I remember picking the DVD set at some store in a mall, near where I used to live, and I think it is one of the best comedies to this day. I was never around during it's original airing either.
This show would not be aired today, due to the fact that it is not 'politically correct', and that people would see it as a goldmine for lawsuits, to get money.
I think this show had some character progression as well, seeing the cast member learn English, and new members coming in/leaving mid- series.
This show, even if you aren't the most educated in linguistics, is easy to watch, and understand. It is great watching some of them trying to grasp the idioms of the English language.
My only criticism, which isn't major one, was that there was no solid ending... I don't know if it was because the show had the rug pulled out from underneath them, and had it canceled prematurely, or that there are some lost final episodes that were never captured.
Regardless, it is sad that now, the cast members are either dead, or old and tired. What a pity.
Anyway, give this show a watch... You don't need to be smart to enjoy it! :)
