Equal parts Marx Brothers, Black Adder, and James Joyce, Father Ted is inspired lunacy with a rural Irish twist. This set contains the final season of the BBC series; Father Ted abruptly ended in 1998 with the death of its talented, comic star, Dermot Morgan. The eight episodes here are a little uneven, but the best stuff is classic, laugh-out-loud satire, including "Are You Right There, Father Ted," in which Morgan's titular Catholic priest is re-banished to Ireland's Craggy Island, a green rock replete with paranoid sheep, randy milkmen, Nazi memorabilia collectors, and an inexplicably large community of Chinese immigrants. Outstanding, too, is "Speed 3," in which Ted discovers that a number of babies recently born on Craggy all look like a self-made swinger named Pat Mustard. "Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the Arse" speaks for itself, and "The Mainland" gives supporting actor Ardol O'Hanlon (as idiotic fellow cleric Dougal) a great showcase. --Tom Keogh

Laughing out loud funny January 3, 2009
Father Ted is one of those series that will have you laugh out loud at any moment and you don't know when. I lived in the UK during the time it was still on TV as the original series and I remembered how funny it was, and was glad to find it on DVD. The great thing about Father Ted is that it has a lot of non-politically correct jokes such as about the church but yet at the same time it seems to remain "sweet" and innocent" Dermot Morgan had a great way of being extremely funny while trying to be serious and hold the whole gang together. Mrs Doyle's life revolved around making tea for everyone. There are no words for Father Jack, some of the funniest scenes involve him especially when he comes across a group of non-drinkers in a support group who think his "drink!" speech is an original, new confession. There are so many little things in this series that are great. Ardal O'Hanlon was great at playing the dim-witted Dougal. I recommend the whole series and Dermot Morgan will be remembered well as a comic genius. (And you don't have to be from Ireland to enjoy it!)

Horror stories for sheep - no really October 23, 2008
Brilliant writing, lots of laughs, and it's worth the whole season to see Mrs. Doyle giggling in her blue eyeshadow.

funniest show ever April 6, 2007
Get this set if you need something to make you laugh. You will watch this more than once and get others to watch it with you. In my house quoting Father Ted is second only to quoting the Simpsons. You will love it.

Worth a $1000 for the "Speed 3" episode. November 27, 2006
It is probably cheaper and better to buy the box set as there are 5 episodes per disc and 4 discs in total. Father Ted ran for three seasons for a total of 25 episodes. The sound is Dolby 2.0 Stereo. The frame is 1.33:1. It is unknown if Season three was supposed to be another Season one with a shorter run of 6 episodes or 10 episodes as Season two did. In the end we get 8 episodes of Season three. "Are You Right There, Father Ted?" has Ted accidentally appearing looking like Hitler after he is mistaken by a local Chinese community as a fascist. "Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep" is the King of the Sheep 98' competition. If you like sheep you will like this one. "Speed 3" may be one of the funniest television episodes ever when Dougal's milk float is rigged to explode if he drops below 4 mph. This episode is widely considered one of the best, if the not the best comedy TV instalments ever aired. "The Mainland" sees Ted & co. leaving Craggy Island for a trip when all hell breaks loose. Jack goes to an AA meeting! If you want to see a 5 a side - over 75 - football match then look no further than "Escape from Victory". Will Ted's fake rubber arms fool the referee? "Kicking Bishop Brennan up the A*se" is exactly what it means. Here Ted in a forfeit to Dick Burn must kick Bishop Brennan while Dougal takes the photograph. It is a gem in the series. "Night of the Nearly Dead" is a pull on the Irish singer Daniel O' Donnel who is loved by all women over the age of 50. Here he visits Craggy Island to see Mrs. Doyle only for Ted to find that the house is under siege by the elderly-zombies who are dying to see their favorite singer. "Going to America" is the final episode of the series. Her Ted is offered his own parish in California which he thinks he can cash in on. The only catch is that he can't take Dougle, Jack or Mrs. Doyle with him. It ends with a lovely montage of all the episodes. It appears that this episode may have been the last one on the schedule to be shot and that there was talk that Father Ted would end with this season. After shooting Dermot Morgan (Father Ted) announced that "I don't want to be the next Clive Dunn and end up playing the same character for years." This was taken to mean that effectively the Father Ted series had finished. He said that he was working on a new comedy television series. It is believed that this would be about two retired football players living together, but just weeks before the first episode of Season three was to air, during a dinner party in his home, Dermot Morgan had a sudden massive heart attack and died. He was only 45. It seems that the ending of last episode of Season three is still cut short as if something has been removed and the montage put in instead. It actually ends on a sort of a sad note, happy, but sad and a tribute to this great character, man and series. There was nothing like Father Ted and there will never be again.

Few funnier things on TV April 7, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Absolutely hilarious. A sharp, funny look at religion and some of the eccentricities surrounding those who practice it vocationally.
It's difficult to come up with funnier TV than this. If you like british (oh, okay... Irish) comedy, heck, if you have any sense of humor at all, you'll love Father Ted.
