Always enjoy this and will still watch the re-runs from time to time Saturday nights on PBS. 9/10.

I used to watch it every week and enjoyed it enough to "watch it every week". Saw some episodes lately and they just don't seem as funny now. The characters and the double-entendres get annoying. There's just so many jokes about her cat that one can take. That and they are just so mean to each other. Snipe, snipe, snipe ! I don't "do" number ratings but since I know you will ask  , I went from probably an 8 to a 6. |

I actually gave this clever old school show a vote of 10 . Although I haven't seen every season or episode of this fine show I did however enjoy the ones I have seen on the channel PBS over the years  . All the characters were very likeable as well . Thanks Mr. Dacron for your subject post  . |

It's definitely a favorite of mine; I find the humor an absolute delight.
As for its qualities as a program--who knows? I just know I find it very funny. (Reminds me of the time a reporter asked Stan Laurel, "What is humor?" "How I do know?" Stanley said. "All I know is how to make people laugh.")
With that said, I saw the pilot several nights ago (it ran on PBS), and it made me think that it took about a season for the show to hit its stride. (Then PBS ran an episode from Season 3, and it was hilarious.)
Interesting similarities to Christianna Brand's 'prentice work, Death in High Heels.

The older PBS comedies crack me up. I gave it an 8/10. Earlier years were better. I should see if PBS has them on Sunday, & watch again. I need a good laugh. Funny how these shows today would get slammed.

I watched AYBS in high school and loved it. When else in TV history have American school boys thought a late middleaged British lady was the funniest person in the world?

Hilarious Britcom with memorable characters and simple silly plots. I didn't like it much 'back in the day' but I love watching it now many decades later. It's one of those things that gets better with age.
My rating: "8"

I started watching it in the '00s. Makes me sad that they've all passed.
Miss Brahms and Mrs. Slocumbe died months apart.

mr spooner is still alive. looking pretty good, too.
he was the replacement for mr lucas when he left due to scheduling conflicts [he thought they were cancelled so he took a role on the stage or something]
i actually liked and preferred spooner better than lucas. trevor bannister was right and wise not to sign on to grace and favour [even if they did ask him] because dirty old men are done to death in England.
i understand what people are saying, the long-running jokes are just that, long running. you can only hear mrs slocombe talk about her cat so many times. they needed more jokes like 'shall i remove my underwear and put perfume there instead?
