I love J&W! I love the breezy comedic writing. I love how PG writes first person clueless Wooster and you still understand what exactly is going on. I have no idea what order I read them in, I just remember loving them from the start. Possibly I did start with later ones where you develop affection for Bertie as a lovable idiot. Also the affection between Wooster and Jeeves is or becomes obvious. I think Jeeves strikes the right note between letting the characters suffer the consequences of their own mistakes and swooping in to save them last minute as his previous machinations become clear. Also it's fine with me if Jeeves himself is the one who benefits the most - he's the one having to do all the work!
If you like the writing style but not the characters you might try Wodehouse's other works. I don't remember enjoying anything else by him quite as much, and certainly nothing else by him is as popular still as J&W, but tastes vary.
My husband enjoyed the series with Fry and Laurie, although I never really did. You certainly might, I dunno. However, having to sit through some of the scenes real-time is kinda cringe-inducing. Much easier to read a breezy summary with Wooster's humourous idioms thrown in :-)
