I got hooked on this show last year, then changed cable providers and was horrified to see I could no longer watch, so I've been collecting the series 1 or 2 a month..SO FUNNY, who needs crunches???? I laugh until my face and stomach are killing me.
The seller was wonderful..prompt delivery and all arived in great order. I would defenitely order from this seller again.One Foot in the Grave - Season 1
DVD Review: One Foot in the Grave- Season 1
Summary: 5 Stars
I love BBC comedy and this show did not leave me loving BBC comedy any less. Needless to say I will be purchasing the rest of the seasons. If you like Keeping up Appearances, then you will like One Foot in the Grave.DVD Review: Very Funny!
Summary: 4 Stars
The BBC does it again. If you enjoy Are you being served, The Vicar of Dibley, Chef, and Keeping up Appearances you will love this comedy also.DVD Review: Good, but not hilarious
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the First Season of "One foot in the Grave" based on words like "best ever", "very funny", etc.
The First season collection is pleasant to watch, but is not hilarious. Some situations are a bit contrived, as is the snake incident, and for other, my expectations based on review by others may have been too high, as was the vacuum cleaner "duel". Many situations could be funnier, but were lost by Wilson's (Victor) delivery.
It is not the "best ever" British comedy.
Based on the reviews, I understand subsequent seasons are better.
As in the past, Amazon gets 5 stars for excellence in all aspects of the purchase.
DVD Review: REALLY One Foot in the Grave
Summary: 2 Stars
Short and sweet - it is depressing watching this couple. Maybe I missing the humor by seeing a dead cat in a freezer, a dead bird in his garden, and everyone dying around him.
Description of One Foot in the Grave - Season 1
The BAFTA-nominated series about the growing pains of growing old is finally on DVD! Forced into early retirement, Victor Meldrew optimistically tries to adjust to years of leisure with his wife Margaret. If only events -- coincidences, misunderstandings, bureaucratic inefficiencies and sheer bad luck -- didn't conspire against him.Think of One Foot in the Grave as a British version of Curb Your Enthusiasm: Cranky, misanthropic Victor Mildrew (the wonderfully bilious Richard Wilson) perceives himself as the only sane man in a world out to drive him mad--a world in which yoga instructors abruptly keel over, a dead cat appears in his freezer, a man in a bee costume uses his loo, and an escaped snake crawls into his luggage. Of course, Victor can dish it out too; he gives a political candidate a severe tongue-lashing and has a vacuum cleaner duel with an old man who's even more cantankerous than Victor. Only his long-suffering wife Margaret (sweet-tempered Annette Crosbie, Calendar Girls, An Unsuitable Job for a Woman) provides Victor with any serenity--even as he destroys hers! Wilson had a long career before One Foot in the Grave (including the series Tutti Frutti, costarring with Emma Thompson and Robbie Coltrane), but this show became a phenomenon, giving a voice of outrage to the disenfranchised (young and old alike) in Margaret Thatcher's political era. But politics were always secondary to humor, and anyone with a taste for scathing invective and madcap plots will bask in Wilson's indignity. Written by David Remnick, creator of Jonathan Creek. --Bret Fetzer
