This is just a fabulously entertaining television series -- funny and sweet. Although the seasons are short compared to US Shows (This set has 7 episodes), they're enjoyable enough that they're worth it. (Great things come in small packages.) Here's a quick summary of the episodes:

1. Jean suspects Lionel is going deaf, but he resists going to the doctor. Meanwhile, Lionel becomes convinced that Jean is having problems with her eyes.

2. Jean & Lionel take a parental interest in Harry, Sandy's policeman boyfriend. Yet the affairs of the younger generation seem to diminish in importance when Jean receives a phone message from an old flame.

3. Jean undertakes some strategic snooping to discover what the new neighbors are like. How is it they show up at the pub with black eyes?

4. The whole gang heads out to the country for the weekend. But road construction is about to throw the travelers for a loop.

5. Jean's brother, Stephen, and his wife are expected for another visit. To the Hardcastles' surprise, they arrive via separate modes of transportation to announce that they are having a tiff.

6. Jean gets everyone, including Lionel's father and stepmother, to help out with her old-age party at the church hall. Lionel is anxious about the whole idea, especially after being told to watch out for Mrs. Thrupp.

7. The Duncans abruptly vacate the dwelling next door, and Judith has the wonderful idea that she and Alistair move in. Lionel has his reservations, but they are nothing compared to the reservations of Judith when Alistair makes a surprising proposal.

Love As Time Goes By. I have all seven DVD'S and waiting on the rest of the series to come out.You become part of this family,they are so down to earth and you feel right at home with all of them. Anyone know when the rest of the series will be out on DVD ? Please everyone buy this,it will make your day.

The humor is gentle and the characters pull you in! My wife and I are hooked and have the entire collection!

We have watched all of the series in chronological sequence from the beginning through Series 7. Getting to know the characters and how each has grown over time allows the subtlety of English Humor to shine even more. As each episode ends you are left wondering what the next chapter in their lives will be. Highly entertaining.

We love the repartee between the characters. So nice to see adult, older people . Jean and Lionel are of our generation and this is life after 50. We chuckle and chuckle at the shows. Nice to see that they are combining series 8 and 9 as the Dvds are too short. I always feel a bit gypped because other series are 2 or 3 times as long.

I lived in England and loved this SitCom over there. I have series 1 through 7 and love them. You cannot go wrong with Dame Judi Dench!

Product exceeds my expectations and arrived in a timely fashion. Very happy with both shipment and service, along with a great product. I highly recommend this to all customers for a future purchase.

I think this wraps up a nice series with the happy marriage of two couples that had ongoing romances. It always facinates me the way the English language is spoken by proper Brits. Very enjoyable to watch.

I found the complete series 1 thru 9 very funny. Love the mannerisms and story lines are true to life. Too bad its over they leave you wanting more
