Bob et Margaret

This show doesn't hit you over the head with funny...it's sublime. Like most good British comedy. My only regret is that Bob Fish was replaced in the third series...

If you don't get British humour, you just don't. But if you do...I highly recommend this show.

We tuned in to Bob and Margaret not knowing quite what to expect. This was a breath of fresh air. Some of the situations they have found themselves in has happened to us and doubtless many more couples. This is what endears the couple to the viewer. It all comes from brilliant writing. I can't understand why Bob and Margaret hasn't been snapped up by a major channel and aired in a prime time spot. It would go down a storm and be near to top ratings. Simpicity, pathos and humour is the best tonic I know and top marks to this charming cartoon for bringing a little joy into our lives. Long may it run, I hope that they will make several more series as we become accustomed to their lives.

This was the best show on television. I fell in love with Bob & Margaret(I am in love with Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz",now). My favorite episode was the Supermarket. The most shocking episode was when they were at the gym and they knocked a player unconscious with a badmitten birdie. I give this show **********out of**********.

"Bob and Margaret" hasn't been seen on American television in nearly 20 years. Fortunately, I recently found the series on Tubi*--a channel you can find on an Amazon Fire or Roku device. And, after watching a few episodes, I came to realize that I still liked this show very much.

The show generally has a very mundane plot...with husband/wife team Bob and Margaret having some relatively dull adventures. Yet, despite this, the show IS interesting and it does a lovely job of poking gentle fun at these nice dullards. In just about every way, this show is NOTHING like shows like "Family Guy"...which thrives on its complete lack of realism and "Bob and Margaret" thrives on the normal.

Overall, the quality of the animation is decent, the laughs droll and the show one that kids would probably hate but middle age folks appreciate because the couples' adventures are so 'normal'...that is until they are banished from the UK in the beginning of the third season!

*FYI--The episodes on Tubi are NOT shown in the correct order. This generally is not a problem but can be at times. Look at the IMDB list and follow that order to see them as they should be viewed.

Wow, I must say that I was shocked to see that the majority of my fellow Yanks, who commented on the series, had mostly negative things to say about it. I don't know about them, but I certainly "dug" the cartoon. How I wish it was on DVD, but at least it is on VHS since Comedy Central isn't showing it anymore. I could totally relate to this series: Reluctantly going over an acquaintance's house, taking a cheap bottle of wine, being bored, longing for home; Going to a supermarket and getting out of the line you were in to get in one that seemed faster just to be held up for eons of time; so forth.

I miss watching this show. It was a Sunday night ritual for me. It depicted a typical couple in many ways. While I've always loved the Simpsons and find South Park humorous, Bob and Margaret is indeed different, but in a unique way and it is very good! I'd hate to think fellow sitcom enthusiasts from other parts of the world think most Americans lack the depth and open-mindedness to get this kind of humor due to what a few of them wrote on IMDB. Many of my friends and co-workers (also fellow Yanks) enjoyed it also. Any more fellow Americans wish to make a positive comment about the show?
