Good men may be hard to find, but
sometimes bad men are much more fun!
Crack open a beer and gorge on an extralarge
helping of bad behavior, British style.
Rivaled only by Absolutely Fabulous as
the champion British sitcom of the '90s,
Men Behaving Badly follows the raunchy
adventures of Gary (Martin Clunes,
Shakespeare in Love), and Tony (Neil
Morrissey, Happy Birthday Shakespeare),
two unabashedly rude and crude flatmates
devoted to drinking beer, bragging, swearing and fantasizing aloud
about women. These guys care and share. Maybe too much. Don't be
confused by the toned-down American version shown on NBC; this
unapologetic seven-disc set is the original British blueprint for bad
behavior.
