Great dry British humor. The actors are so great, and the antics and such are so funny. It's an all around delightful and entertaining series. I bought 2 sets on ebay, so I can gift one to a fan of Fawlty Towers. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes John Cleese and dry humor. They don't make comedy like this anymore in my opinion

Dated humor, and British humor at that, but still fantastically funny. Would not pass the PC test these days - but, you know, still really, really funny. Basil the Rat is my favorite - but many of the episodes get close as well.

A delightful complete collection of the Fawlty Towers episodes which also includes special features; interviews, directors' comments and more. Superb comedy at its English best with top performances by a great collection of most engaging characters. Fast paced enjoyment in each episode.

This show was was a post Monty Python effort co-written and starring John Cleese and Connie Booth (John's wife at the time). Some say that it was "Americanized" to become the Newhart Show as the plot situations are similar to each other, but that is where the similarities end.. (Both shows revolve around an hotel/boarding house run by mostly dysfunctional staff - and both rely upon situational tension and release for the humor they generate...Add to this the recurring themes and character faults and you can see what I mean). In my opinion, this show was very underrated at the time, and is still hilarious. The ridiculous situations grab the unsuspecting viewer into the tension of the moment, and we cannot wait to escape through the laughter we know is coming..

Fawlty Towers was a well conceived idea with a host of brilliant cast members taking part in a historical project. Timing and delivery of what takes place in these 12 episodes is meticulous and flawless. With on 12 episodes to appreciate, one could have only hoped for 12 more, or a movie release of this famed production. And aside from the "Honeymooners-Classic 39" episodes of the mid-50's..., Fawlty Towers rivals the laugh-athon well all need in our lives.

John Cleese and Connie Booth (married at that time) wrote and starred in this comedy along with Prunella Scales and Andrew Sachs. Cleese based the character on the owner of a hotel that he had stayed at while a member of Monty Python. The owner of the hotel was so awful that none of the other members of Python would stay there, but Cleese was fascinated by this grumpy character. He went on to write and film this two-season series which aired in 1975 and 1979, 12 episodes in all. It is a classic that has never been duplicated.

Please stop with the stupid “awesome sauce.” The last 4 episodes were awful but the first 8 were great!!!! Very happy to have an original copy before the PC people got a hold of it and corrected the “offenses.” It was well packaged and arrived quickly!

Fawlty Towers is classic British comedy series starring the legendary John Cleese. Not that many episodes were produced. However, the quality of the humor, acting and writing is of the highest quality. It is one of my top five favorite television comedies of all time.

Nothing compares to this BBC comedy! Always funny, never boring. Each character is believable, do a great job w/their parts. I can't say enough about Faulty Towers, it has been a favorite for years. If you enjoy British humor, this series will delight you.

The sound is good but there seems to be colors to the character’s outlines. Perhaps they messed up during the remastering process. The storyline though is hilarious and an absolute riot! Had the image been better I would have rated it five stars.
