I liked The Goodies when I was at school. They never got repeated much after that though.
they nver got repeated
at all in Britain. Once the last season finished, that was that. Evidently,some folk had videotaped them, though; and when YouTube arrived, those old videotapes started appearing online.
most of my geekish mates (from the public school down the road) preferred Python, and thought the Goodies were silly and childish...but that was mostl;y thoughtless prejudice on account of the BBC given the latter a tea-time slot, I believe ( Gaurdiian writer, above suggests the same) Anyway, that served to strengthen my Goodies preference, on account of my stubborn anti-conformist streak
, and on account of people too often thinking i was too serious minded So whenever I happened to like something ""silly", i was inclined wear that as a badge of honour... to an utterly silly extent , even.
no wonder people found me confusing.
i think i like both, therabouts equally, in fact, and find both teams somewhat tedious and irritating sometimes . And only fitfully funny. I know it's sacrilegious to say that of the Pythons, though
I'm sure the fault is all mine
oh. yeah, and rhe Pythons are
also childish and silly
Surely they'd be unbearable otherwise?
