Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

arturus I saw this as a teenager and even then I was deeply impressed with everything about it, the writing, the casting, the superb performances. I thought that Dick and Paula would certainly become the Lunt and Fontanne of my generation, a gifted married couple who could play comedy brilliantly, and drama, too! But CBS never gave this show the slot it deserved or the promotion it needed. It got rave reviews and had a devoted if small audience, but it was canceled after only one season. I liked it so much I made (audio) recordings of several episodes, just for the writing and to hear the way these two, Benjamin and Prentiss, played off of each other. Sheer brilliance!

Al This was one of the funniest, most off-beat and intelligent sitcoms of the 1960's. In many ways it pre-dates the type of comedy done many years later in "Seinfeld". It was a show that relied on characterization rather than plot. Through the talents of the writers and actors each week we were drawn into the the world of a young married couple Dick and Paula Hollister and their crazy neighbors played by some of the great comic talents of the time like Kenneth Mars (Franz in the original film of "The Producers") and in a virtually scene stealing role every time he appeared, the great Jack Cassidy as Oscar North. That is saying something as the ensemble was terrific and the leads, real-life husband and wife, Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss were wonderful. One of the first scenes in the series was classic and very telling for the tenor and humor of the show. Dick and Paula come in their bedroom to go to sleep. They are off-stage coming on-stage chatting. First you see Paula enter, just wearing what seems to be a man's pajama tops revealing her sexy legs. (A quick assumption that it is Dick's) and then Dick enters-- also wearing only pajama tops; revealing his (ugh) legs. Quirky and unique. Well written, acted and directed. So far ahead of it's time. I've seen it once in a while on cable shows like Nick at Night. It still holds up well. Do catch it if you can.

junefirst26 Please Richard and Paula, or to whom it may concern, can you please try and get this very funny series out on DVD, once and for all. It's only one year(season), it could all fit into one box. I, myself, have other favorites, and when I see them being released on DVD, one season after another, to tell you the truth, I am reluctant to purchase them because of the huge out lay of cash to purchase every year, one after another, such as Bewitched. However, I did purchase the cartoon series Topcat, and The Jetsons, since they were only on for one season, and I knew ahead of time that I could still enjoy my favorite shows and not have to shell out money for each succeeding season. So, PLEASE again, try and get this HIP series out on DVD, while the cast members can still make comments on it.

timmauk I was only 9 when this was on but I remember it very well. It was one of those true comedies that just flowed so well and was funny naturally. I mean that it is like "Mad about You" in that it got it's humour from real life married situations. One of first true universal comedies on TV.The chemistry between real life husband & wife Richard Benjaman and Paula Prentiss is a marvel to watch. Then you add in a cast of characters, leading off with the hilarious Jack Cassidy (father of David) and you get a classic sitcom that for some stupid reason did not get renewed for a second season. WHY NOT??EMMY nominated for Best Actor In A Comedy-Benjaman, Best Actress In A Comedy-Prentiss, Best Supporting Actor In A Comedy-Cassidy and two Best Comedy Writing Emmys(got one).It would not have been nominated if it wasn't good people. I only hope that I get the chance, as well as others, to see it once again and it get the praise it deserves. Definitely ahead of it's time. WATCH IT!!
