Breaking out the champagne! Come and have a glass, there's plenty for everyone

A Bit of Fry and Laurie was a BBC comedy sketch show starring and written by Stephen Fry ("Who?!" Americans say) and Hugh Laurie ("Ooooh, House!!" the world says).

I can say that about Americans because I'm one of those (previously) ignorant Americans who had never heard of Fry or Fry & Laurie until becoming addicted to House and looking up everything Hugh Laurie did. The DVDs of seasons 1 and 2 ABoF&L just recently became available in the US, so I got them. I love them. They're like Monty Python, except starring only two men, rather than a handful.

Right now there's a thread on the House forums entitled "You know your [sic] obsessed with House when..." I guess I need to post there responding, "You go get the DVDs of Fry & Laurie and love them so much that you go for and get the editorship of the show on tv.com."

There's a ton of work still to be done there. Very few of the episodes have recaps or any notes, quotes, trivia, or allusions, even though there are plenty to submit. If you're not ready to invest in the DVDs, Netflix has them. Plus it's kind of cool to see baby-faced Hugh, clean shaven and in his early 30s rather than late 40s, even though I find Hugh at 47 (i.e. now) sexier than Hugh at 33 (then). Oh yes, and Hugh sometimes sings and plays piano. Stephen knits. It's awesome.
