I want to be Miranda When I grow up!

Like most reviews on here I also stumbled upon this show by accident. I'm so glad I did! Being myself, what is considered a quirky person as well as unmarried and without children at thirty three; I can relate to what it's like to be her character. The difference is her being okay with that and how she approaches it, outside her mother constantly reminding her (which btw.... is how my mother is, daily). :) Although they seem to disagree deep down both Miranda and her mother depend on each other and share little inside jokes while having each other's backs; the little mutual victories they share together always make me smile.

"Miranda" is one of my second favorite British sitcom, "Absolutley Fabulous" will always be my number one, there is no competing with Monsoon and Patsy's sheer ridiculous and genuine behavior. I wish more US comedies could imitate these great TV series, I always find myself rewatching and wanting more when I've gone through all Seasons. The "properness" of certain words that are equivelant to US words in British comedies make it even more enticing for me to watch (obviously being from the US; embarrassed to admit but Florida of all places). For example, passing gas = Winds, snacks = nibbles and there are many more.

So, Net/Net as I stated I want to be Miranda and look at life from a non cynical and almost whimsical childlike point of view; just happy being her and living on her own. Absolutely (no Pun intended) how she engages with the home audience, and there are certain times she actually gets mocked by other characters for that!

Thanks BBC for making me laugh!

P.S. Little Britian comes in at a strong third followed with Tracey Ullman show.

score 10/10
