Great series, but NOT for the easily embarrassed 4 out of 5 stars.

What a great show this is! Lisa Kudrow is AMAZING and the casting for all the other parts is perfect!

That being said, you have to be able to deal with the high humiliation factor on this show. I loved the original (british) Office series...The Comeback is almost twice as humiliating/embarrassing imo, and several times I've had to hide my face from the TV due to the utter embarrassment that Lisa's character supplies/aids/witnesses. It's almost too much to bear, so be prepared!

WORST SHOW EVER!!! 1 out of 5 stars.

Without a doubt one of the worst shows I've ever had the displeasure to watch! Lisa Kudrow's character yaps constantly in a horrific, nasally voice and is so annoying you will spend most of the show fighting back the urge to punch the TV to make the torture stop! No surprise the show was canceled after it's first season.. but very surprising it lasted a whole season. Don't waste your money on this show but more importantly, don't waste your time!

All in all, worth a watch. 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

If you are expecting a realistic treatise on the job of the President of the United States of America, DO NOT watch this show. If you are looking for something refreshing, a good looking woman as President, and interesting enough (if not realistic enough) situations in foreign policy, diplomacy, politics and the day-to-day life of "the first family" then WATCH THIS SHOW. You will end up watching these episodes one after another because the storyline keeps you wanting more. There is adequate "hook" in each episode to make you want to watch the next one immediately. All in all, worth a watch.

Best-In-Class Series 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This series is about the the political drama created by the first female president of the United States. The Female President Mackenzie Allen is played superbly by Geena Davis, who does an amazing job in demonstrating how a female would handle difficult situations. For us, this series has become a favorite to watch with teenagers, stopping the DVD at every question to ensure understanding of government, politics, and acronyms. A superb learning tool.

The situations are excellent, the acting, especially by Davis and the Speaker of the House Nathan Templeton, played by Donald Sutherland. As usual, Sutherland is simply magnificent playing a bad guy, in this case a deceptively genial snake, who is after the power of the presidency, thinking that Davis will be easy to beat, but at every turn realizing that "she is a force to be reckoned with" and "smart as a wip!"

Kyle Secor plays the First Gentleman, and he too provides a candid view as to the difficulties a man would encounter if ever in this situation. The staff players are all amazingly interesting, with us hating and loving the White House official and political consultant Dickie McDonald, played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar.

Don't know why this series went off the air, but we sincerely hope it is resurrected. We enjoyed each and every episode!

"Nothing sordid, vulgar, or plebian" 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

"Albert Campion. Born 20 May 1900. Name known to be a pseudonym. Education: privileged. Embarked on adventurous career 1929. Justice neatly executed. Nothing sordid, vulgar, or plebian. Deserving cases preferred, police no object. Business address: 17 Bottle Street, Picadilly, London W1. Specialist in fairy stories."

I watched the Campion series on PBS' "Mystery!" when it first aired - I was only a young teenager, but as a life-long anglophile, not to mention sucker for 1930s mysteries, I was absolutely enamoured. I awaited a re-run of the series (to no avail), but finally we have Mr. Campion and friends on DVD! Peter Davison ("All Creatures Great and Small," "Dr. Who," "The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries") is pitch-perfect as upper-class sleuth Albert Campion, and Brian Glover is incomparable as his manservant/sidekick, Lugg. As with all BBC productions, all details of the series are impeccable, and the scenery is positively delicious. (The Dower House, not to mention the Manor, in "Mystery Mile" is particulary stunning.) Unlike many of his literary peers, Mr. Campion possesses great wit, and uses it disarmingly, even in the most stressful of situations (for instance, when the Bad Guys are practically upon him - hardly a time for anyone but our hero Campion to be cracking wise! -- most people just can't carry that sort of thing off, dontcha know...). Even that other high-tone sleuth Lord Peter Whimsey can't match Mr. Campion! Sit back, watch the adventures of Campion, and have a spot of fun!

