After visiting my son and daughter-in-law (she's Irish-from Ireland) and sitting in their living room laughing myself silly with all the tongue-in-cheek humor, and making a spoof of the Irish Catholic doctrine, I started looking for these videos at home. None to be found! So, a search on eBay solved my problem, with many entries to choose from and a wide selection of prices, too. These videos are timeless and you will really enjoy the silly and human-frailties that this trios of priests can come up with in each episode. It is a true saddness that the main actor has passed away, but he surely will be looking down on us all thinking up new humorous plots for someone else to walk us through. God wants us to laugh!
I am a lover of British comedies and own a dozen or so complete series. This is one of them. I have been searching for the DVD's for sale ever since I rented the series on Netflix. If you are not offended by a series that makes fun of Catholic priests, you'll love this series. It is a bout 3 Catholic priests with normal human fallabilities that are isolated on a small island off of the Irish coast. The title character, Father Ted has a number adventures trying to control his cohorts, dealing with a slightly dingy housekeeper, and a dictatorial boss (Bishop Brennan). This whole series will keep you in stitches, if you like offbeat comedies, you'll love this. If you are uncertain about buying it sight unseen, get a disc or two from Netflix, then decide. I think you'll love it.
