    A Brilliant Show!

    Holding the baby has to be one of the funniest comedies have watched, it always made me laughed and the acting was brilliant. I still have episodes of Holding the baby on tape and wish they would repeat it or bring it back for a new series. This is one of the best comedies ever. A show you can watch over and over again and never get bored.
