Wall to wall laughs July 3, 2010 JRKW 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Pure enjoyment! We thought we saw all of the episods and were delighted to see how many we missed. Glad we bought the complete set.
Great show, love it June 20, 2010 J. Wormley (Dallas, TX) I remember watching this show as a child and I had to have it now on DVD. A wonderfully funny British comedy.
It, really, just doesn't get any better than this December 16, 2009 Jackster (New Mexico, USA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Classic British comedy at its finest. Absolutely classic. I wonder if this show could even be made today, in this Politically Correct minefield...? Thank God it *was* made, as this is a true gem of television that is not likely to ever be replicated.

'Allo 'Allo! is such a classic comedy - it keeps me laughing...I have a friend who also loves British Comedy...he comes over and we have a "British Comedy Day" and just watch the classics...another favorite is "The Thin Blue Line."

"Allo Allo!" Has been around since 1982 and has just recently become available in the USA on a decent media. This particular set contains series one through series six. Each containing approximately eight episodes:
"The British are Coming" starts the series and explains many things that happen later in the series.
"The Fallen Madonna" with the big whatever, will set a reoccurring theme as Colonel Kurk von Strom has pilfered the painting for his retirement. Keep your eye on it through the series as it becomes a shell game.
The basic story is that of a café owner René; this is in France during the WWII German occupation. He must balance dealing with the local Germans, the Gestapo, the good Resistance, the commie Resistance, having affairs with his female help, dealing with his wife and mother-in-law. Throw in some downed British airmen and some onion soup.
I will not go though each series in detail because for those that have not seen it or if it has been while since viewing the series, the surprise factor and the one liners are worth discovering first hand.
I will say that the highlight for me in the first series was when they mistakenly fed grain laced with nitro glycerin to the chickens.
One nice thing about this series is that they place the name next to the actor at the end of each episode. Most of the actors are well known out side of this series. I was shocked however to find that Gestapo Herr Otto Flick (Richard Gibson) Played British Capt. Newman in Ken Follett's "The Key to Rebecca" (1985) and completely changed his accent.
I hope they will release another series soon "Three Hail Mary's and two Heil Hitler's."
