Benson season one DVD set


I was completely overwhelmed by the wonderfully produced set, which I recently purchased at a local wholesale club...$9.99 for the set...What a deal! I enjoyed the interviews with members of the cast and production staff. I REALLY enjoyed seeing the original episode tags (the brief bits right before the closing credits; most don't have a thing to do with the plot, but some of them bring the episodes to a satisfying conclusion; 'Snowbound' shows the staff returning to the mansion after they were stranded in the cabin) which haven't been seen since 1979/1980. It was also great to see every episode with the original full-length opening credits. Some of my favorite episodes are 'Snowbound' ("All I can say is, it's been tense...."), 'Jessica' (Benson's "Mrs. Tate, we have our OWN special problems/hamster/dead body strapped to a luggage cart" rant) and 'Three Strikes, You're Out' (Benson's tirade during the dinner sequence and the cork incident), 'Matter of Conflict' (with Benson narrowly escaping an up close and personal visit with the sun, not ONCE, but TWICE!!) never fail to make me laugh. That's the beauty of these episodes.....I can repeatedly watch them and laugh....and the theme song....one of the most upbeat I've heard......BRAVO!!!!

I hear ya, and completely agree.

I sure wish they'd release the remaining seasons and give them the same, great treatment.
