Klovn

Klovn is a Danish sitcom that ran in the late 00's. It's the type of comedy anchored to awkward situations. This could make Ricky Gervais wince. I had heard about it for several years and finally got around to watching it a year or two ago, but it took me a long time to make the files so that they will play in antiquated disc players. It's available on Amazon, minus the 2010 movie, for $498! Anyway. I enjoyed it. Sometimes I think the real star of this is Mia Lyhne as Frank "the clown"'s girl friend. If you go back 45 - 50 years to Till Death Us Do Part, those episodes usually featured 3 of the 4 main cast members "embroiled in conversation" and there in the middle sat Una Stubbs with very few lines. Rather than just sit there she did a great job just using body language. In this show Mia did a wonderful job using body language to express her pain (and occasional joy).
