Best comedy-show EVER!!!! believe me!

I have seen every single episode of this! It is so great! the whole family plays so good! They are all funny, Jazz too by the way! I still watch the episodes on BBC to tape them on video!

people who say the show is just about will are so not right! every character has several episodes where they are put in the picture. There a just a few less good episodes but most of them will make u rolling over the floor! :D :D :D :D D:
