I can add a confession here and I'm afraid I have to warn you that it deals with some past negativity but believe me I feel really, really bad about it now. Oh dear... *takes a deep breath* The first time I watched Jeeves and Wooster I only made it about 5 minutes into the first episode, then decided that kind of humor was way too silly for me and gave up on it. Forgive me, but to tell you the ugly truth, back then I simply could not stand seeing "that House actor" not being able to get a single word out. I thought that it was terribly annoying and stupid and I just hated it. 😳 Later after reading Wodehouse I returned to the TV series and became a fan.
I had a similar reaction! Back in 2006 or so. I thought all the "I say!" stuff was pretty embarrassing and cringeworthy and I didn't get the humor. I couldn't believe what "that House actor" used to look/sound like. But I finished the episode, and then the series, and now I can't see him as anything but extremely adorable and handsome in it. And I came to appreciate the humor a lot.
