Caroline in the City

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

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.

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
