| BSG Review: |
Despite being one of the most popular British sitcoms ever
this show isn't particularly well remembered anymore. The
surviving black and white episodes of "The Army Game"
are not near as funny now as they once were, the topics discussed
have long disappeared and the cheap and quick production values
show, however the success it once had shows what a great comedy
it was in its time.
