 Jeeves and Wooster March Into The Twenty-first Century
The frequency with which the term 'Jeeves' is used without further explanation in the media of today, and its inclusion as a generic term in the Oxford English Dictionary, suggests that P G Wodehouse's Jeeves, together with his principal employer Bertie Wooster, remain the most popular of his many enduring characters.

Any Jeeves fan must have noticed that the full novels are really a series of wild incidents put in to to stretch out a pretty flimsy plot premise.
We start with Jeeves' first appearance "Jeeves Takes Over." The other stories seem all to take place in New York City; and in two of them, Bertie is required to relinquish his flat so that some elderly relative of a friend will think it is the flat of the nephew.
The Jeeves and Wooster stories generally follow the same template, the young, wealthy airhead Wooster or one of his upper-crust pals gets in some sticky social situation, and it is up to his genius butler Jeeves to devise an ingenious solution to the quandary.

Pauline Stoker escapes from her father's yacht and ends up in Bertie's heliotrope pajamas; Bertie sleeps in potting sheds and summer houses; valet Brinkley (“versatile chap”) burns down a cottage and runs amuck with carving knives, choppers, and potatoes; Bertie spends much of his time covered in burnt cork; and Glossop and Bertie reach détente.
Jeeves doesn't have much to do, and the plot and Bertie-isms seem to be largely recycled from previous novels.
