After 2 failed series on ITV (one with Harry Enfield proving sitcom ain't his speciallity) this moved to the BEEB and became one of the biggest shows of the 90's. I love it.    |

Not seen them all myself. Hated it when Enfield was in it and it put me off.
Eventually I got into it and saw the last couple of series and the specials they did at the end!
And that was in the days when Lesley Ash was still quite fit!
Didn't they do an American version of it which was shite?

My opinion - which is ALWAYS valid and worth taking note of -
Utter Shite.
Morrissey - unfunny. Tosser.
Clunes - marginally funny.
Quentin & Ash - okay... bonny women... but not good enough to lift this trite scriptless trash out of the doldrums.
;D

Found this on the Beeb's comedy guide....
A US adaptation of Men Behaving Badly, made with that title by the Carsey-Werner Company for NBC, got off to a shaky start, and in content was inevitably less raunchy than the UK original - it had to be for scheduling in a primetime network slot; latter transmissions went out at eight o'clock on Sunday nights, prompting Vertue to comment that it was a time at which 'you cannot behave very badly'. Ron Eldard and Rob Schneider starred as the two lads, renamed Kevin Murphy and Jamie Coleman, while Justine Bateman (from Family Ties) was Sarah Stretten, Kevin's nurse girlfriend, and Dina Spybey played Brenda Mikowski, the object of Jamie's lusting. Eldard and Bateman dropped out after the first season, however, and were replaced by Ken Marino (as Steve) and Jenica Bergere (as Katie), but, underachieving, the show was soon cancelled, the last of just 28 episodes being screened in the US on Christmas Day 1997.

As a result of the crappy US version, whenever BBC America show it here it always has the title "British Men Behaving Badly" with the word "British" photoshopped into the titles.
Unfortunately, like a lot of their good shows, BBC America seem only to broadcast the same few episodes over and over.

Loved this too,and I even liked the first series with Harry Enfield. For me I just thought that he was so deadpan and stupid he just cracked me up.
