Chewin' the Fat (1999)

With three shows under its collective belt, this comedy team has put Scottish comedy on the map. This one-season show was my first introduction, so I had to listen closely to "get the swing of the lingo" by episode 4, before I started over again to enjoy the whole season in one swell foop! These sketches (esp. the recurring ones like the randy retirement home biddy) are inspired genius and mostly based on real-life examples (for example, Big Man). My only quibble is the camera-mugging prankster in the lighthouse sketches. I'd watch this show again at the drop of a shot glass. Enjoy! 4 stars. (12-15-2017)
