When Things Were Rotten is a comical Robin Hood parody created in 1975 by Mel Brooks, Norman Stiles, and John Boni. Robin Hood - who is not the brightest character - along with the incompetent members of his gang in Sherwood Forest will keep you laughing with sight gags, comical dialog, over-the-top anachronisms and a witty theme song. There's plenty of skillful comedic acting from the series cast, including Dick Gautier as Robin Hood, | When Things Were Rotten | | DVD | Best Buy
