Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

robertguttman For the benefit of those who are not familiar with it, "Allo, Allo" is a British comedy series about the French Resistance during World War II. It is a comedy series that could never be produced today, and certainly could not be produced in the U.S. Only the British could have come up with a comedy series that contains more politically-incorrect material than would be found in an entire season of any present-day television show. To this day "Allo, Allo" remains among the things for which the French have never forgiven the British (along with Crecy, Agincourt, Joan of Arc, Blenheim, Trafalgar, Waterloo and Dunkirk). However, the French are not alone. The humor in "Allo, Allo " would be perceived to be equally offensive by Germans, Italians, women, homosexuals, the Catholics Church, the British themselves, and just about everybody else."Allo, Allo" was created by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft, the same pair who created "Are You Being Served?". Consequently, it should come as no surprise that the show leaves no depth unplumbed in the pursuit of a laugh. "Allo, Allo" represents British burlesque humor at it's lowest. On the other hand it is also, for those whose sensibilities are not easily offended, truly one of the funniest shows ever produced.The best news is that "Allo, Allo" has recently been re-released on Netflix. That means that former fans can enjoy being offended by it all over again, and new fans will have the opportunity to enjoy being offended by it for the very first time.

studioAT They don't make sitcoms like this today. In our age of Political correctness this sitcom which pokes fun at pretty much all of the major players in the war wouldn't be allowed to be made today.But it's great fun. Full of catchphrases (it's fun to watch the early episodes where they haven't caught on yet), iconic moments and above all, great characters who we fully follow throughout the madcap farce that ensures throughout the nine series.Sitcoms like this don't age, not really. Yes, the picture quality gets a bit more grainy, and sadly we lose more of the cast as time goes on, but new audiences continue to discover and enjoy it with each passing year.It's a great comedy, and I'll say that more than once.

bravesfan35 I absolutely love this show. Every episode is funnier than the one before it. If you can actually sit through an episode of Allo Allo and not even crack a smile, I suggest you go to a doctor and have your sense of humor examined. Allo Allo is one of the best, if not THE best Britcoms ever made. I even find this funnier than most of the Monty Python's Flying Circus episodes. To the person who asked us if we'd enjoy a comedy set in a death camp, that's pretty sick and has absolutely nothing to do with our enjoyment of Allo Allo. Here in the US, we do have a comedy set in a POW camp. It's called Hogan's Heroes. Maybe you should check it out.

bubba babba David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd tread lightly but surely on a dangerous political territory exposing human shortcomings, hypocrisies, and conflicting driving forces and with their delightful sense of humor they win the audience over every time. But I am not sure how this show would be received in France, or Germany, or England even. Putting the characters into the shoes of superficial caricatures of resistance fighters to exploit this very opportune vantage point, while from a comical perspective as it offers a lot of grounds for humor is genius, in reality it is a bit insensitive. I am thinking of the resistance fighters of my own country whose first hand accounts I read quiet a lot and having done so I would have a difficult time laughing if there was a silly series as such made about them. But, it takes genius of the duo of producers in this series, to perpetuate stereotypes with such elegance and wit. After seeing the You Rang M'Lord series it is hard to say that Allo Allo is good. It by far falls short. It felt like there the plot and the characters did not evolve much or smoothly, the characters were not as multidimensional as in You Rang M'lord, and the different aspects of each character were not explored in various scenarios. It also felt like the producers perhaps were not operating with a theme and historical setting through which they could maneuver in a very liberal sort of way. However, standing alone this series is nevertheless funny in a silly kind of way. It has several catchy lines, the caricature characters are comical, and overall it is very entertaining. Some characters were more entertaining than others; I found the acting of the old lady, Edith, Herr Grueber, Helga and the old musician to be hilarious while Rene, the two barmaids, Herr Flik, and the women of the resistance left a lot to be desired. Nevertheless, I highly recommend it.
