    Advantages Advantages Good characters, nice contrasts and gentle humour

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not outstanding original

    This show is just simply entertaining. It is gentle comedy and really excellent relaxing TV. It isn't really a fantastically original concept, but it works really well. Caroline's sweet character means that she is the butt of many jokes, but she has another, stronger side to her. The romantic tension between her and the rather lovely (if miserable) Richard is great. He is really the opposite of Caroline and the dynamic between these two characters just works. Dell is a personal favourite of mine. The farcial situations into which he places himself really make me laugh. As Caroline's, well ... more

    Advantages Advantages Richard is sooooo funny

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not as good some shows around

    Caroline in the city was first aired on channel 4 but now has taken its place on paramount comedy channel. I quite enjoyed this show as it does have its funny moments. But it wasn’t a great hit in my book though. The plot- Lea Thompson (back to the future) plays Caroline Duffy a cartoonist who draws from her friends and experiences to draw her successful comic strip ‘ Caroline in the city ‘. Caroline’s works with brooding artist Richard karinsky who is Caroline’s colourist , Richard is a sarcastic man with a down look on life. He also doesn’t get on well ... more

    Advantages Advantages Hilarious, Great Chemistry between the cast

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Its on a pay-tv channel

    I've watched Caroline in the City ever since the show first started, and from the first episode I was hooked. The show doesn't rely on one liners to keep the viewers watching, they have a great ongoing storyline, characters who have an amazing chemistry with one another, and an absolutely hilarious script. I originally watched this show when it was on Channel 4, but then Paramount Comedy recently obtained the show, but I have to say the show just gets better and better as the storyline goes on, and I have to say its one of the shows where you can watch old episodes again and again and still ... more

    Advantages Advantages The wonderful Lea Thompson

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Getting a bit long in the tooth

    I first started to watch 'Caroline when I was looking after my baby daughter, when it was broadcast on C4 in the UK. Then it was HILARIOUS! Sometimes I'd laugh 'till my sides ached! Now, a couple of years down the line and the lovey Lea Thompson is exec-producer on the show and its showing signs of getting a bit tired. Maybe I've changed but it doesn't seem quite so funny now. Lea Thompson is still as lovely as ever and the other characters still do their bit but its just not the same. It could be going the Frasier way (except for the last ep of the UK C4 Showing which was excellent!). If you ... more
