Rowan at his best.

Rating: 5
This is one of the funniest Britcoms ever to come out of the Isles, just wish it had lasted longer. Witty, absurd, and every character memorable and quotable. Great way to bond with your kids during the teenage years and teach them amazing slang to substitute for the dreary profanity of our times. Also refreshing to see Rowan do what he does so well (especially if you don't care for Mr. Bean).

I agree with the other reviewers, the only thing wrong with this series is that they didn't make enough episodes! I just don't know how/why this show didn't stay on for longer then it did since it's SO funny. I'm just glad I thought to look to see if Amazon had it for sale so I could get it!

One of Atkinson's best series.

Rating: 5
You will enjoy this series immensely (We did!). All talking Rowan Atkinson at his best (don't look for Mr. Bean!). The supporting cast are all terrific too. Buy this one. You won't be sorry!

Too Hilarious to Miss.

My only complaint with The Thin Blue Line is there aren't enough episodes. This show is hilarious. The "thin blue line" speeches of Inspector Fowler are so funny (ever had a Fisherman's Friend") as he puts his foot in his mouth more with every word. I like Constible Gladstone. When he talks about how he put his foot down to his wife and then he owns up to the fact that after he told her how it was going to be he never saw her again cracks me up. Inspector Grim has to be the dimmest bulb to ever put on a badge. His strings of descriptive adjectives is mind boggling and extremely funny if not bordering on cruel. For us Inspector Fowler fans who have watched Grim run down Fowler's obvious love of police work, tradition and his staff, we get our own back during the episode about Grim's son. My personal all time favorite show is the Christmas show. For those of us who feel that british comedy beats all others world wide or if you are new to collecting british comedy this show is not to be missed. BBC - bring back The Thin Blue Line if nothing else at least a special episode that those of us in the U.S. can purchase.

I'm an old fan of Rowan Atkinson and in my opinion this series is on a par with Black Adder. The main character played by Rowan is a well educated highly principled uniformed police inspector who is supported and complimented by a brilliantly cast set of colleagues. It is the interplay between the individuals in the police station crew that conjour such hillarious situations. If you like traditional english humour then this is for you... enjoy! Delivery from USA to Oz was only a few days.
