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.

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.

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!

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).

Hi
I like this show very much, although its plot is often only watching the embarrassment of its characters.
The big Problem with this package is that all the special episodes are missing. The important Plot changes in these episodes (The leaving of Nick, Introducing of Alfie, etc.) are relevant to follow the story.
So the title "The complete series One - Seven" is misleading!!!
