ChuckleVision

I wish this show was on in the US when I was a kid. I mean, this is something that's actually worth getting up early on Saturday morning for, and for someone whose idea of getting up early is waking up at noon, that means something. The humor is something that translates well across the pond, and my boyfriend and friends and I love to curl up around the laptop for some Chucklevision. Sure, the premise is repetitive, (Chuckle brothers are given a job or other task to do and fail at it horribly with lots of slapstick) but that's part of its charm and what makes it funny. The jokes are still funny as a teen and never fail to make me laugh, the plot twists are actually surprising for a kids' show, and I can watch the same episode over and over and still not get sick of it. If you aren't already showing or considering showing your kid this awesome show, I feel sorry for that deprived little thing.

Chucklevision has got to be easily the best children's programme showing on CBBC, with comedy suitable for both adults and children alike, often me and my kids laugh out loud at their various antics. Unfortunately recently they have only been producing 6 15 minute-ish episodes as compared to their 15 of previous seasons. Although their newer episodes are still funny, and better than allot of other children's programmes, i think the older episodes (only seen as far back as season 7) are their best work - i know what you were thinking, how could they be any funnier! To conclude, if you've never seen them before, watch an episode or two, you'll be surprised by how funny they actually are, i know i was

I'm amazed that there aren't more reviews/ higher ratings for this fantastic show that has entertained generations of children for now over 20 years. The shows humour is timeless and The Chuckle Brothers deserve much more recognition for continuing to entertain after all these years and keeping the standard of this show so high.

Although the plots are always quite similar at the centre of the show is the relationship of the two brothers who I think are like a modern day Laurel and Hardy. They get into various scrapes but the heart between the two is always the key element. There's no bad language or violence, just good funny lines and some slapstick which children and parents can enjoy together.

This is a timeless show that hopefully will continue for many years to come.

I absolutely love this show. Paul and Barry are just fantastic, and their show makes me laugh and fills me with nostalgia. This show has been going on for a long time (and should return and continue), each episode is simple yet fantastic. I would highly recommend showing this series to any child or a teenage and adult ha ha. The contents in the series have nothing rude, it's just good old brilliant humour. A lot of memorable phrases can also be heard, such as "To me......To you" - and they will always be embedded in your mind. Also - come on it's Paul and Barry, who wouldn't love these guys!!! Chucklevision in one word: Fantastic!

ChuckleVision is a comedy programme featuring the exploits of the hapless Paul and Barry Chuckle. If you were to ask me, I would consider ChuckleVision to be the best CBBC show made for the channel. Why? You may ask me. Well, let me explain.

Throughout this long running series, ChuckleVision features the aforementioned Chuckle Brothers trying to perform a basic task whilst causing trouble on the way. The two brothers are identified by their personalities, with Paul being the bossy but smart one, and Barry being the kind but dimwitted one. It seems the two brothers viewed Laurel and Hardy as a major inspiration for these two characters, and they are very memorable, likeable and funny.

Each episode often focuses on a basic outline, such as the brothers running a pizza delivery service or painting a rather large ship. The jokes would often be full of well written puns, as well as slapstick that commonly occurs in a few scenes. They would be related to the overall plot of the episode, and you're bound to have a chuckle at them. I should mention that the running times vary for each series of the show (with some episodes lasting for 15 to 20 minutes), but I wouldn't call it an issue. I feel Paul and Barry managed to give this show a broad appeal, because the comedy is appropriate for all generations; children may enjoy the slapstick, while the adults will laugh at the well written jokes.

Because the show is a long runner, you may be thinking that the quality of this programme declined in the later episodes. ChuckleVision manages to avert this, as the last few episodes manage to be just as good as the older ones. However, I did prefer the later episodes over the older ones, as I thought they were funnier and more exciting. Then again, viewers may prefer the older episodes.

I'd definitely recommend ChuckleVision if you're a fan of comedy, and as the episodes are easily available on YouTube you can choose whatever episode you want to start with.
