Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee: Mad Man in a Death Machine (2012)
Jesus Christ... and I'm an atheist.
Second episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee is as good as the first. Again Jerry in a different car with a different comedian driving to a different location to get coffee. This time its Ricky Gervais. Whilst the first episode featured Larry David, someone Jerry has had a life long friendship with, Gervais is chosen due to the fact that Jerry finds him funny and yet the intimacy of the first episode is still present. The title of this episode comes from the fact that Ricky is a bad car passenger and a lot of this show is taken up with the journey and not the coffee or meal consumption. The Golden Globes comes up in conversation but fans of The Office will be disappointed as that excellent series is never mentioned. Mostly this is an excuse to laugh at Ricky's displeasure at riding in a fast car with Jerry behind the wheel.
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee: Larry Eats a Pancake (2012)
Truly A Show About Nothing.
First episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee is a good start to the series especially due to the fact that Larry David is the first comedian interviewed or should I say featured. David and Seinfeld have a long history together and this episode shows the creators of "SEINFELD" in good form. This is the perfect follow up to their famous television show as this truly is a show about nothing. If you are a fan of that show and "CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM" then there is a lot to like about this episode. Each show has Jerry in a different car taking a different comedian to a different location to have coffee. Only problem is is that Larry doesn't drink coffee. This is an intimate little show running over 10 minutes never out staying its welcome.
Comedy Connections: Are You Being Served? (2003)
I'm Free... On YouTube.
Early episode of the brilliant series Comedy Connections detailing the creation and early years of the 1970s British sitcom Are You Being Served? Several members of the original cast are interviewed for this episode but minor characters, including young Mr Grace, are never mentioned nor is there any explanation of why certain cast members left the series midway through its run. The second half of the episode is unfocused and deals with the other television series written by the creators/writers of the show briefly touching on It Ain't Half Hot Mum, Hi-Di-Hi and the spin off Grace And Favour. Overall a little bit of a let down since the episode should be all about the show and not an overview of the body of work from the creators. Future episodes of Comedy Connections would deal with the creators other programs including Hi-Di-Hi and 'Allo 'Allo.
