Customer Reviews

Comedy gold suitable for the whole family!
MY FAMILY has to be the funniest sitcom of recent years: it has everything: witty dialogue, great, hilarious characters, absolutely wonderful situations that drop in and out of madness, but also many elements that families can relate to, for example, funerals, teenagers, parties and the dreaded decorating. The DVD is a tremendous buy and an enormous value for money, 2 discs and 13 half hours episodes for £15.
Anyway, meet the Harpers, side splittingly amusing and dyfunctional kings of comedy. Stressed out denist Ben who hates his job, his wife and life in general. Then there's control freak bossy wife Susan, a gourment nightmare and a tour guide. Eldest child Nick is a pricless comic, his lines, his face, everything he says is comedy genuis. Throughout the 13 episodes Nich has about 13 jobs... Meet Janey, a normal typical teenager obseesed with fashion, money and boys. Finally there's geeky fourteen year old Michael who is cleverer than all of his family put together!
The episodes included in this brilliant double disc set are:
ALL ROADS LEAD TO RAMON: Susan reluctantly gives a job to Nick, Janey offers something all men want for extra tuision and Ben isn't getting on too well with his new assistant. *****

BREAKABLE: The series ends a real high: My Family at its brilliant best. Nick has an accidnet while taking part in a motor bike stunt display team. *****

So there you have it: thirteen little gems that appeal to everyone of all ages. Can't wait for Series 3 where the comedy keeps on coming.

Excellent Quality Comedy
I thoroughly enjoyed series one of this fine example of contemporary British comedy, so I was excited about getting the second series on DVD. I have ended up spending most of the day sitting on the sofa watching the discs through. Sad in a way, but really thoroughly enjoyable. This is definitly the best series yet as the later episodes are not really as funny. If you are torn between getting series 1 and series 2, then get series 2, definitly the most enjoyable. The only way that they could have improved the discs would have been to add some extras onto the discs.

What A laugh!
My family has to be one of the BBC's best comedys from recent years. With thirteen episodes on two disks this is a great buy. If you like great comedy, then you'll LOVE My Family!
