 Father Ted   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Likewise, Father Ted concerns Ted Crilly, a priest exiled to a parish on tiny, remote Craggy Island in Ireland, where he is forced to deal with characters (mainly his fellow clergymen) who seem to have varying degrees of humorous mental defects.
But in Father Ted, while Ted Crilly often reacts with dismay at the antics of his cohorts, he is essentially as peculiar as they are, which robs the audience of anyone with whom they can identify: it’s a top spinning out of control.
In “Good Luck, Father Ted,” Ted contends with the eye-rolling stupidity of his second in command Father Dougal, while Father Jack, an elderly priest, is reduced to little more than spouting “Feck off!” at regular intervals (which is pretty much the fate of the character throughout the series).

 Television Heaven
Surreal, silly and very very funny, Father Ted was a sitcom that not so much thumbed its nose at some of Irish cultures most sacred cows, but rather brazenly bludgeoned them to death with a gleefully wielded sledgehammer.
Along with Ted is his young, inexperienced, child-like and likeable, but staggeringly stupid curate, Father Dougal Maguire (a perfectly judged performance of almost breath-taking empty headedness by young stand-up comedian Ardal O'Hanlon), and the alcoholically hazed, psychopathically monosyllabic retired veteran cleric, Father Jack Hackett (seasoned character actor Frank Kelly).
Although Father Ted's run was short by successful television comedy standards, its impact on viewers was both instantaneous and enduring.
