I'm a "laugh snob" but this cracks me up
2 von 2 finden das hilfreich I'm super hard to make laugh. I don't typically laugh where people (or laugh tracks or live audiences) laugh. Few shows have tickled my funny bone through the years. This one makes me crack up repeatedly.
I wish they had made more, or made them in some sort of gradual succession. They're set up rather oddly and I believe the series spans nearly a decade, but there are only 3 official "seasons".
I'm a chunky woman and I always have been. Here in America we are fatter than any other country I believe, from what I've read, and yet, we have approximately 4 overweight actresses. They never play sexy young bold roles, either. (Poor Kathy Bates, she's so typecast - and she's a gorgeous woman!) What I love about Dawn French is how she doesn't wear "tents" to hide her body, she talks about her ample measurements, and everyone around her acts like she's just like everyone else... Because, of course, she is. Here in the US you could throw a rock in a public place and have about a 98% chance of hitting an overweight person. Thin may be "in" but it is an elusive white whale around here.
Kudos to Dawn for her boldness and authenticity, and for such a hilarious show!
