I kind of think the show also makes Jeeves nicer than he seems in the books. In the books is either very stuffed frog, or Bertie understatement, but Fry has much more expressions than 'stuffed' uh, frog that is, that wasn't a euphemism. But Bertie is always the smartest of the drones. Unlike, say Bingo, Bertie admits he falls in love with a profile, and right back out again. Bingo sees no worries with how he falls in and out of love, or drags his friends into situs and never learns anything. I also think Bertie does grow after being exposed to Jeeves. Jeeves molds him, if you will, by being an example of what a brain is for. All the smart people in Bertie's life had been out for themselves, scheming to get this cow creamer or that woman, whatever. jeeves is the first person to come along and make things better for other people. He gets paid well and tipped, yes, but he doesn't do it for that reason. He does it to make Bertie happy.
