This show is a comic delight in that the viewer is allowed to absorb it and relate to each prank with-out the usual "MC" type of dialog. In a noisy world filled with others views on just about everything, it is refreshing to just sit back, relax, and laugh your rear off by using just your visual sense.

Years ago, I'd catch the late night ads for buying the video series of this show. I so wanted to see it. Now ABC is airing it in the United States. I've heard and read some complaints about the lack of dialog and the added music tracks. What about the laugh tracks? I would find that more annoying, but I've become accustomed to it and it doesn't really matter to me. The lack of dialog makes total sense. To gain such worldwide popularity in countries of so many different languages, it is easy to see why no dialog is included. Not everyone speaks English, or French or whatever language some people may wish to hear on this show. Virtually all of the gags require no sound, they're more visual than anything. Not every gag busts my gut, but I enjoy each and every show. Read more Review posted on Friday, September 28th 2007 at 11:55 am |

Just watched the first episode of the "American" version of this. It literally is the Canadian version with an annoying announcer. The Canadian one has no announcer. It is from Quebec, and CBC shows it on their French and English channels. This is really a new low for ABC. At least re create the gags. The scenes are so clearly not in America. There is visible Canadian money, Canadian mailboxes, and French signs. Read more Review posted on Tuesday, August 28th 2007 at 8:49 pm |
