{television} a bit of fry and laurie; season one (1989)

Brits Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie serve up a tangy blend of eccentric characters, witty wordplay and spontaneous shenanigans in this clever sketch comedy series. The funnymen refuse to play by the rules, crossing conventional lines with madcap abandon. Season 1 features skits with Fry and Laurie's recurring characters, including genteel secret agents Tony and Control, uptight yuppies John and Peter and light metal rockers Bishop and Warlord.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** HILARIOUS. Hugh Laurie is spectacular. Stephen Fry isn't bad either. These two are the true kings of comedy. So much great comedy here, I don't understand why American's just don't get British humor. While I was always kind of let down by French and Saunders, inspite of absolutely loving Dawn French, there is no let down with Fry and Laurie.
