Not closed captioned (!), otherwise I like it... 3 out of 5 stars.

This is the first series on DVD I bought that's NOT closed captioned, but its saving grace is that it has English subtitles, so this makes up for it. Bonus features on other series sets aren't CC, but what's cool about this one is the bonuses here in the form of other shows--Kate & Allie, Charles in Charge, and Gimme a Break 2nd season premiere--are indeed available subtitled.
That said, I forgot all about the funny aquarium water incident. Won't say here what it is but you'll understand once you see the opening credits. But another incident happens there (in another episode) that I never got to see, and this one really cracked me up.
Editorial Review:
Nell Carter shines as Nellie Ruth "Nell" Harper, the role that twice earned her Emmy(r) and Golden Globe Award nominations, and helped redefine the meaning of "family." Available for the first time ever on DVD, Gimme a Break! is the funny, hip and sometimes poignant portrayal of the Kanisky family: widowed Police Chief Carl; his three daughters Katie, Julie and Samantha; and their unflappable housekeeper-turned-surrogate mother (Carter). This 3-disc set includes all 19 episodes from Season One, as well as a preview from Season Two, bonus episodes from the smash-hit sitcoms Kate and Allie and Charles in Charge, and a special featurette that takes a look back at other great TV shows of the eighties. Featuring renowned guest stars such as Danny Glover, Rue McClanahan and Helen Hunt, Gimme a Break! is the beloved sitcom that delivers both love and laughs.

They don't do TV like this anymore 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
I really loved this show. They don't do television like this anymore. I don't care what anyone say, the 80's was the best decade for quality t.v. Things sorta went down hill after that. Gimme A Break is one of those shows that I loved and always will. I'm so glad they are going back into the archives and bringing back quality t.v shows like this. I plan to collect every season. Unfortunately, the late Nell Carter is no longer with us. If it weren't for her, this show wouldn't be worth seeing. I can still hear her amazing voice singing the theme song, "Gimme a break I sure deserve it." Boy those were the days!! Rest in peace Nell, finally you have been given a well deserved break.
Editorial Review:
NTSC/Region 1. Three DVD set containing the complete second season of this TV series starring Nell Carter. Gimme A Break was an '80s sitcom that helped to redifine family and television. This triple DVD set features all 22 episodes of the second season and features guest appearances from Don Rickles, Michael Dudikoff, The Pointer Sisters and other memorable moments. It's real. It's funny. It's real funny! VE. 2007. * Please note you will need a Multi-Region and/or a dual PAL/NTSC DVD player to view.
