1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS SET IF YOU THINK IT IS ALL, April 9, 2002

This review is from: Are You Being Served? Giftset (Volumes 1-7 plus Best of) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Again, do not buy this box set if you think you will get all the "Served"'s. I love "Served" - I still watch the episodes when they come on TV! Some I have recorded and I watch them when I can; I still love the "ignamonious" and cat and "board room level" (look up) jokes (my son loves it when Mr. W.C. Humphries answers the phone in a deep voice by saying, "Men's ware." BUT, I don't have all the episodes, so I thought I would ask for this box set for my birthday, thinking I would complete my own collection. WRONG! Each video, 7 in the collection, only covers three episodes each. The eighth video covers more episodes but only in snippets. That's it! Bogus buy! Better for you to watch your PBS station and wait for the episodes to come on than to waste your money buying only a few episodes. Or better still, go to the DVD section and consider buying all the episodes at a larger price (if you loved the "Served's," it's worth the price).

5.0 out of 5 stars TOO FUNNY, September 15, 2001

By 

Jacob Victory (Nutley, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Are You Being Served? Giftset (Volumes 1-7 plus Best of) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

What do you get when you get a pink haired lady who makes her own marmalade, a fun-loving ambigious man, a cocky former "captain" and the high jinks of a young stud who is in love with revelry? You get "Are You Being Served?" the wonderful collection of PRIME English comedy. It's subtle. It's terrificly witty. It's just so darn funny. Set in the 70's and 80's we follow the life and times of the gang in menswear and "womens apparel" at Grace Brothers. It's tradition vs. modernism. It's the "old school" vs. the young brash. I love Mr. Humphries! I adore Mrs. Slocumb. Watch this vintage show. They sure don't make comedies like this any more. Lucky we have them on tape.

5.0 out of 5 stars Are You Being Served?, May 31, 2002

This review is from: Are You Being Served? Giftset (Volumes 1-7 plus Best of) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Anyone looking for 21 of the funniest episodes of this series will be very pleased. All of the shows you remember are here, including "Dear Sexy Knickers", "German Week" and "The Erotic Dreams of Mrs. Slocombe" plus many more that I'm sure true fans will cherish. I'm a huge Brit-com fan and I had to have this show in my collection. If you're a fan also please buy this set for your collection too. Someone mentioned in their review that the "Best of" video, which is included here, isn't as funny when scenes are viewed out of context but if you're familiar with the series, you'll completely remember each scene shown!
