The Goodies Audience Reviews

IslandGuru Who payed the critics

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

timothyno_1 I have enjoyed the madcapped humour of the Goodies for many years now and are yet to find someone that even comes close to them in originality. Their shows were a laugh a minute and certainly made the 70's well worth being a part of. We would race home from school so we could set ourselves up for our favourite English double - The Goodies and Dr Who. And then we would spend the next day at school discussing both shows in detail. Tim, Graeme and Bill have brought a lot of joy to a lot of people and have in the process influenced many an up and coming British comedian. Who could forget a Giant Kitten, a giant cod, a pirate post office/radio station and stacks of hilarious drag sequences. The brilliant writing was seconded only by the fabulous songs. 'Wild Thing', 'Funky Gibbon' and 'The Inbetweenies' are more than just funny words to music - they are fantastic songs in their own right. The Goodies - a much over looked and unappreciated British 1970's comedy. The Goodies Rule - OK!!!

Chung Mo This series came on my local public television station in the wake of Monty Python's success. It didn't last long and has not resurfaced since. It didn't make a great impression on me although I did enjoy several episodes which, interestingly, have been mentioned in other comments. I fondly remember the cast going nuts after their house is encased in concrete with one character shrieking, "I'M A TEAPOT!!" while mimicking a pouring teapot. That said I usually found their sometimes hysteric "Let's Be WACKY!" delivery a step down from the Monty Python method. And the theme song drove me nuts, it still haunts me with that irritatingly upbeat, "The Goodies...Goodies Yum Yum!" or something like that. It was over 25 years ago I last heard it outside my head.By reading fellows commentators here, I now understand why my younger siblings enjoyed the show. They were very disappointed when WNET-TV here abruptly stopped showing it. They kept turning the TV on each week for months in hope it would reappear. This show was made for them.Hopefully the series will be re-released in Britain and then brought over to the US.

snoozer43 It was reported that a man watching an episode of "The Goodies" laughed so hard he had a heart attack and died. I watched some of them and they were a riot. Some of their episodes had to be the funniest stuff I've ever seen on T.V. I wonder where the clips are sitting now, collecting dust.

BlackArt The Goodies are a very funny British comedy group that grew out of a radio show called "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" (sometimes called "The Wonder Show".) The radio series also had John Cleese and a few others.The writing for this group is always very sharp and filled with unexpected and dreadful puns.If you can find a copy of this, rent, buy or borrow it! (That goes for any of their other movies.)
