I concur, for the Jeeves we know. But if he changed that, if Jeeves was less suave and more snark- how would that change every aspect of the show? Bertie would have to be a lot thicker, much like the Prince. I think dogwoodblossum is quite right to say that it would end up being much like Blackadder, but could the cannon ever quite reassert itself? Would it be different than Blackadder, or would it be more of the same but in 1920?

Weighty thoughts for a Wodehousian.
