\"The<\/a>If you\u00a0have been folowing along since elemntary school you’ll recall that I accidentally discovered Monty Python’s Flying Circus<\/em> somewhere around the 3rd grade. I have been a fan of British humor ever since. During\u00a0The Roach Motel Days, <\/em>MTV did something brilliant! They\u00a0started airing a British comedy series called\u00a0The Young Ones. <\/em>It was about for university students sharing housing and the calamity that ensues.<\/p>\n

It was a good fit for MTV because it was irreverent comedy that spoke to the early twenty-somethngs.\u00a0The show often featured a musical element. \u00a0It was a perfect fit for me because it was \u00a0witty, unpredictable, outlandish and British.<\/p>\n

It was not uncommon for the seemingly normal events to take bizarre turns. For example in a game of Hide And Seek,\u00a0 hiding in the wardrobe leads to Narnia.\u00a0 There was a good deal of slapstick violence but British humor hasalways been strong on dialogue.\u00a0 We watched the show. Taped the show and watched them over and over.\u00a0 I was shocked when I bought the entire series on DVD a few years back and discovered that there were in fact only 12 episodes. There seemed to be so many more.<\/p>\n

The Young Ones<\/em> introduced us to some music that we not have heard otherwise.
