Eric Feeble is 40, a divorced father with two kids and a crippling mortgage. His son is thick, his daughter is allergic to everything and his au-pair is an unreliable waster. The successful and wealthy Perfect family, who live next door, provide a constant and irritating reminder of what his life could have been. At work, a series of stress related illnesses have seen him demoted from Sales through half a dozen offices to the dark, dank wastelands of the Data Department, next to the Gentlemen’s lavatory. Through it all Eric battles on, a man whose very survival each week against impossible odds makes him an ulcer-growing hero for our times.
As soon as i realized this was available I just had to buy it. I remember watching it many years ago and laughing my head off. Needless to say its just as funny as I remember it. Essentially the story-line is based around Eric who has a beyond stressful life. The conundrums he gets himself into are hilarious and the writers are genius. He lives with an alcoholic, has two less than perfect children, one who is allergic to almost anything and another who is less than dim. Slap in an annoying ex wife, a mad crazy boss and neighbours called the perfects, Eric Feeble does have an incredibly funny life to watch.
