re Favourite Box sets

Among our favourites are House of Cards, Rumpole, Frasier, and Cheers. We recently worked our way through Bleak House – one episode a week – and were thrilled and moved by the brilliant production and wonderful acting.

We love Montalbano despite the subtitles.

Don't have the physical boxes, but watch on Netflix. All time favourite- Breaking Bad, then House of Cards, Orange is the New Black and now am engrossed in The Good Wife.

I also like Still Game, but find I have to rewind sometimes as I miss a sentence due to to the strong Scottish accents.
I like the American comedy TV series
Cheers
Fraser
Mad Men
Desperate Housewife
Ali McBeale

Recently I've been watching The Golden Girls which I think is brilliant!
I think it was shown around 1985 until 1995.
At the time I was in my late 30's but although I thought it funny, did not get some of the jokes. Now I 'm the same age as the characters in it. I totally empathise with them and find it hilarious.

Jeeves and Wooster. Silly but relaxing.

Gosh, I loved Jeeves and Wooster! Never been a fan of Stephen Fry, but he was the perfect Jeeves, and Hugh Laurie an unsurpassedly dim Bertie!

West Wing and the Sopranos. We bought Gavin and Stacey when we were on holiday and thoroughly enjoyed that too but we wouldn't watch it over and over

Brothers and Sisters is very good,felt a bit lost when I finished the last season. Great characters and storylines.

We only own two boxed sets, both given to us by DD2 who obviously thinks we need educating in the Boxed Set department.
However they are both American, and very good - Treme, and Parks and Recreation. I think Ron Swanson is my favourite character of all time.

We only have one - The Blue Planet given to us by DS (lovely)

Larkrise to Candleford.
My friend said it was like watching paint dry, but I did enjoy it because my DF's family are from there!
(well, the place it was based on.)

And, in fact, a distant relative was the blacksmith and his daughter ran the Post Office - how's that for fame?!

Tenko, have watched it loads of times on video and now dvd. The episode where Rose died was shown just before Christmas 1981, really put a damper on things!
More recent is Last Tango in Halifax, love that.

Homeland for drama. I still like ER and St Elsewhere too.

Loved ER, of course George helped but DH and I both enjoyed the whole programme.

We had a couple of the Madmen, but not the full set. My son has all the Breaking Bad and when he lived at home he tried to force us to watch them. I believe from like minded devotees it's one of the finest tv series ever, but I didn't really get into it. We tend not to have box sets, apart from the sublime Brideshead Revisited from a while ago. We have been catching up with Spiral, a wonderful French detective series, via a rental dvd club, but once I have watched it, I don't think I'd go back over it time and time again. My theory is box sets are for nostalgia, I'd really like some old '60s films, as awful as they were sometimes, because it reminds me of when I was growing up. I do have all The Godfather films, simply because I think the first two are among some of the finest cinema offerings.
