Everything "Are You Being Served?" Reviewed

Are You Being Served? (1972-1985) Original TV Show IMDB 8.0/10 ME 8/10
The staff of the men's and ladies department of the Grace Brothers department store encounter many comedic adventures. This in my mind is one of the best comedy TV shows ever made.

Are You Being Served? (1977) Movie IMDB 6.1/10 ME 7/10
The first half is the same as the show, the second half is them on vacation. There is an attempted revolution, and Mr. Grace ends up saving them.

Are You Being Served in Australia? (1980-1981) Spin-off TV Show IMDB 6.2/10 ME 6/10
Mr. Humphries is sent to Australia by Young Mr. Grace to head the men's department at Bone Brothers department store. The staff closely look like the staff of Grace Brothers. This is not up to the standard of the original show, but was more than a pass for me. I liked it enough, but as I say, not as much as the original. It's the same formula however.

Are You Being Served Again? (1992-1993) Spin-off TV Show IMDB 7.7/10 ME 5/10
The people from the show end up running a hotel in the countryside. It's a pass, but not nearly up the the quality of the original show.

Are You Being Served? (2016) TV Movie - a try at a reboot. IMDB 5.7/10 ME 8/10
An attempt to modernize the 1st floor by the grandson of Young Mr. Grace. It's only 31 minutes long, and was very reminiscent of the original show. There is of course a couple of people played by different actors, and a new character.

Are You Being Served? In Quarantine (2020) Short film IMDB NR/10 ME 7/10
(zoom call) 3:25 minutes, not all original people. It's funny enough for me to enjoy. Rather liked it.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

My New Cuisinox Moka Pot

1. My friend Earth sent me the Moka pot I had in my Amazon Wishlist. I'm very grateful to have it, as the old one died (seal went) and I could not get parts to fix it. I'm very happy to have this. I was going to get one next month, but it would have been 2 weeks until I could get one and that long without a nice strong mug of coffee is a horrible fate to say the least. The French press makes coffee, but it's very much NOT strong and lacks the rich flavor that comes out of the Moka pot. 2. There she is, it's bigger than the old one but is supposed to make the same amount of coffee (9 espresso cups). 3. Here it is with the water in the base like you are supposed to do. It does indeed hold slightly more water than the old one does. 4. Nicely filled with Lavazza Rosa coffee (espresso). You don't want to over-fill it, just a bit from the top and don't pack it too tight. I wish I had one of those whisk tools for this task, they tend to make it slightly better, as it t
