Carey934 Before the avalanche of bills, the pressure to make money, being forced to work alongside uncooperative and overly dramatic people... Before adulthood and responsibilities, do you remember being a teenager or young child and just laughing at something silly? I'm talking wet-your-pants laughing. As a teen, there was some great silliness I truly enjoyed... Benny Hill comes to mind. As a child, Bugs Bunny or Mel Brooks 'Silent Movie,' or Steve Martin's 'The Jerk...'Then, at some point, it seems that 'silly' part of my life slowly eroded away over the years. Frozen pizza stopped tasting good and Creme Brulé became something I can not only pronounce, but really enjoy. Posters on my walls were replaced with oil paintings on canvas. When the word 'buffet' had just one meaning (and it had nothing to do with furniture.) A bit jaded and cynical, I now find shows like 'HAPPYish' and 'Silicon Valley,' identifiably-humorous.I don't know when it happened exactly. I'm not even sure I realized anything ever went missing until I watched this show. My initial, gut- response was, 'what the heck is this nonsense?!'As my adult-brain struggled to make heads-or-tails of what I was watching, it somehow awakened some long forgotten artifact of childhood emotion, hidden deep within my conscious memories. An emotion called 'silliness' that I haven't felt in decades.I started to watch the show though my childhood-eyes... An attempt to feel that emotion again. To see if it still exists within me.I got it! I understood it! It's silly! It's meant to be silly, silly!!! And while I didn't really LOL though anything, I did smile the whole time I was viewing it and, now, I LOL when I think about certain parts that I previously watched. And the more I think about them, the sillier and sillier they become.So, if you don't like this show, I'm sorry. Truly I am.

Jenn Marie The abysmal score this series has thus far received has hastened me to at least attempt to speak up in its defense. I was genuinely surprised by the ratings regarding Pompidou, because from the first episode, I could not stop laughing. It reminded me so much of Mr. Bean that the lack of proper English didn't even enter into it. I found this series to be unique and clever and absolutely hilarious, which isn't an easy feat when the majority of the script is constructed of gibberish. Like with silent films, once you let yourself become immersed in the action, rather than the dialog, you can receive great enjoyment from the physical comedy itself.Matt Lucas made a valiant effort to bring life to this lovable if not conniving character. I think that it may take a few years for this series to fully sink in and to be appropriately appreciated. The sad thing is that there will only be one season to enjoy... over, and over and over again.

karenjarboe I love Matt Lucas's incredibly unique style in this show. The unintelligible but intelligible speech is a unique experience and well done. I think it's pretty damn funny. Pompidou's child like mannerisms make him likable, but are twisted by a lack of common morals. The humor is light and somewhat slapstick. I find the combination to work quiet well. My only complaint is that there are moments when things become a little too unrealistic and it's hard to connect with; however I do enjoy that we have to suspend reality a bit to get along with the show. I think the production value is quality and acting is spot on. It's always a pleasure to see Matt Lucas work. I'm looking forward to more!

Eddie Jackson I loved every second of it! A 10 star comedy from Matt Lucas, my favourite comedian! I don't know what others are complaining about. It is hilarious, got a big plot, and very entertaining! Anyone will love it! You should watch it, I guarantee that you will love it. I have watched every single episode twice. Everyone should watch it! It's about a funny old man who was kicked out of his manor and is forced to live in a caravan on the grounds of his house with his dog, Marian, and his butler, Hove. He gets up to many mischievous things, like eating someone's cake, dressing up as Freddie Mercury and singing, or camping in his own home! If he does something wrong he will often blame his dog. I recommend that everyone should watch it.
