"Before buying this set I would strongly encourage you to use a web search tool for ''Upstairs, Downstairs' US DVD' and see for yourself just how bad the picture is on these DVDs. I can confirm that these DVDs are identical to the first US release of 'Upstairs, Downstairs', but simply repackaged and repriced lower. I own over 400 DVDs, have rented many more than that, and have never seen a worse transfer to DVD. If you must own this show on DVD buy a region-free DVD player and get one of the European sets. Not deserving of 1 star, but rather a square. Shameful. Avoid."
"This is one of my favorite 'comfort' movies. you don't have to think a lot, and there's not much deeper meaning. but as homage to hitchco**, foul play is just plain good entertainment. this needs to be on dvd in widescreen format!there. now i feel better. watch this one with your sweetie."
"love this movie so much. david chappelle did a wonderful job of doing what he does best, getting stoned and making people laugh. jim bruer was about the funniest character in this though. each dude has the most memorable quotes of any movie i have ever seen which is quite an accomplishment, especially for a stoner flick. even the guy on the couch did a wonderful job of doing nothing. where else are you gonna have a character in a movie where all he does is sleep on the couch, barely making an effort to even smoke weed. well i don't do drugs though, just weed. me and my buddies used to take roles in this movie and recite all the lines. well, i don't know how many times i seen it, but i still haven't gotten tired of it because it is an innocent happy stoner effort from beginning to end."
"I purchased the first issuance of usds when it first came out. i returned it five times only to find out that the glitches were in all production issuance. when i heard that usds was to be reissued 'digitally remastered' i was over joyed. i have made it through about one half of the series. it has been repackaged, but don't expect an improved picture quality. Shame< shame a & e for a rotten reproduction of one of the best mini series of all time."
"There's just something about this film that makes us watch it over and over again -- discussing, analyzing endlessly. Put it away for a while, but there you are again making new friends watch it so you can hear their comments as well. This is a film that definitely deserves a place in your collection. But, beware... You may also find yourself wondering: What IS IT about this movie?"
