"Allo Allo!" Has been around since 1982 and has just recently become available in the USA on a decent media.
Basic story is of a café owner René Artois (Gorden Kaye); this is in France during the WWII occupation. He must balance dealing with the local Germans, the Gestapo, the good Resistance, the commie Resistance, having affairs with his female help, dealing with his wife and mother-in-law.
In series six the fun does not stop. However you see some different people. A few of the originals are left. Fun as this is, one can tell that they are running out of ideas and in desperate effort to keep up the energy go a little over the deep end even for "Allo Allo." And surprise Edith (Carmen Silvera) can really dance.
One nice thing about this series is that they place the name next to the actor at the end of each episode. Most of the actors are well known out side of this series. I was shocked however to find that Gestapo Herr Otto Flick (Richard Gibson) Played British Capt. Newman in Ken Follett's "The Key to Rebecca" (1985) and completely changed his accent.
