i like that they spent three seasons on taub’s tumultuous marriage where they took his unfaithfulness really seriously and we’d get these boring scenes of him and rachel just talking about their boring marital problems but then in s7/8 post their divorce they decided to take a hard left into having him cheat on a young nurse with his now ex wife and getting them both pregnant simultaneously and then having two daughters both called sophie. the sitcomification of house md has its issues but that was a definite win. they apologised for three seasons of the most boring plot you could possibly think up by just putting taub in a straight up farce. like he’s basically just in his own comedy show at that point

#do i think taub should’ve had more character development yes #because i love him #do i think realistically he would’ve had more character development no #so i respect and enjoy the decision to just turn him into basil fawlty #best of both worlds #house md #taub #+

Captain comedy connections

I’ve always said that the way I feel about the Captain, and the reason he was my instant favourite, is this: it’s like walking into a party and seeing someone you know. The ‘blustering but ineffectual authority figure’ is a really recognisable comedy staple. Just him being there positions Ghosts in a long line of classic British sitcoms. And then they flipped that archetype by giving him a relatable inner conflict and all his funny little idiosyncrasies, all those hints at the real person buried beneath the persona ♡ Anyway, none of these characters are identical to Captain, but I think he certainly shares some of their DNA and I just felt like gathering them together

#a selection of 20th century repressed comedy dads #bbc ghosts #britcom #the captain ghosts #monty python #fawlty towers #dad's army #the fast show #bbc porridge #blackadder goes forth #molesworth #are you being served #Ben says he’s inspired by his own teachers so I included one of Molesworth’s schoolmasters #blackadder is way more cynical about the army than captain #but I don’t think he’s exactly any of the others in that show either #there’s an episode of dads army where cpt mainwaring falls in love with a married woman #and it makes him question all his values and it’s sweet and poignant & that feels very captain to me #ralph isn’t bossy at all but he and ralph are here for the exquisite pining vibes #this is embarrassingly earnest but I’m breezing through it #been in my drafts for ages but felt like posting it today
