The series itself is wonderful, my wife and I love it and have watched the whole series on PBS before deciding to purchase the series on DVD. I give the series itself FIVE Stars.
Now the product I received from the vendor was not the product they advertised. It was advertised as brand new in original shrinkwrap. A week after receiving it and giving my original seller review we actually opened the shrinkwrap and found the inside packaging (inside the sleeve) to be creased and bent, The plastic Disc holders were loose and sliding out of the inner holder. in addition, two of the six discs from this "New" collection are scratched, watchable but still scratched. if it was advertised as used, some wear and tear, i wouldnt mind.
I highly recommend this series but also highly recommend buying it directly from Amazon.

I've been watching this series for years. But I cannot seem to catch it every week. Buying the complete series, was one of the best purchases (as far as tv sitcoms go) this year. I would suggest buying used. I could not bring myself to spend over $100.00 for this, no matter how much I enjoy the show.

This is a great series. Very down-to-earth people. I would love to live next door to them. Great seeing Dame Judi Dench being so human, and so humorous. I love watching a great group of actors. I enjoyed the entire cast.

Worth the time it takes to watch the whole series, over and over again.

I never tire of this great comedy series -- wonderful wit and humor by 2 great British actors. The writing is superb. The banter between Jean (Judi Dench) and Lionel (Geoffrey Palmer) is fast-paced and quick-witted. A great DVD collection. Be sure to buy the As Time Goes By - Special Reunion DVD. A perfect way to complete the collection. Highly recommended for good, clean humor and quality TV.

Without a doubt, this is the best TV series ever produced; good, clean, and wholesome. I looked forward to getting off of work and watching several episodes a night with my wife. Today's society needs to see more shows just like this.
