Review of The Goodies

The Goodies (1970–1982)
5/10
Hasn't aged well
3 July 2023
The antics of The Goodies: Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie. With a motto of "We do anything, anywhere, anytime", they're a trio for hire. This leads them into some strange and zany situations. However, our fearless band always has a solution.

I don't see what the allure of The Goodies is. They're compared to Monty Python, which is strange as Monty Python was incredibly funny, the funniest comedy group ever to have existed, in my opinion. The Goodies, on the other hand, is more silly than funny.

It really doesn't work for me and I consider myself to have a great sense of humour. Maybe it just worked at the time, relying on psychedelia. Maybe you had to be high to enjoy it. Whatever it's reason for popularity and longevity in the 70s, the show doesn't work now.
