Mind Your Language (1977)
Ho-kay!
Actually, this show is way beyond (In Max's words) "Ho-kay".
Full of colorful characters, this show very cleverly portrays their struggles in trying to get some semblance of a grip on English language. Each episode made for an eventful and enjoyable 30 minutes of my life. I can relate very much to this show myself, being a Pakistani and learning English in primary school as my second language. I am sure other "foreign" people can too.
Some of my favorite dialogues:
Max: (About Cricket) When he's out, he's not really out, he's in. And when he's in, he's not really in, he's out.
(Brown finishes explaining what "Sold a Dummy" and "Sold a Pup" means) Giovanni: I get it, but its just one-a thing I don't-a get. Do he buy the "dummy" before or after he buy the "pup"?
Ali: Squeeze me please lady.
Brown: We can't talk about sex right now! There's a time and place for everything. Danielle: You just give me the time and the place and I shall be there.
- Needless to say, a throughly enjoyable show.
