Two great actors, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, anchor this ambling series that chronicles the 1920s thru the exploits of English toff Bertie Wooster (Laurie) and his superior manservant Jeeves (Fry). Wooster is the epitome of the "English silly ass" type, a rather dim-but-cheerful bloke with money who seems forever getting into scrapes with his brigade of aunts and various unsuitable young women who all seem intent on finding a husband. Jeeves, a lowly servant, has vastly superior mental skills and constantly saves his master from his own bad choices.These archetypal English characters are superbly played by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. They are as impeccable the the crease in a gentleman's trousers. They sally forth through London society, the English country weekend set, and even the nightclubs of New York chasing after or running from the many imperious aunts, grasping females, and dopey friends with silly names who populate their art deco world.Stephen Fry draws on every movie and TV butler and valet to create the unflappable and endlessly polite Jeeves. He never loses his cool or his incredible grasp of the English language. He is far superior to Arthur Treacher, who played Jeeves in a few low-budget Hollywood movies in the 1930s. Hugh Laurie seems to channel Claude Hulbert, the great British comic actor and singer in films of the 1930s and 40s. Laurie and Fry are by far the best things in this series, which seems to amble along with sometimes odd pacing, bad direction, and cheap sets (especially the New York adventures).Watch this one for Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry and relish the beautiful English language they speak because it's all long gone from out current world.

Sometimes I get very nostalgic about good old British series, which had great sense of humor and a very light approach to entertainment. Whenever the nostalgia sets upon, I usually re-watch Sherlock to remind myself of the inescapable glorious walk of the progress, but this time I opted for Jeeves and Wooster instead. And I loved it.Bertram Wooster is a wealthy gentleman who manages to get himself into trouble whenever he tries to solve other people's problems. Then it is the time for his smart and psychological butler, Wooster, to help to resolve all the troubles.It is even difficult to say what it is so nice and exciting about the plot, but for some reason it works perfectly. The whole storyline can be summarized as "wealthy people have their own kind of entertainment" – it is difficult to imagine ordinary people getting themselves into the sort of troubles we see in Jeeves and Wooster. And the troubles that we see don't even look like troubles to us, making the series pretty entertaining and relaxing altogether. The good mix of jokes, particularly concerning the habits of the characters, makes you feel home in Britain of Jeeves and Wooster.Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, who play the lead roles, are absolutely brilliant. It is particularly fascinating to see them there young, without the weight of House or Holmes pulling them down. Poker-faced over-polite Jeeves and energetic big-eyed naïve Wooster make the whole series shiny and fantastically charming. Mary Wimbush, who plays Aunt Agatha, is as stereotypical of the wealthy aunts as it can possibly get.The word of warning though: only the first 2 seasons are of the high quality. Unfortunately, the actors change pretty quickly, the interest of screenwriters wanes, and the series become pretty boring. Nevertheless, the first two seasons are outstanding and a great fun.VERDICT: good old-fashioned British TV series featuring humorous Fry and Laurie.WATCH: if you want to get back in time, enjoy some nice British humor or simply observe the life of wealthy.m-picturegoer.blogspot.com

Anyone who has seen Hugh Laurie in TV's House won't recognize him as the bumbling Bertie in this series. What an incredible goofball! Of course, each episode has the same basic plot:1. Bertie encounters an uncomfortable social situation amongst his wealthy early 20th century British friends and relatives. 2. Bertie asks his butler Jeeves' advice. 3. Jeeves' advice gets him into much deeper trouble. 4. Bertie thrashs around to extricate himself but fails. 5. Jeeves comes to the rescue with a risky but brainy solution. 6. Bertie escapes by the skin of his teeth. 7. Jeeves quietly takes credit for the escape and escapes blame for creating the trouble.So, you probably wouldn't want to watch 5 or 6 of these in a row. But, in small doses, these are great!

This show is full of surprises and so much fun to watch. Brightens a bad mood every time. I had to go out and get a book and it's just as good. These actors are the very best to play Wooster and Jeeves. Jeeves seems to have been engaged to every girl that he has ever met. Jeeves has cousins all over the place that keep coming up in conversation. You would think that Jeeves would have been the millionaire and Wooster would be the butler. You know throughout the episodes that Jeeves is the one with the brains. Wooster lacks reasonable thinking and depends on Jeeves to think for him and help him out in every situation he gets himself into. This show gives me a warm innocent feeling of days gone past. The language, and the scenery alone is worth watching Wooster and Jeeves for. Jacqueline
