I've waited for I Married Joan, Collection set II to get a DVD release. I have been checking & checking, & at last it's coming out! The first set was great, the DVD quality was pretty good too, given the time the series came out.

Joan Davis is a highly underrated, classy & talented Comedic Actress who left us a great legacy of her work to enjoy for generations to come. I have watched episodes of this series over & over again & am greatly entertained. Joan is wonderful at physical comedy with her various expressions & style of comedy, we can't help but be reeled in at Joan Stevens' screwball antics & anticipate more chaos & fun in coming episodes!

Jim Backus is fantastic as Joan's put-upon Husband, Judge Bradley Stevens. The cast works well, which adds to the winning formula of this sitcom. Sadly, Bev, Joanie's real-life Daughter had passed on rather young. She portrayed Joan's Sister in the show. She even bore a fairly strong resemblance to Joan, & was a fine contribution to the series.

I highly recommend all fans of vintage sitcoms & fine comedy to add this series to your library. It's one of the best & I have proudly added it to mine. I just hope future DVD releases are put out.

What a thrill to see Joan Davis and Jim Backus in their smash it TV Series, "I Married Joan"....to this day, it still brought a lot of laughs as well as take me back to when sit-coms were funny, clean-cut and worth the time in watching. You can't beat
old fashioned slapstick comedy and Joan Davis surely was a pro at that. Well worth the price in gold and highly recommended to anyone whow wants to remember the way comedy should be.

I just finished watching this DVD set and was pretty impressed. There was only one problem, one of the shows on the first disc had the words not matching the mouths for the last 10 minutes of the program. Otherwise, it was a great set, might have to order Set 1 even though I have most of those programs on VHS. Joan was a great comedian, on par with Lucy with her slapstick antics!

Joan Davis's original comedy was much copied by later comedians, but none could imitate her technique. Her TV series was too short for many of us and her life too tragic. Joan is appealing, goofy, and a master of timing. You cannot help but love her and the way she makes you laugh. Never raucous like Carol Burnett, never phony and self-centered like Lucy, but always hilarious.

I loved these 2 products ... Brought back such fond memories of your childhood

This bought back many memories of my youth and early TV. It is an excellent product.

I was born in 1990 but I love these vintage sitcoms, and this is a favourite. These episodes are warm and funny, and it's fun to see the 1950's home interior. Somehow, this appealing show never made the Top 20, although it was popular enough to be exported around the world during the 1950's (even to Australia!). I most certainly recommend this series, it's aged very well.

I used to watch this show yrs ago but they are not as entertaining as I remember . Shes alot like Lucy she gets into all kinds of messes. My 8 yr old daughter enjoys them....They are fun episodes to watch.
