And I agree. I always thought Hill was funnier and more clever than
MP. I know that's blasphemous to say in a MP newsgroup. Now don't get
me wrong. I love MP. I laugh my ass off when I watch them. And
sketches like the dead parrot, the cheese shop, the argument clinic
and Wuthering Heights in semaphore are pure brilliance. But *on the
whole* I always found Hill to be more *consistently* clever. And, of
course, MP never had anything like Hill's Angels! :-) Needless to say,
YMMV.
