[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 439166, member: 5079"] Not terribly relevant here, but through the years I have concluded that I do not like the binge model of TV viewing; an episode a week, more or less, has turned out to be the ideal for me after all. I also like a bit of anticipation. Blasting through a show at a rapid place just blurs it all together. Even in the colder months when I was watching TV more consistently, I would only watch an episode of a show every other night or so. Add me to that list. I briefly considered it odd that Basil so quickly forget the guests' names, but then I realized I had also quickly forgotten the guests' names. The gag worked just fine with the assumption it was Basil's memory at fault, but so much funnier with the proper context. I already suspect FAWLTY TOWERS will be more enjoyable on rewatch than the first time around, as there are undoubtedly lots of little jokes or context that I've missed. I wouldn't be surprised if FAWLTY joins a small group of classic sitcoms that I watch on loop. I've never had it, although I gather it's a mildly tangy mayonnaise. So the kid wanted to just eat bread with salad cream? I can't imagine a Miracle Whip sandwich -- with nothing else -- would be that appealing. [/QUOTE]
