Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Kirpianuscus ...as one of the most seductive, charming, smart love story. its admirable simplicity. and its dialogues. the two basic ingredients for a show who gives portrait of a couple looking for save a long absence of the other. it is realistic. and adorable. a perfect refuge because it has not a precise definition. sure, romance, friendship, mature love. but, in same measure, a great cast. and the right story. so, one of series who, for long time, remains a precious source of memories. and lessons. and recipe for discover the every day life. in right and wise and smart and clever way.

Gilda Vincent Someone said on the board here that Americans love this show because of the steady diet of slop the American television industry feeds us. That may well be true; I am almost 48 years old and have watched television since I was a child, with the exception of the early to late 80's, when I didn't own a TV (for obvious reasons).Maybe if I grew up on BBC programs I wouldn't give "As Time Goes By" such high marks. But in my book, it is better than any comedy ever shown on forty years of American TV. Geoffrey Palmer and Judi Dench are the best couple in a comedy I have ever seen. They are funny, sexy, and believable.My highest praise is this: It inspires me to higher ideals of personal behavior. These are honorable characters, in sometimes challenging situations, using grace, good humor, selflessness (sometimes) and good will to resolve their problems. Could this be why this show enjoys such a fervently adoring following? Because some of us would actually like to be give something to aim toward in our entertainment? Wouldn't be the worst thing.

tomhunter8 While my wife and I enjoy many British shows, this is by far our favorite. The characters are so likable, the dialogue so authentic and the ambiance so warm. The genuine care the characters share for each other is very refreshing. Not to mention the quality of the actors that bring it to life.This show does not resort to site gags or lame one liners to get its laughs. It's a sitcom in the truest sense because it derives its humor from the situations the characters find themselves in. However, I believe the thing that really sets this series apart from all the others is the love, respect and dedication each character shows for one another. This is a good show about good people and it just doesn't get any better than that.If there is such a thing as a perfect TV show, this is it.We own the complete set on DVD and watch them as we sit down for dinner. I mean after all, who wouldn't want to have dinner with Lionel and Jean? Pass the custard tarts please.

Merl Jennings I grew up with my wife as the 'girl next door', but our lives took different paths after HS graduation. Almost 35 years later we crossed paths and both were alone. Six months later we married and are approaching our 13th anniversary. We have seen every episode...many several times...and continue to laugh and cry together at so many of the situations. We really just wanted to let those responsible for such an outstanding production know how deeply they have affected our lives in a positive manner. We are indebted to the actors and all others who put this show together for bringing such an absolute joy and contentment into our lives.
