4.0 out of 5 stars Worth buying for the entertainment value., August 18, 2008

This review is from: Caroline in the City - The First Season (DVD)

This is a great series, however, as in the UK release, not all the episodes are in the correct order. Compared to the list given by the other reviewer, there is one episode out of order (Caroline and the Condom is at the end of the last disk.) However, in watching the episodes in the revised order there was still a bit of discontinuity in the story line. Also, the casing seems to be very fragile and easily broken during shipment. But the picture and sound is just fine and it is definitely worth buying for the entertainment value.

4.0 out of 5 stars The last era I watched TV regularly, because of shows like "Caroline", November 1, 2008

This review is from: Caroline in the City - The First Season (DVD)

I followed the "Must See TV" Thursday night line-up as long as it kept throwing out worthwhile, inspired, clever and funny programming. And this show was part of the last generation of those kind of shows, particularly comedies in my case. For some reason, few guys admit to liking this show. Is it "Seinfeld?" Of course not. But that was the kind of show more guys related to more than a show like "Caroline In The City," which was one of my favorite comedies of all the "Must See" lineup. In addition to the leads- Thompson (Caroline), Lutes (Del), Getz (Richard), and Pietz (Annie), Andrew Lauer, who played Charlie, Del's assistant/messenger had me in stitches on many occasions. I've always adored Lea Thompson, so sampling her show was a given. But there was definitely something about it from the beginning that separated it from other flash in the pan sitcoms. Once you took this show on its own, and not by comparing it to others it grew on you very fast. The story lines were as relatable as they come, but with a different sense of humor than its contemporaries, albeit with some usual formulas. But the ensemble pulls it off. And as the show and characters developed, so did the appeal. The show was not only funny, but had a real heart. Even the extras on the series had their shining moments and contributions to this show- restauranteur Remo was always ready to pounce on any cue for a home run chuckle. Sadly, in its latest stage it started to pander to the focus group mentality who felt adding additional, yet pointless cast members would reach a wider demographic (Suddenly Susan suffered through the same desperation as it aged too), and the exact opposite occurred. It wound up pleasing nobody, or at least displeased its most loyal followers. What a pitiful finish to a show with so much potential, and a great fistful of episodes to embrace in its early years. When I bought the DVD set, I went through them in no time. They just flew by. Very entertaining series with the edge it needed to separate it from the others. I can't wait for follow up season releases.

5.0 out of 5 stars Actually, the episodes are in order., September 7, 2008

This review is from: Caroline in the City - The First Season (DVD)

I don't understand why people say the episodes aren't in order. In the box you got the air dates for each one of them, and they are in correct order.
In fact, the last one shouldn't be there by story, but it's in the right place by air date.

About the story: it's great fun. The only bad thing is: sometimes things happen that they don't show (as when Richard got her first girlfriend. She just appears, it seems like something's missing).

About the dvds: it could have more special features.
