Finally! 5 out of 5 stars.

While I agree that the marketing strategy for the US and Canadian release of Kate & Allie left a lot to be desired, I am happy that these wonderful episodes made it to DVD at all. The casting, the writing, the acting... Watching these shows feels like coming home... and I have lived in Norway all my life!

The Best Of The Kids in the Hall, Vol. 2

Editorial Review:
Brilliant, absurd, and utterly unconventional comedians. THE KIDS IN THE HALL created some of the strangest and most memorable characters and catch phrases in television history. The Kids brought to life a bevy of edgy, irreverent, and still charming characters, from listless anal probing aliens to B-movie star Francesca Fiore and the legendary Chicken Lady. This unpredictable and wildly inventive collection of the best sketches from Season 3 and 4 of the Kids’ groundbreaking series is a huge treat for fans and an eye-opening (and possibly head-crushing) delight for the uninitiated. It’s a fact!

Editorial Review:
James Wilby (Gosford Park) and Juliet Aubrey (Middlemarch) portray the reluctant royals who became king and queen of England when Edward VIII gave up the throne for the woman he loved, on Bertie & Elizabeth. Albert, Duke of York, called Bertie, married Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923 after a storybook courtship. Expecting a life of genteel obscurity, they were thrust into the limelight in 1936 when Bertie's older brother, Edward VIII, abdicated to marry the twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson. Shy, modest, and a habitual stutterer, Bertie was crowned King George VI just as his country faced the onslaught of World War II. With the help of his devoted Elizabeth, he rose magnificently to the challenge. Bertie & Elizabeth also stars Alan Bates (Love in a Cold Climate) as Bertie's father, King George V; Eileen Atkins (currently starring with Bates and Wilby in Gosford Park) as his mother, Queen Mary; Charles Edwards as Edward VIII; Amber Rose Sealey as Wallis Simpson; David Ryall as Winston Churchill; Robert Hardy (Lucky Jim) as President Franklin Roosevelt; and Corin Redgrave (Persuasion) as General Bernard Montgomery.

Takes On Too Much 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
I found KINGS AND QUEEN to be long and tedious. I think the film attempts to be too many things at once and its scattered focus is not as avant garde as it is irritating. It would have been a stronger film had it narrowed in on only a few core characters and become deeply introspective. Instead, the length, the melodrama and the would-be comic edge dilute the impact of the overall film even if it is riveting to hear a father posthumously tell a daughter that he couldn't love her. This is at the center of the movie, and more should have been built around this.
Editorial Review:
Expertly mixing comedy, tragedy and melodrama, Kings and Queen tells the story of two former lovers who find their lives linked once again, inexplicably. Nora (Emmanuelle Devos) is a 35-year old art gallery director and single mother who has been unlucky in love until now when she meets a successful businessman. When a crisis occurs, Nora must track down her ex-husband, Ismaël (Mathieu Amalric) a disheveled neurotic musician who has descended into a comic nighmare and is mistakenly committed to a mental hospital under the control of a steely clinical psychiatrist (Catherine Deneuve). As their worlds collide, the stage is set for a truly unforgettable ending. Internationally acclaimed director Arnaud Desplechin (Esther Kahn, My Sex Life…) presents an exhilarating new film that is one of the best reviewed movies of the year.

Lots of fun and laughs.I hope they don't take as long to release the rest of the seasons.For those of us who are not amused by todays tacky sit-coms Kate and Allie offers hours of well written,decent entertainment!
Classic and enduring 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Susan Saint James and Jane Curtin return for the third season of this classic, endearing '80s sitcom as two divorced moms, sharing a New York City apartment to help make ends meet.
With their children - Kate's Emma and Allie's Chip and Jennie - the lifelong best friends get into their shares of hijinks. They also support one another through emotional crises, as seen in "Thanksgiving," where Allie finds herself alone with Charles' new wife Claire.
This great box set is definitely worth your time and money!

Hands Down Kate & Allie is My Favorite TV Show 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.
I never get tired of watching Kate & Allie. It was difficult to find in reruns (for some reason) and so I am very glad to be able to pop in a DVD and watch it whenever I like. As a New Yorker, I also like seeing the opening scenes of Kate & Allie walking around the city and talking. By the way, it is clearly typed as Susan Saint James on each of the DVD collections and not Susan St. James, as suggested by another reviewer here. P.S. Jane Curtin is probably the funniest actress since Carol Burnett, my other favorite.
Who doesn't love Kate & Allie? 5 out of 5 stars.

