Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

RaspberryLucozade Best known now for the controversy it stirred up, 'Heil Honey I'm Home' was a sitcom pilot written by Geoff Atkinson. It concerned Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun living next door to a Jewish couple, Rosa and Arnie Goldenstein. It was not poking fun at Hitler's maltreatment of Jews as some may have thought it would, if that had been the idea, it would never have gone beyond the commission stage. 'Heil Honey I'm Home' was in fact a spoof of American sitcoms from the '60's such as 'I Love Lucy' and 'I Dream Of Jeannie' as was evident by the spoofing of all the clichés that dogged American sitcoms of that era - the corny jokes, canned laughter ( every time a character appeared on set they would be met with uproarious applause ), cheesy theme music and cheesy title. A pre-opening credits caption labelled the show as a lost sitcom pilot from the '60's which has recently been rediscovered. However, unsurprisingly, the point was missed entirely with viewers and it ( pardon the pun ) bombed immediately.Neil McCaul donned the square moustache to play the infamous dictator while sexy Danica Fairman was given the role of Eva Braun. Playing their neighbours Arnie and Rosa were Gareth Marks and lovely Caroline Gruber ( who both appeared together in the hilarious 'Bottom' episode 'Finger' ). The theme tune was written and composed by its writer, Atkinson and the underrated Kate Robbins ( who also wrote the theme tune for Cilla Black's 'Surprise Surprise' ).The plot follows the attempts of Hitler hoping to impress Neville Chamberlain ( Patrick Cargill ), who is paying a visit to the Hitler household. However, things predictably go wrong when the Goldenstein's turn up the their home with their plain niece Ruth ( Laura Brattan ) and humiliate Adolf in front of Mr. Chamberlain.It was not particularly bad but all in all it wasn't particularly good either. There were too few funny gags and the canned laughter annoyed from the start ( and yes, I know, before you say anything, that the canned laughter was intentional but it still bugged the hell out of me ). McCaul certainly made the best of the role as did Denica Fairman and Gareth Marks and Caroline Gruber fared well enough as the Goldenstein's but all in all it was more miss than hit.BSB was discontinued in 1990 after being swallowed up by Sky Television, which meant 'Heil Honey I'm Home' was dropped straight after the screening of the pilot. No other channel would touch it with a barge role and to this day, a further eight episodes ( which had Maria Friedman replacing Danica Fairman in the role of Eva Braun ) have yet to ever be screened or released on DVD. If it should by chance surface, though I doubt it will, it will be safe to assume that it will not be recognised as an undiscovered classic.Funniest moment - The Goldenstein's niece Ruth meeting Neville Chamberlain and immediately becoming smitten by him, much to his fear. ''Do you want a lock of my hair for your wallet?'' she asks, meaning of course for him to keep in his wallet. Terrifed, Chamberlain responds: ''Sounds like a fair exchange!''. And, trust me, that really is the best joke in the whole show.

slimer8489 OK, so I'm a curious person. I like digging into the rare and infamous stuff, stuff that sticks out, mainly with TV and movies. (For example, the biggest box office bomb, the biggest box office success, the worst TV show ever, yadda yadda yadda). And this show is right up my alley! A few days ago, I was on a Facebook page called "The Rise and Fall of Nickelodeon", which is dedicated to hating the aforementioned kids channel. One post was about Angelica and Susie's Preschool Daze, a Rugrats spin-off that didn't last very long, and focused on the two older kids, Angelica and Susie, in preschool. Now, in the comments section of this post, someone mentioned Australia's Funniest Home Videos. Being the curious person that I am, I looked it up, found out some things about it, and so forth. I also managed to see some suggested searches, one of them being "Heil Honey, I'm Home!". Seeing as how it had nothing to do with my search (or, at least I thought at the time), I decided to take a look. I found out that this show did the impossible, it took something like Hitler and the Third Reich, and turned it into a sitcom. I just had to see this, and I did.Now, obviously, right from the start, this show is a straight-up parody. It's intention was to mock the old sitcoms of the '50s, '60s, and '70s, which had lots of stupid ideas, but lasted fairly anyway (hence the show's premise). So, I wouldn't be taking this show seriously. When I saw the one and only episode ever aired, I... didn't know what to think of it. I mean, it's kind of funny, but when you look at the historical side, it's just hard to look at. It's based off of an infamous person from history, but it's taken so lightly. I know, it's a parody. But when you base something off of something that actually happened, you just wonder where the history takes place.I wasn't offended by this show, and I didn't want my time back after watching this show, I just felt pretty blank about it. It has some fairly decent comedy to it, but that's all I can say about it. It just left me with nothing. But it didn't leave the world with nothing. This is known as the most tasteless sitcom of all time. And I get where they're coming from with that. There were other episodes that were shot, but never aired (for obvious reasons.) So, that's Heil Honey, I'm Home! It's something that you truly have to see to believe.

altair42002 I wonder who was responsible for this mess. The jokes wouldn't have worked for gilligan's island. If this had gone to series, would there have been jokes about Auschwitz, or would Eva have to replace her oven, only to have Adolf suggest the kind that seats 50?? Another post compared this show to I love Lucy. The problem with this is that Lucille Ball was a genius at physical comedy and bizarre situations, and this mess was just plain badly done and an insult to my intelligence. After the damage the Nazi's did to England and the number of people they killed, I would think the very concept of a comedy about Hitler would seem repugnant and most normal people would have killed this concept before any episodes were produced.

Dark_linkoc Yes, sure "Heil honey I'm home" might sound like a bad idea, what with placing Hitler in the middle of a comedy sitcom but the show delivers. It's just seems so novelty and retro, what with the laughter track and clap track, "Heil honey I'm home" set's the standards for all Hit-com's (Hitler Comedys).Whilst some may be offended by the crude jokes it is important to remember many of the first generation veterans are..well..dead, so deal with it and laugh it up because "Heil honey I'm home" just doesn't stop with the laughs...So to "Heil honey I'm home" i say, whens the next episode due?
