Rating: - Don't forget the children!
I simply had to have this and get my children to watch it (11-16 years). They love it and the Goods have us all in stitches. Most of the younger generation have missed out, such a pity!

Richard Briers, Felicity Kendall, Penelope Keith and Paul Eddington are hilarious and all favourites. Penelope Keith is in To The Manor Born too, so if you think she's funny you have to see these too!

Rating: - not complete series 1
Serves me right for not reading the other reviews before buying, but when it says 'complete series 1' it really ought to be the complete series, not missing one episode. I would have bought the 'collection' had I known and got episodes from series 2 and 3 for the same money.

Rating: - Great but incomplete
While the Good Life is one of the best BBC comedies ever, this DVD is lacking. It only includes 6 of the 7 episodes from season 1. Episode 7, Backs to the Wall, where the Good's first harvest is nearly ruined by a storm is missing and is not available on any of the other Good Life DVD's leaving you with a single episode short of a complete set. Whoever was responsible for this decision should be shot!

Rating: - Great fun
I bought this for my wife. She usually does not spit coffee at the TV, but this was just too funny for her. We don't watch this with beverages anymore. It ages very well. It is still as freash as it was in the 70s. The cast is wonderful. Lots of laughs here.

Rating: - The best of British comedy
Like the majority of American fans, I first caught this show on PBS (Public Broadcast System). I was hooked immediately. A thouroughly likable cast who seemed to be custom-made for their roles. I don't think it would have been possible to translate this show for American TV. Bravo to the creators.
