Rating: - the funniest british comedy
the rise and fall of reginald perrine is in my opinion the funnest of all of the british comedies I have seen. When I first saw this series it came on once a week on our local pbs station. The best way I know to describe this series is by saying that it is monty python and benny hill all in one.Leonard Rossiter is great as Reggie, but to me the man who steals the show is CJ, Reggie's boss. Fair warning: If you don't like to laugh, don't watch this show.
Rating: - British Comedy & Drama Fan!! (HKelley350@aol.com)
Received Set 1 & 2 on 10/30/02. Have sat through the (2)collection sets on 11/1/02, and immediately became an instant connoisseur of the The Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin. I am the only one in my family, as well as circle of friends, who enjoys British humor. I continue to look for opportunities to purchase good British humor and mysteries. Have all of Sherlock Holmes-Jeremy Brett; Keeping Up Appearance; To The Manor Born; Rumpole of the Bailey; The Irish R.M.; several sets of Hercule ... Read More
Rating: - One of the truly great comic characters in TV history
Over twenty-five years after it first appeared, this series remains one of the funniest ever made for English-language television. There are several reasons that it is a good series. There is one reason that it is a very great one: Leonard Rossiter. While the scripts are uniformly excellent, while the various cast members range from good to excellent, and while the creative forces behind the series never flag in their inventiveness and energy, this would have been merely a good but forgettable show ...

Rating: - Reginald Perrin -- the best BritCom ever!
I didn't get where I am today without knowing that "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin" is, quite simply, the best Britcom -- no, the best television comedy -- ever made. Leonard Rossiter (Reggie Perrin) is brilliant, and the entire cast is superb. My wife and I have been watching these shows over and over for more than 20 years, and my teenage daughter is hooked as well. Our conversation is laced with Reggie-isms (sometimes to the bafflement of our friends and relatives). I recommend that you ... Read More
Rating: - "I Didn't Get Where I Am Today Without A 3rd Series!"
There WAS indeed a third series in the Reggie Perrin saga!! Series 3 featured one of my favorite sequences: C.J. as a street bum/minstrel singing "I Didn't Get Where I Am Today!" as Reggie walks by! It's been YEARS since I last saw Series 3, but I do remember that part well enough! Sadly, BFS Video has stated to me that they have no plans to release Series 3 to video(with NO caveats such as "in the immediate future"--sounds like a definite "no go").
