Steptoe and Son (1962–1974)
1/10
I used to love this
20 September 2017
I recently looked back on these and was horrified to see what I once found funny. The characters are so bitter and twisted both in personality and attitude. I found myself not laughing but disgusted at what I was seeing, the writing's "comedy" seems to come from the hatred the characters spew at each other and I find that no longer funny but sad and too despicable to be called funny.

If you step back and look at something with a fresh perspective it's amazing how it looks in a new light, and this one just reeks of all things bad. Acting aside because I did think Harry H. Corbett could've done much better things, it's a shame he got stuck with that label and will be remembered for this cesspit of a show.
