It's Like, You Know... (1999–2001)
10/10
Too clever and witty to last
17 January 2007
This was a clever and witty satire of US, particularly LA, lifestyle. Way better than Seinfield, whose humor could only come from nasty petty barbs at people. "It's like you know" never stooped so low and therefore never insulted your intelligence. For goodness sake Seinfield even advertised itself as a series about nothing! What a rip off of the American viewer! This series deserved a longer run, it reminded me of My World and Welcome to it, based on the writings of James Thurber. Comedy series which hold a mirror up to the American people do not seem to do well unless they relentlessly keep assuring the audience that everything is wonderful in America. Woe betide them if they suggest that the US is entertainment for the rest of the world. Isn't it about time America grew up and started laughing at it's acidities? WHERE is the DVD of this series? No one seems to know and no answer seems to be forthcoming - with all the old series out on DVD you would think that it would be easy for a relatively recent series to be brought out on DVD.