I loved watching this show as a kid and it's even better now. I can't wait for the fifth season!
Kate and Allie/DVD series 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Well, Kate & Allie is one of the BEST of the CBS types, of comedy series. The script writing is smart, but not self-indulgent .. and Jane Curtin and Susan St. James form a FINE, comedy-type of (female) protagonists. .. Moreover, the plots are fairly-original, and there is .. still .. and enduring quality .. to the entire series .. such as it was. (IMHO, of course!)
kate & allie 5 out of 5 stars.

Love Hyacinth! 5 out of 5 stars.

We laughed non-stop. The episodes were very funny and the editing was good. We especially enjoyed the outake scenes.
Hilarious 4 out of 5 stars.

Extremely funny. Patricia Routledge, who is Hyacinth, is of course immensely talented and quite capable of carrying a series based on this character alone. However, she's surrounded by a talented cast, and they've all got some mighty fine writing to work with. So now, of course, I have to order more Hyacinth. One DVD is not enough.

This is Our Hyacinth at her comedic peak. 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 5 people found this review helpful.
In this gem Our Hyacinth unleashes her considerable operatic powless upon us and all I can say is God Save the Queen. This grouping contains among other things Our Hyacinth trying like heck to land a major part in Emmits play "The Boyfriend". Our Hyacinth's comedic timing is flawless throughout this masterpiece of brit com. The most wonderful abet chilling moment in the one of the selections comes when Our Hyacinth stays a few minutes to put a few beautiful young ladies through their paces. Hyacinth is at first lecturing the good ladies in word and finally by searing painful example of with her amazingly tedious and time worn vocal instrument. The results are without a doubt hallarious as her voice thunders through the church hall driving everyone within earshot into deep cover. Fade in to another location to find, the Vicar of the parish, Richard, the Vicars good lady wife and two or three fine ladies in 20's flapper attire couched beneath an old church hall stage. What totally kills me is how everyone is gone and Hyacinth is oblious to their departure still giving pointers to ladies long since gone. And what advice she gives. Hyacinth says, and Ladies Notice my diction, its so important that the audience hear the words! The other thing is aweful as her voice is it carries like a fog horn on a still night.
Meanwhile Our Hyacinth as usual in totally oblivious self absorbed blissful glee continues to completion her rendition of the lead song "The called Boyfriend". What makes this scene of Hyacinth singing the Boyfriend so terribly funny is how convincing she is making you see she is deadly serious in thinking her voice represents nothing but the absolute height of professional quality in every way. That is the MAGic of Hyacinth Bucket. If we the audience thought for just one second Hyacinth did not have absolute faith in her every ability the jokes would fall flat. It is Hyacinth's indomitable faith that her every word is right, her instincts regards the finer things in life and the social graces will always be unerringly right that makes her so funny special and without peer.
Another weird fact. I heard Patricia Routledge sing for real in another series where she played a older detective sort of like a more jazzy up to date Mrs. Marple. In fact Patricia Routledge has a wonderful voice and she can sing too, I was impressed. They say that to really know how to sound bad when you sing you have to be blessed with a good singing voice and knowledge of how to use it. Trust me Patricia Routledge wins on both counts she has a terrific singing voice in real life and she obviously has a deep enough understanding of how to sing properly to really mangle every possible rule of good singing to death as Our Hyacinth. The Boyfriend is Patricia Routledge's tour de force as Our Hyacinth, this is her master work not to be eclipsed. If you do not buy this copy of Keeping Up Appearances you do yourself a shockingly criminal neglect. You will not and never will be the full and well rounded culturally effeat icon of social moral and political rectitude our Hyacinth wanted you to be without this as part of your Keeping Up Appearances collection.
This is a MUST have group of episodes for any fan of Our Hyacinth Bucket. I would certainly buy this grouping of Keeping Up Appearances episodes for to hear Hyacinth singing Boyfriend by itself. The Boyfiend episode is not in the boxed set so if you want to squirm in your seat to the sounds of Hyacinth butchering I mean singing "The Boyfriend" you simply must buy this DVD set. I only givw thia episode five stars because, I can not give it one billion. Anyway go buy this DVD so you too can laugh yourself silly. Make sure if you watch this episode you do not take high tea with your Royal Delton, with the blue perrywinkles painted on. If you are having your high tea while watching the boyfriend you want to be drinking from a plain beaker \ cup hopefully one of Daisy's finest.
Ok go buy it now!
