Oh No, Not Them

About This Movie

Oh No, Not Them is this curious piece of late '80s television, a pilot that never saw the light of day. It’s an American attempt to capture the chaotic spirit of The Young Ones, but it misses the mark in a way that’s almost charming. The pacing is erratic, which fits its offbeat humor, and the performances often feel like they’re on the edge of breaking character, adding to the overall absurdity. The practical effects are minimal but serviceable, relying more on the antics of the cast than on any flashy gimmicks. There’s something to be said about its failed ambition; it’s reminiscent of that quirky British sensibility but somehow feels distinctly American and a bit lost in translation.

Untransmitted pilot exploring comedic chaos.American adaptation of a British cult classic.Curious failure with a distinct atmosphere.
