Editorial Reviews

Emmy Award winners Jane Curtin and Susan Saint James star in Kate & Allie, the beloved and groundbreaking comedy series about new beginnings. Recently divorced Allie Lowell (Curtin) and her two children, Chip (Frederick Koehler) and Jennie (Allison Smith), move from the comfortable suburbs of Connecticut to begin a new life in New York City. They share a house with Allie’s best friend, Kate McArdle (Saint James), and her daughter, Emma (Ari Meyers), and together this group forms a new kind of family unit. Kate and Allie Season One features an exclusive interview with Susan Saint James, a bonus preview episode from Season 2, and a special featurette that takes a look back at television’s greatest decade, the eighties. The #1 sitcom during its first year of broadcast, Kate & Allie changed the way we think about families. See how it all began!

4.0 out of 5 stars 1st season is only 6 episodes on 1 disc, April 13, 2006

By 

Lulu "lulu_in_hollywood" (The Rat's Mouth, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kate & Allie - Season One (DVD)

I just want to point out that Kate & Allie was a midseason replacement, and as such, its first season consists of only six episodes:

Allie's First Date
The Very Loud Family
Odd Boy Out
The Family Business
Dear Diary
A Weekend to Remember

According to Amazon, the six episodes that make up Kate and Allie's first season are all on one disc. Therefore, the retail price you're paying for this "set" is actually for one disc with the first six episodes of Kate and Allie. Be aware of that before buying.

1.0 out of 5 stars A ""Universal " Ripoff, April 14, 2006

This review is from: Kate & Allie - Season One (DVD)

This is not a review of the series but a critical coment on Universal's marketing procedures that should be protested. Besides Kate & Allie-Wings and That Girl are being released this spring. The latter two like Kate & Allie were short first seasons-However Sony and Paramount are releasing both seasons 1 and 2 for only 7 dollars more than Universal is charging for 6 episodes of Kate and Allie. Why didn't Universal do the logical thing like the other 2 studios and release seasons 1 and 2. Greed? No respect for the consumers? Shame on Universal Studios!!

1.0 out of 5 stars GET THE CANADIAN ONE!!!, May 3, 2006

This review is from: Kate & Allie - Season One (DVD)

Before you buy this, go to Amazon.ca and get the Canadian one, which has now released up to SEASON 4! The first set contains BOTH season one AND two, unlike the shameful American version which only contains six episodes of the first season, and at the price of 22 episodes!

UPDATE:

Amazon.ca is releasing the final season of 'Kate and Allie' this month (August 2009)!