Editorial Review:

Behind his distinctive owlish glasses and gentle deceptive naivete Albert Campion conceals a passion for excitement and danger. Peter Davison (All Creatures Great and Small Doctor Who) plays Margery Allingham's enigmatic sleuth with Brian Glover as his loyal but slightly shady manservant in these classic mysteries set in the 1930's.Running Time: 440 min.System Requirements:Running Time 440 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MYSTERY/SUSPENSE Rating: NR UPC: 794051196620 Manufacturer No: E1966

Great and prophetical series 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I was really intrigued by this series when it first came out in the US and was disappointed when it was pulled out. Probably the thought that it might make the Hillary Clinton candidacy stronger is what triggered the withdrawal of the series. It is ironic now that the Republican Party has the scenario depicted in the series. Who knows whether in the future this series may be considered prophetic ...

At any rate, the series is very well written, the performances by Geena Davies and the other actors are really good, and it is worth buying for your personal film library.

Very interesting! 5 out of 5 stars.

Even funnier 5 out of 5 stars.

Cioupling is even funnier in the second season. By now, if you have seen the first season (if not you must) you know the characters and you sympathise with them and you attempt to predict what will happen next. You actually can't as it is funnier than you think.
Buy it and laugh over and over again

One of the Funniest TV Shows Ever 5 out of 5 stars.

Coupling is pure British genius. This is one of the funniest TV series I have ever seen. An incredible combination of high-brow and lowbrow humor, Coupling never fails to make me laugh. Season Two is just as funny as the original season, so if you enjoyed Season One and haven't yet bought this one, do yourself a favor and get it now.

Season One, Part Two 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The second season of "Coupling" is just as funny as the first and the writing is even sharper.

Although a lot of people like to compare this show to America's "Friends," I instead found the storylines and writing to be more on par with "Seinfeld" in the show's ability to draw very funny storylines together into great endings. (That was what made the other classic BBC show "Fawlty Towers" such a work of genius).

The cast also does a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life.

Laugh out loud funny.

My husband and I saw the pilot episode of Corner Gas back in 2004 while we were on our honeymoon in Niagara Falls. We laughed our butts off! For our third anniversary this year, I decided to see if I could track down the show, whose name we didn't recall, as a surprise for him. We're now halfway through Season 2, have Season 3 waiting in the wings, and already pre-ordered Season 4.

We have been stumped a few times by "inside" references, but hey, that's what Google is for! What a great show. We love the quirky dialogue and sight gags. Can't wait for Season 5 to make it to us on DVD!

Great! 5 out of 5 stars.

I stumbled upon Corner Gas one Monday night, flipping through the channels with nothing to watch. I settled on Corner Gas, since my friend said that it was funny. It was "American in Saskatchewan" and it was hilarious. Every Monday night after that we sit down to watch Corner Gas. I can't wait for Season Four!

Go Dog River! 4 out of 5 stars.

The third season is hilarious. The interaction between the characters has matured as the seasons have moved forward. The actors are more comfortable with their roles and are extremely funny.

This was a gift for my Dad. It got there relatively promptly (was a little late). He loves it, watched it in the airport and said he cried the whole way from laughing so hard.

The Best "Reality" TV Out There 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

When I saw this DVD at my local Cracker Barrel, I hesitated to purchase it - but only briefly. I can still remember laughing until I cried when I watched this show as a child and I'm happy to say that decades later, I laugh just as I hard when I pop this baby into my DVD player. In fact, I've watched it a couple of times and I'm STILL laughing!

Only Alan Funt perfected the art of granting us the opportunity to "watch people being themselves". He did this by placing people in various, unexpected situations that were either comical, crazy, or even at times "Twilight Zone-ish". The comedy results as we watch the unsuspecting performers as they react to their respective situations. Some of my personal favorites: the talking horse; the motorless vehicle; the stenographer; the talking mailbox; the sideways elevator; and a host of other snippets that had me laughing so hard my sides ached.

For those of you who may not be familiar with Candid Camera, this isn't just another one of "America's Funniest Home Videos". There are no scenes of motorcycle or three-wheeler wipe-outs, no one falls 8 or 10 feet off a stage or anything else, and you won't see anyone puking on screen, either. Candid Camera is fresh, innovative, funny, and wonderfully lacking in anything that could be deemed offensive or disgusting.

Another unique addition to this DVD is several interviews with young children. "Out of the Mouths of Babes" is never without its charm - and with Alan Funt as the interviewer, it's even more endearing. I'm sure that this DVD will keep me laughing for years to come.
