Mind Your Language (1977–1986)
5/10
Started off great.

Warning: Spoilers
About half way through the first series, I thought this was one of the funniest TV shows ever. I didn't even mind that there was virtually no continuity and that a group of people who can barely speak English constantly use British slang. It was funny and had good stories. About half way through the second series, I was getting disappointed. The writing got dramatically worse in the second series. They were clearly out of funny ideas so all but one episode had them going outside(something that never happened in the first series). They also added two completely unnecessary characters. Another hot girl to create friction(ugh) and a guy who never learns any English at all. The writers quickly realized they were terrible characters and rarely gave them any lines. About half way through the third series, I couldn't take it any more and had to stop watching. The new characters just disappeared. They eventually explain that the man went back to his country but the female's disappearance is completely ignored. By this point the stories had become painfully unfunny and the show was a chore to watch. Watch the first season and act like that's all there was. Trust me.
