2. why isn't the fry/laurie jeeves & wooster more popular?
I love it dearly, but even I found it a little tiresome by mid-season three. I think being crammed into an hour-long show each time hurts the stories; some of them need less time and some need more, but they all get inflated, conflated or deflated to fit the time-box of television. So, some of the episodes feel blown-out, empty and weightless, and some feel cramped, heavy and exhausting. Laurie and Fry are always irresistable, but when the pacing is too frenetic or too slow, the episode as a whole suffers, regardless of their charms. Also, it's bit repetitive. The fourth time Bertie has to steal something or face engagement to Random Society Shrew, you can't help starting to yawn a little.
