Those books are some of the zaniest farces ever written and a delight to read. A friend of mine recently lent me the first season of the TV series on DVD. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they captured Wodehouse's prose. Furthermore, they add context visually in a way that doesn't come through in the books.
By the way, is Wodehouse pronounced /Wood-house/ or /Woad-house/? I've heard both used, but someone told me Wodehouse himself pronounced it /Wood-house/.
It's /Wood-house/.
The first two seasons of the TV series are perfect - the second two are a bit inferior, because a different director took over and seemed to think he needed to add occasional elements of slapstick to the show - a decision which misses Wodehouse's point entirely. Seasons three and four are still worth getting, though, mostly because Fry and Laurie are so perfect in the roles.
