Review of When Things Were Rotten

When I heard Mel Brooks was making a television show of Robin Hood, I couldn't wait to see it - and the wait was worthwhile. "When Things Were Rotten" was way ahead of its time.This was a really funny t.v. show and I am not sure why it was cancelled. It gave me many laughs and I wish there was a channel on television for failed TV shows and pilots etc. so we could relive some of our youth through laughter, and share my experience of this show with my children. I felt the cast was perfection but haven't seem much of them since. Dick Gautier as Robin Hood was superb. He seemed to have the right combination of good looks and dopey-ness. Richard Dimitri in his dual role of good guy/bad guy was priceless. Silliness is very appealing and this show was silly.
