Advantages: Hilarious script, great comedy performances, great gags

Disadvantages: None

Fawlty Towers is the brain child of John Cleese who is in many peoples opinions a comic genius and this is maybe his finest hour. In Fawlty Towers Cleese came up with a hilarous show based on Basil Fawlty and wife Sybil who run there own hotel with the assistance of Manuel, Polly and chef Terry who work together and end up making everyones stay at Fawlty Towers an experience they will never forget. This show is from the 70's and so some of the fashions look dated but to me I think the show is so funny that things like that and a very cheap set (where the entire wall shakes with the slightest touch) don't detract from how hilarous this show actually is. Cleese and Manuel have the main slapstick comedy in the show and play it to perfection. If you have never seen this show then you have to see it and if you have then you will never tire of watching it.

Summary: A hilarious show that has stood the tests of the time and is as funny as ever
