It’s a really fun ride! The humour can be a bit crude at times but it’s aged surprisingly well. I recommend just going in blind. This is the kind of show where continuity is just a suggestion to be cheerfully jettisoned if it gets in the way of a good joke.

Some people say it doesn’t get good until season 3 with the permanent addition of a new cast member, but I think the first two seasons were also great in their own way. It’s funny throughout. There’s just a lot of changes throughout regarding character dynamics that keeps the humour fresh. It’s not the same people doing the same things for years on end.

What’s your take on seasons 6-8?

I know a lot of fans hate the big setting changes that happen in the first episodes of series 6 and 8, and how largely they changed Kochanski’s character.

I think main-cast changes are vital in a long-running comedy show. New character dynamics are new opportunities for jokes and plotlines. Otherwise you get The Simpsons: stale, stagnant, predictable.
