DvD Description
When Ben and Susan Harper sit down with their youngest son, Michael, to reassure him that they're not getting a divorce in series 1, you might wonder why they don't give separation a try. Ben, a dentist, and Susan, the worst cook in the world, are certainly loving, caring parents, they just have a problem showing it. Their kids - Janie, entering that diabolical phase of late-teenage; Nick, full of unworkable plans and irritating good-humour; and Michael, at the manipulative, know-it-all age - don't mince their words either.

Series 1 to 7 of the phenomenally successful family comedy featuring the misadventures of the dysfunctional Harper household.

Synopsis
The first seven series of the BBC's award-winning sitcom My Family charts the trials of Ben Harper, a dentist, his wife Susan and their wayward, insolent children. Robert Lindsay, in his first sitcom since 1977's Citizen Smith, stars as the long-suffering Ben, and Zoe Wannamaker plays Susan, his tour-guide spouse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny!, 6 Nov 2007
I have been watching My Family since the first series and I think that it is a great British comedy. I find many of the situations easy to relate to and I think the writers do well to make the audience feel as though they are being allowed inside the Harper family.
Obviously Nick is a favourite character for a lot of people as he provides the majorities of the laughs. I think that Zoe Wanamaker and Robert Lindsay play a very good married couple and they seem very comfortable with each other which makes their roles more believable.

I am so pleased that at last, we can have series 1-7 all together!

5.0 out of 5 stars A comedy that never bores me, 16 Jan 2008
By Stealth Sculler (Shropshire, UK) - See all my reviews
I just love watching this comedy. I keep seeing the repeats on UKGOLD and can watch episodes again and again - The problem is that like many program repeats they are never shown in production order, so I am now the happy owner of the complete box set so I can watch them back to back from the start.

The acting is superb, and if as one review states, the writing is like that of formulaic American sitcoms (which I hate) then at least it shows that it's the comedy that counts, and the BBC know how to make it funny.

I also still find that the quality hasn't diminished even since most peoples favourite character Nick (Kris Marshall) left the series - the newer characters have fitted in perfectly.

One point to make about Amazon's Synopsis - This is not the first sitcom Robert Lindsey has appeared in since Citizen Smith - He appeared in the 2 series of the very surreal channel 4 series 'Nightingales' in 1990, currently available at a very low price from Amazon. If you haven't seen it then you will either love it or hate it - It is weird (I love it).

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Comedy, 3 Nov 2007
By S. Harris "SPIDER_FAN106" (Swindon, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This BBC comedy is a fun show. It has lots of great moments that you will remember for a long time.

The best character is Nick because everything he does is so stupid yet hilarious at the same time!! Unfortuanetly he is only in the series for the first 3-4 seasons.

The show also has other excellent characters such as Ben, the dad of the family. he is incredibly moody and the actor(Robert Lindsay)excels at playing this character. The other characters in the show all have there parts and play them well.

The show comes together to form a good comedy show which you will enjoy.
