The Crouches watch online HD

I live in the United States, so I never had the opportunity to watch this show when it first aired. But let me assure you that all of the negative press and all of the on-line bashing is totally unwarranted. I think that some people who have reviewed this show are so used to seeing the same stereotypical images that permeate Western culture, they just couldn't except that some Black families are normal and not over the top when it comes to TV comedy. I promise you that you will enjoy this show. This show is the funniest thing to come around in decades. There is nothing like it on U.S. television, and it's a shame that I had to wait until 8 years after this show aired to experience the comedic genius of its cast and guest-stars. Find it on DVD if you can, and get ready to die laughing.

This sitcom is one of the first all black sitcoms in Britain a kind of UK equivilent to 'The cosby show'. The acting from Rudolph Walker (Eastenders,the thin Blue line) and Mona Hammond (Eastenders,Babyfather) is great and they're very talented actors - The rest of the cast are down right terrible especially Jo Martin as Natalie Crouch who could easily take on Liz Hurley as the worst British Actress in our generation, But more importantly the jokes just aren't funny! This could easily have been a Family sitcom if it weren't for countless F-WORDS and sexual inuendo which adds nothing to the show expect perhaps moving it to 10.30 at night when most people are in bed

Avoid this sitcom and watch the hilarious 'My Family' instead

6/10

If you took the worst American situation comedy of the early 1970s, stripped away every line that could possibly have been recognized as amusing and then cranked up the canned laughter so it played loudly, without a break, through the entire torturous episode, it would still be five hundred BILLION times funnier than this puerile offensive drek. This is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!

Full of humour without a chip on its shoulder, a few stereotypes but great fun. Rudolph Walker and Don Warrington are hysterical, some of the plots are a bit corny but its a fun sitcom and not meant to be taken seriously. I watched it on the box about the same time I started working for the Underground and 3 of the main characters work there. I bought the DVDs a couple of years back. A couple of now well-known faces like Danny John-Jules, Jimmy Akingbola and Mona Hammond. I have to say, despite another reviewer's bad write-up, I really enjoyed it. Robbie Gee is the cheeky chappie everybody loves although they don't show it! Give it a go!
