VHS Movie Reviews of Good Neighbors, Vol. 1
Movie Review: One of the best of the Britcoms
Summary: 5 Stars
Though showing it's age in many ways (especially Margo's fashions), this is still one of the best of the Britcoms. The entire series still delights and can many episodes send me into fits of laughter regardless of the number of times they've been viewed. This tape contains my all time favorite, Silly But It's Fun, the Christmas episode, which I watch every holiday. A comedic classic!Movie Review: An excellent Britcom!
Summary: 5 Stars
Good Neighbors (or The Good Life as it was known in the UK) is the story of Tom and Barbara Good, a middle-aged couple in the 1970s who decide to escape the rat race by living a life of complete self-sufficiency. They exchange their car for a cultivator, and turn their garden into a full-fledged (if rather small) farm. Their good friends and neighbors, the social climbing Gerry and Margot Leadbetter (played by Paul Eddington and Penelope Keith!) sometimes provide support, and other times disapproval. Through it all, the antics of the two mismatched set of neighbors produces laughs and good times for all!Sadly, for some reason known only to the BBC, the episodes of this wonderful show have been released in a seemingly random order. Still, this show is so good that it is better to have them this way than not at all! This tape contains three, half-hour episodes.
Backs to the Wall - Series 1, episode 7 (May 16, 1975) - As the Goods prepare for their first harvest, the Leadbetters fly off for a vacation in Africa. But, disaster strikes when Tom injures his back, leaving him unable to work. To make matters worse, a sudden storm flattens the crop, which must now be gathered in a matter of a couple of days. The Goods need help, and need it fast!
The Wind-Break War - Series 3, episode 19 (October 8, 1976) - After having planted their new fruit trees, the Goods are shocked to learn that Margot is planning to place a windbreak in a location guaranteed to shade the new plants. This means war!
Silly, but It's Fun... - Post-show Christmas special (December 26, 1977) - As the Goods begin making the homemade goodies they need for their Christmas celebration, Margot orders hers from a department store. When the Leadbetter Christmas fails to be delivered, the Goods take them in, and show them how good a self-sufficient Christmas can be.
Movie Review: Best Britcom series ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I know there were lots more episodes made than what's available on video, when in the world are they going to release them? I know there's lots of people out there wondering the same thing. So how about it Amazon.com if anyone can bring us aficionados more "Good Neighbors" I know it's you. Thanks.Movie Review: "The Good's are the Best!!!"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a collection I must have! And I plan to start today! Even though I have not yet purchased the first volume of this series I already know I will charish them forever!I recorded the original series way back in 1984 from the PBS showings and have enjoyed them ever since. Though the recordings are showing their age, classics like this are timeless and do not grow old, they just get better!
Felicity Kendal does not seem to grow old either, she just gets better! I wonder why?
Movie Review: Wish We Did Comdedy As Well As...
Summary: 5 Stars
as the British. "Spin City" was the closest America came to this genre(Yes, Prime Minister). "The Good Neighbors" (first bradcast as "The Good Life" on BBC) was (and is) the funniest sitcom I have ever experienced. It's a little dated (clothing, etc...); but, the characters are believeable, as is the concept (being self sufficient in a HIGH class London suburb.
