleese is mentioned, probably the first thing to come to mind was his all-too-brief stint in Monty Python's Flying Circus. However, he's well-known for a sitcom which is just as funny - Fawlty Towers.

The Two Towers: No,...

No faults here.

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2001
The Bottom Line: The best of the best in British comedy. John Cleese is a master.
Review: I told a friend about epinions, and that friend came and read through what I had written. She now asks me why I don't write epinions on some of the really great stuff. Well, first of all, I didn't know what she meant, but not to be caught off guard,...

"Whatever you do, don't mention the war!"

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: John Cleese on his own without the Python team, but plenty of laughs!
Review: As a youngster, my parents hated this comedy. I chose i different path though. Flicking through the world of Digital TV, i came across this program, and i have never looked back.

John Cleese (Basil Fawlty), stars as a eccentric hotel owner...

Don't go to this Hotel expecting Great Service... or even mediocre Service!

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: Not a bad sitcom, but certainly not the best, as it's pretty hit and miss.
Review: After Monty Python, John Cleese, along with his wife at the time, Connie Booth, created and wrote twelve episodes of a series called Fawlty Towers. The show was about Basil (Cleese), the owner of a quaint hotel in the English countryside. Basil was...

British comedy not the least bit faulty

Date of Review:  Apr 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: One of the funniest TV shows ever broadcast anywhere.
Review: Simply put, Fawlty Towers is a world-class sitcom, one of the funniest series ever created for television. Co-creator/star John Cleese has often grumbled about the fame and notoriety he acquired during his stint with the Monty Python troupe, but...

Fawlty Towers--Funny not Fawlty

Date of Review:  Nov 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: A great comedy series that is a must see for everyone!
Review: If you've never heard of Fawlty Towers, you are truly missing a classic comedy series. Don't let the fact that it's British humor turn you away either. It's not your typical British sitcom.

Fawlty Towers was a series of 12 episodes made in...

"The manager's a Mr. Watt, age forty"?

Date of Review:  Feb 6, 2008
Review: I love this series. You kinda have to be in the room and watching and paying attention. If you are busy doing something else, you may miss some gem and wind up comming here with a bad review. So pay attention. Use close-captioning if you must. I saw...
