The Young Ones are still one of the finest comedy shows ever. The musical acts as a non-sequitur in the middle of scenes. Adrian's mindless and pointless anarchism. Rik's Portland Hipster 20 years before Portland was founded. (heh.) Neil's drippy hippy. Just priceless archetypes, so perfectly realized. Loved that show. And the phenomenally shitty puppetry. Puppets are always best when they are really shitty.

I love The Young Ones. Supposedly the musical acts were done because the BBC would give more funding per episode to shows that were "variety" rather than just a comedy.
