Tracey Ullman's Show

Just found this show and looked foward to it after her brilliant first series - but so disappointed! To paraphrase the character 'Dennis Pennis', "Hey Tracey - how come you're not funny any more?" Although her impersonations are good, this show doesn't come anywhere NEAR Tracey's late 1980s show. Love to know what James L. Brookes (creator of her 80s show + Taxi et al) thought of it - I'm sure he would have binned those 'comedy' sketches.

We are now have her shows on TV here in Thailand and sorry she may be very talented in some areas but for me her comedy is rubbish and she should give it up. Now Catherine Tate who is similar in some ways is a far superior comedy act and I have a good laugh when she is on TV whereas Tracey puts me to sleep or I changes channels or sit and watch paint dry

From her spot on impressions of celebrities like Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, Camila and Angela Merkel. One of the best non Tracey characters is Birgit played by Samantha Spiro. The non celebrity characters are hilarious too. Her accents are insane. She can mirror anyone's accent. It is too bad she does not get on social media. I think it would be hilarious to see her daily posts.

I'm a big fan of the first sketch show, so gave this one a shot, but sadly was disappointed and, quite frankly, bored. However, I must still praise Tracey Ullman for her talent with impressions.

Not sure why this series is not more popular. it's a bit more British than her old American series years ago, but I love British humor. There is a bit or two now an then that is really British, and thus may fall flat for Americans. But most of it is very relatable and very funny. Her Judi Dench makes me fall on the floor ever time, as does her Maggie Smith. Many of her non-celeb bits have an underlying human quality to them, i.e., funny and sometimes a bit sad or containing a deeper message.

Highly recommend this show, but it may not be for everyone.
