Search - Men Behaving Badly - The Complete Series on DVD

Ranks with Married . . . With Children as the funniest shows ever aired on television. The first season is nonstop madness: Rob Schneider is off-the-chain in every episode; Justine Bateman is hilarious with her snide, sarcastic comments bounce off her boyfriend; Ronn Eldard is perfect as the guy with responsibilities who doesn't want to grow up. Justine Bateman appeared in all but the final episode of Season One. Ron Eldard finished the season and was in the Season Two opener. Except for Schneider's antics and his blonde love interest across the hall, Season Two is disappointing. Steven Miner, Eldard's replacement, is not up to the challenge. It's painful when you tell an actor is, well, acting. He doesn't deliver the funny lines with the finesse and conviction Eldard did. But this set is worth having for the first season and Schneider. If the original cast had finished out the series I'd give it 5 stars instead of 4.

Funny pre-Deuce Schneider comedy hits a triple off the wall.

"I've been waiting for this comedy to be released on DVD for quite some time. Several years ago, I heard of it's impending release, only to find out it was the British Men Behaving Badly show. I was disappointed, to say the least. I was 16 when this show was on, but remember watching it every week. I also enjoyed Drew Carey and a Fred Savage-led show called "Working".



This show was basically the bachelor roommate that technically had been done several times before with varying degrees of results. The comedy was crude (especially for that period), but funny. One bit I remember, was when Jamie (Schneider's character), not finding any coffee filters, uses his underwear to make him morning coffee. Stupid, yes. Funny, definitely. Ron Eldard, played his buddy Kevin and Justine Bateman played Sarah.



The reason the show only gets 4 stars: Probably due to either lack of faith, lack of money, or lack of ratings (due to going up against The Cosby Show), Bateman and Eldard took off leaving Schneider carrying the comedic load with some less funny characters. The show was yanked off the air early in its second season. The good news with this DVD release, is the addition of 7!! never-before-seen episodes from season 2. Now I'm not sure if that's good or bad due to the quality of acting, but still a joy nonetheless. I will be purchasing this one and will laugh my [...] off. Cheers!"

One of the funniest shows ever!!

"This show was one of the funniest shows ever!! I have a VHS tape of a few episodes and I'm very happy to see a DVD coming out. I've been checking around for a few years to see if I could get my hands on something like this!!!

It was a shame that the cast could not get along. The first season was so funny. The second season bombed, I stopped watching after the first couple episodes. This DVD is definitely worth it!!!!

I love Rob Schneider!

"I totally love this show and was mad as h---! when it was taken off.Why do studios put shows up against high rated shows on other networks is beyond me.Especially when they are starting out. Rob has some of the best comedic ablility in the business.It surely showed in this show and in all the movies he's done. I hope he looks for another venue someday in tv, but am glad he is entertaining us in the movies.Thank so much for bring this show to DVD, I will definitely buy it. RB"
