We watch this series over and over.  It has one of the best casts around.  Everyone fits their part perfectly.  Of course anything with Judi Dench in it is usually well worth watching.  Each of the other members of the cast fit their parts perfectly, even with Ms. Dench it is not a one person show.

After the addition of Adam Scott and Rob Lowe at the end of season 2 Parks & Rec really hit its stride in season 3.  This show has so much going for it, the acting from the ensemble cast and the writing are top notch but the biggest thing is its heart.  In a time when every show seems cynical and jaded this show isn't afraid to tell happy stories about people who really care about each other.  I can (and do) watch this show over and over again because it's just so wonderful.

I wish more shows had this much class. I love the tender hearted convicts and their helpful little friend Adolph.

You don't have to be old as dirt to appreciate this wonderful family television program. In a society that makes it so difficult to view something  entertain that children can watch and one with good moral values, this is a series that can fill that void. I grew up watching the Beaver and these first episodes are a great start to watch and share with todays generations. It is a wonderful trip down memory lane for all who grew up watching the Beaver. Good never gets old.

I loved watching this series. I originally watched on PBS in the early 80s. It was so nice to revisit my old friends.

this show is more than two decades old and it's still dang funny. My husb and I watch a couple every night before bed and we sleep better for the laughs and giggles it gives us.

The video quality is fine for budget type discs. there's an occassional drop out in signal, but it's brief. We haven;t discovered any episodes to be missing. Akll the discs are in separate paper sleeves and all are labelled with the season number.

This is a small price to pay for so much entertainment. When we finish all the seasons, I'm betting we run through them again.

I got this for Christmas as a gift from my mother and grandmother. I've grown up watching The Nanny and The Golden Girls and I have always wanted to have this on DVD but it wasn't available until this past year and they both pitched in and bought it for me. Thankfully! It's so nice to finally have to chance to watch this show now as an adult and from start to finish and watch the characters grow and go through many changes. This is such a good comedy as well as romance involved. Everyone is very funny in this show and the characters are interesting. I highly recommend this show! It can be hard to watch for some people because of how different shows were back then as well as filming styles but I love this so much and will never get bored of it.

The theme songs also catchy and this show brings back so much feelings and memories from my childhood when I'd watch this with my grandparents.  It's just one of those shows that you hold on to.

I remember watching these shows as a child, and I loved them then and even more now that I'm an adult in my 50s. If you're ever feeling blue or just tired of the rat race, hopping on the Hooterville Cannonball and spending some time at the Shady Rest is like tonic to the soul.

The bonus features are wonderful also and Linda Kaye Henning's commentary is superb. I'm so thrilled these old friends are once again back in my life. I hope they'll come out with all seven seasons of this classic show.

I missed this series for years after it went off the air. Just watching these episodes reminds me of my childhood and when I would watch it on Saturday mornings. It's been said before, but this show is from when TV cartoons were actually worth something. I'm big on nostalgia and if you enjoyed this series a child, then I suggest buying even if only for sentimental reasons. Watching this show I can almost get the feeling the 1980's really haven't gone away...

I bought this for my siblings, but I am not sure who enjoyed it more. Yes it is an older show and not as well done as modern ones, but this one has a charm about it. It has medical drama, fun characters, and memorable stories. It is also a show my siblings and I can really enjoy together.

It's nice going back in time to watch a tv show and it follows none of the cliches that have existed over the past like 15 years. It's pretty refreshing.

It's a great show full of rich textures and lustrous weaves of the have and have nots and how they interact. The characters are delicious and you get drawn into their world. The term "the good old days" refers only to the privileged. If you were the working class or lower, there was nothing good about it.

I remembered this series from many years ago when it began being shown on PBS. It was pulled because of complaints.  I'm Catholic and I can't imagine anyone being offended at this show.  It's an affectionate humourous view of the relationship between an old, nearing retirement priest and his newly ordained young 'modern' curate.  Set in the late 1950s, provides a nostalgic look at the church.

Other reviews have provided details, so I won't repeat them. But I want to encourage Catholics who might be wary to give it a watch.  The teasing is good-natured and loving, not critical nor mean-spirited like so many shows aimed at the Church are these days.

This series is a work of genius. It has long been my favorite show. The first season began when I got out of the service and I can't remember just how many episodes I watched, but now an "old Fool" like grandpa, my wife and I see all that we have missed in life lived by "family".
This country would have been very different if it had followed along with The Waltons. It has long been my theory that families were intentionally divided to make more consumers. That has alienated us in a way that will never return until it all collapses.
It is very comforting for us in our late years to be able to watch the complete series again.
