Wonderful DVD - Benson I have been waiting soooo long for Benson to come out on DVD. I happened to check, by accident, when I saw the DVD listings for Soap. The episodes of Benson are such classics. And so funny. I didn't know that Susan Harris, who wrote for The Golden Girls, wrote for Benson as well. I can see a little in both. Funny story telling from the Governor. Somewhat similar to Rose's Saint Olaf stories on the Golden Girls.
The packaging is good. It's the first season. Nice set of three DVDs. I love it. I really hope that they put the next season out soon.
benson review Received my dvd quickly as usual, good condition, I have watched this dvd about three times and everytime I watch I still laugh out loud at each episode, I cannot wait for the next dvd to be released.
Great show, WHERE'S THE OTHER SEASONS? Great show, so so funny and very nice acting!! Great slim-line cases, single-sided disks and compilation. Now PLEASE give us the other seasons! Thanks!!!! Hurry up, the soup is getting cold!!!
Best Sitcom on TV!! I couldn't believe it when I just casually typed in Benson in the search bar and it came up! I thought that would never happen. I've been waiting for this to come out on DVD for years. This was the best comedy on tv when I was growing up and watching it again was awesome. Seeing how terrific the writers were back in '79 blows my mind away. Benson was great but I really love James Noble (Gov. Gatling). I don't think the show would have made it without him. The way he delivered the lines, oh my goodness. Fantastic show!!
Big Benson Fan! I love this show. I watched Soap and continued on to watch Benson. I am wondering, however when the rest of the episodes will be released? I actuall own the set and I have the first season on my Ipod. It's very entertaining. Can't wait to see the rest. I will be #1 on the list to purchase the remaining episodes.
