2008-12-25I love this series because it really makes me laugh and hardly anything does any more. I love the episode called "Introduction on Broadway," when Bertie and Jeeves are in New York. Watching this series inspired me to read P.G. Wodehouse.

2008-11-25There are no flaws in this series based on the splendid stories of P.G. Wodehouse. The setting and backgrounds are beautiful and the writing is excelllent, especially in the episodes which were drawn from multiple stories. The true masterpeice of this series is the acting of the two lead charachters. Stephen Fry's work has flown under the radar in every instance and his portrayal of Jeeves ranks with the great comedy character depictions. Hugh Laurie is equally briliant. Those who only know him as House seriously need to watch him as Bertie Wooster. After that they should check him out in Blackadder and A Bit of Fry and Laurie. I can't watch him as House because it is such a step down from the brilliance of his performence as Wooster. I also can't take the American accent, it doesnt do him justice in his ability to steep any sentence with layers of nuance.
2008-11-02You can't beat these writers. A young Hugh Laurie - singing no less - playing the farce. Stephen Fry as Jeeves is untouchable. If you love the English language - this is a must. Good for families as it does not delve into sexual inuendo.
2008-10-06Those who have come to Hugh Laurie only through his curmudgeonly incarnation as House need to see his goofier side as Bertie Wooster, the upper class Brittish bumbler who gets into dire strait after dire strait if not for the machinations of his valet, Jeeves. Stephen Fry is hilarious as the understated and inteligent Jeeves and Laurie is briliant as the self-assured but obtuse and feckless bumbler. Those who love Brittish humor and Brittish TV and film, parituclarily period film, will find these very intertaining, I think.
2008-08-07The First Season Volume 1 was a bit slow, but after that it was just so funny. Very addictive and hilarious. Stephen Fry is such a class act.

To millions of devoted fans, P.G. Wodehouse's "Jeeves and Wooster" stories are a delightful obsession, an irresistible and irreverent romp through the drawing rooms of Edwardian England's tweedy elite. Now, these comic masterpieces come to life in acclaimed productions with an extraordinary cast that features Hugh Laurie (Sense and Sensibility, Strapless) as the well-meaning but dim aristocrat Bertie Wooster, and Stephen Fry (Wilde, Cold Comfort Farm) as Jeeves, his hilariously arch and resourceful valet. This 8-DVD collector's set includes 23 digitally restored and remastered episodes.
