Of the NBC series that attempted to carry viewers from Seinfeld to ER in NBC's vaunted Thursday night line-up, Caroline in the City came closest to 'Must-See' status (no offense, Veronica's Closet). Unlike other woman-anchored sitcoms, Caroline in the City is not in the 'you're going to make it after all' vein of That Girl or The Mary Tyler Moore Show. As with series creator Fred Barron's previous series, Dave's World, Caroline in the City revolves around an artist whose chaotic personal life provides a fount of material. Caroline (the babe-dorable Lea Thompson, best known as Marty McFly's mother in the Back to the Future trilogy) is already a success. She draws the highly popular 'witty and carefree' comic strip about a hapless single woman who is not Cathy. As this inaugural season unfolds, Caroline finds herself increasingly torn between two men. The first is Del (Eric Lutes), her on-again-off-again boyfriend for whom she creates Caroline merchandise for his dad's greeting card company. The second is Richard (Malcolm Gets), Caroline's new assistant and a struggling artist with a sardonic wit that's a tonic to the show. Caroline and Richard don't generate sparks like Sam and Diane or David and Maddie; They are more Ross and Rachel, and the season gets more involving once the romantic tension tightens. Adding spunk to the series is Annie (Amy Pietz), Caroline's neighbor and best friend, and a Broadway dancer (she's in Cats). Annie and Richard make fine and funny natural-born enemies (they address each other as 'tightass' and 'tart'). Helping to get the fledgling series aloft like the Caroline in the City parade balloon in the Thanksgiving episode is a roster of fellow 'Must-See' stars (David Hyde Pierce and Jane Leeves from Frasier, Matthew Perry from Friends, and Jonathan Silverman from The Single Guy), as well as future Gilmore Girl Lauren Graham in a recurring role as Richard's flakey and impossible to shake girlfriend, and TV icons (Jean Stapleton as Caroline's aunt, Florence Henderson as herself, and in the poignant episode, 'Caroline and the Watch,' Rose Marie and Morey Amsterdam, though it's off-putting to hear the former Buddy and Sally joke about 'screwing'). A top 5 show in its first season, Caroline would prove it was more than a time-slot hit (a series that benefits from the popular show that precedes it) when it went on to hold its own on Tuesday, and then Monday, nights. Those who were living for the City will welcome its arrival on DVD. Those just making Caroline's acquaintance should beware the bonus episode promos; some, like 'Caroline and the Folks,' contain major plot spoilers. --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - Funny, but not in order
I was so looking forward to watching this... and it was awesome. I love Richard's dry sense of humor.
I only wish the episodes were in order. Whomever decided to just "slap" these on the dvd without even bothering to check the order should be fired. That's why the 3 stars.
I don't think I'll purchase the rest of the seasons. If the first set wasn't in order, I doubt the rest will be.
Rating:  - Love, love, love!
This is one of the most underrated sitcoms of all time. The show was brilliantly cast, well-written, and (actually) funny. Do check this out-you won't be sorry!
Rating: - Worth buying for the entertainment value.
This is a great series, however, as in the UK release, not all the episodes are in the correct order. Compared to the list given by the other reviewer, there is one episode out of order (Caroline and the Condom is at the end of the last disk.) However, in watching the episodes in the revised order there was still a bit of discontinuity in the story line. Also, the casing seems to be very fragile and easily broken during shipment. But the picture and sound is just fine and it is definitely worth ... Read More
