Ghosts

Ghosts has aired its final episode and what a gem of a series it was! Over the years I laughed, I cried, I will really miss everything about it. They created something rare in a comedy that could air pre-watershed and be enjoyed by every family member. There's a good reason the final episode was 4th in the overnight Christmas Day 2023 ratings (just behind Doctor Who) and likely to increase with catch-up. I hope the 'Them There' creators group earned a shit load of money for the (terrible) US remake and create some new gems for us in the future - shout out Yonderland. Shawaddywaddy!!

The nice thing about TMDB as opposed to IMDB is that you are allowed to like the British version of ghosts, and you're allowed to like it more than the US version. Why they are taking down positive reviews of the UK version is beyond me. Anyway. it isn't the crude knock off of the US version, there is actually some originality and some pretty great humor here. And, for the most part, the ghosts are better. The Neanderthal is better than the Viking. The pantsless guy is better than the frat boy pantsless guy, an so on and so fourth right down to affairs with the bodies of decapitated heads. It's just better, funnier, and a bit darker.

I love these characters so much. I basically instantly fell in love with all of them the moment I started watching. Also, those emotional moments, especially in season 2 hit me like a truck 😭.
