The InBetweeners
 

Just discovered them on BBC America this week. A cracking series. Loved it. Anyone else watch it? What did you think?

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Yes, we recorded them and watched last night. I'd heard lots of good things from my friends back home.

Thought it was excellent, really funny and nice writing.

I liked how BBC America blurred the 1 finger gesture over here, but not the 2:lol:

Looking forward to next weeks episode now, I think they have only made 12 so far though.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Yep the beeped a fair bit of it as well don't they and they couldn't possibly show someone's naked bum on TV ;)

Paul and I think it's great. Really refreshing. Didn't stop laughing from beginning to end.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

I love how on all the programs they are always too early with the beeping so what you actually hear is 'beep uck'. Useless, why can't they just have a watershed.

Nice to see something new, we also got Sundance back a couple of weeks ago, with the new series' of Shameless. Another classic :)

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Oh my God, I cannot STAND that show! :lol:

For me, the acting was so bad it spoilt any other redeeming qualities. I only made it through two episodes before I gave up.

caught hubby watching this, sat and watched some of it had a great laugh and enjoyed it!

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Not seen it, but seen it doing the rounds, couple series in with a third sometime this year though...so might give it a go if it's on the box now :)

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Haven't laughed so much in ages, love it.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

One of my face progs. Love it!

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Loved it when he ended up carrying his car door around Thorpe Park :D

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Got both series on DVD during the last England trip. It's a whole lot funnier when you get to see it unedited. The Xmas Prom episode is a particular favourite of mine.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

I just saw this on BBCA and the bleeping was driving me nuts! Both series are up on The Box so I D/L them. A couple of the eps in the second series were so funny I was rolling around the floor with tears streaming. My US wife doesn't really see the humor in it but having gone through 6th form myself it just spoke to me! :thumbsup:

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Great! I'm so glad they are showing it over there. It's absolutely brilliant. They're about to start making a third series/season, so I can't wait for that. Apparently there's going to be a film as well where they go on a 'lads holiday' to a Spanish resort.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Downloaded this series a while back. Think it's on E4 in the UK.

Extremely funny. The episode where they go to a club in a London is probably my favorite.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Do you think it's been edited that much. Another friend who watched it in the UK and is now in NYC said she didn't think it had?

Re: The InBetweeners
 

How edited is US TV for 'bad' language?

I know that when my SO first came to the UK, we were watching a show and she was almost in shock when the 'f' word (and worse!!) was not bleeped. She's not offended by it, she just wasn't used to hearing it on TV.

For what it's worth, my opinion is that bleeping out swear words is totally wrong (after 9pm I'm talking). Someone else shouldn't be deciding what is right or wrong for me to hear. If I don't want to hear it, I won't watch the show.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Everything is edited, as they show any program at any time of day. You can turn the TV on at 10.00am to find Pulp Fiction on. All the swear words are bleeped, but surely it would be bad enough a 7 year old watching this without the swearing.

The only things at aren't bleeped are Bolloxs, Americans don't seem to know what this means. Also the 2 finger salute, means peace over here, so that gets through. How on earth while someone is shouting F*** off while making the gesture, can they really think its not a rude gesture.

It drives me crazy. I totally agree you should be able to decide what you watch.

They could really use a watershed, as lots of TV during the day is really inapropriate for kids, even if the program is ok, they stick a horror movie advert in the middle of The Simpsons:confused:.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

They don't bleep out wanker, well at least not on anything I've watched. I noticed on the Inbetweeners the other day they bleeped out 'tit' hardly a strong curse word!

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Turning on Comedy Central in the early afternoon and seeing the movie Porky's on , but with all the sex and swearing cut out, takes some beating though. Not to mention a very short film.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Yes, i'd forgotten about that. Tosser gets through too:lol:

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Just downloaded both series yesterday and tore through the lot in two evenings! Hilarious!

Clunge!!! :lol:

Re: The InBetweeners
 

I still watch them regularly, I never get tired of them.

Bumder. :lol:

Re: The InBetweeners
 

You big tease, we are still watching one episode a week on BBC America.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

series 1+2 for £10 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Inbetweeners...5171453&sr=8-1

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Whilst watching someone gut a deer at 3 am the other morning, I did utter the phrase "up to my nuts in guts"

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Well you're not going to find out how you need to update the BE sweary filter by watching the BBC America version, are you? :D

Re: The InBetweeners
 

:D :D :D
Don't worry I'm ex-army ... my swear word dictionary doth overflow :rofl: But it is annoying having all those bleeps every 5 secs.

Talking of which they blocked out half the songs in the Grammys. I though my TV was on the blink.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Was amusing I thought. And yes they did bleep tit but not gash which was hilarious. It's all about context!

Re: The InBetweeners
 

I watched it last night and loved it! It was like Grange Hill with more sex, more swearing, and more humor. So not really like Grange Hill at all!

Re: The InBetweeners
 

The wife and I watched the 1st 3 episodes tonight on demand. Loved it.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Last year I had some guy call me wanting me to agree to a kind of virtual petition (if you said yes would have your name added to the petition) to have stricter editing of shows, when I told him no, he asked if I had children and then continued to basically call me a bad mother for not wanting tighter controlls on TV.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Completely unrelated, but I wish they would show series 3 and the Christmas Special of Gavin & Stacey, that show is probably the funniest I have seen on BBC America.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

That just beggars belief. I think people like that are actually quite dangerous; who knows what other insane things he supports and campaigns for.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

It was pretty good that last series. I'm sure it'll come on there soon.

We're on about 34th repeat of series 1 and 2 at the moment!

Re: The InBetweeners
 

They showed the Christmas Special of Gav & Stacey on Christmas Day. Sorry to break it to you now:(

It is a great series isn't it

Re: The InBetweeners
 

What always surprises me is that those same people will let their kids watch the violent films with blood and gore, but any mention of sex, or the smallest hint of skin and they protest as loud as they can. Personnally I would rather have my teenage son watch something like the In-betweeners, than someone blowing a person's head off with a shotgun.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

No that was the one that was shown Christmas 2008 in the UK.

Re: The InBetweeners
 

the dvd boxset on amazon was cheaper than getting individual series...well worth it...

Re: The InBetweeners
 

Please Please Please tell me they do not Bleep any words after say 9 in the USA.....If they do i am lost for words :confused:

Re: The InBetweeners
 

You need to be lost for words then.
