a
series of quick fire
sketches; Just heading into my teens when the show first started Three
of a Kind was safe enough for the whole family to watch and nowhere near
as full on as Not the Nine O’ Clock News; Like any sketch show the
material is hit and miss but by not focusing so much on topical material
much of it is still pretty funny today, Lenny gets to do his David
Bellamy impersonation and Tracey gets to sing some Motown style songs (Ullman
actually had a background in West End musicals) and Copperfield gets to
stand around and wonder why his career after Three of a Kind isn’t
going to take of.
One
very positive aspect of this Cinema Club release of the entire first
season is that the regular musical interludes that cropped up each week
have been left in (so many of these types of releases end up not
including these for copyright reasons) so we have the opportunity to see
Toni Basil’s eye popping Mickey routine as well as the likes
