Average Rating: Rating: - I left my heart at 28 Barbary Lane. This is the most feel good series on DVD, it is the closest thing to comfort food for your mind and heart. After seeing the first VHS tape of this series, I went out and bought all six of the Tales books. They were good reading when I went out to sea onboard USS Kitty Hawk. I even got other sailors to read them. Of course life at sea can be so boring you'd read the label on a bottle of GP cleaner. I finally saw the whole series when we returned from cruise. I got hold of a fourth generation copy of the series on VHS, since it was out of print at the time. I watched them on my duty day onboard the ship. By the last tape we had quite a crowd watching. It will be nice to finally see a quality copy of the series. I already own More and Further Tales on DVD. I would recommend this and the other series to anyone, although I feel the cast in this series was the best. Rating: - Something for everybody The "Tales of the City" series has become dear to my heart - probably my favorite movie of all time. The characters are one's that you'll love, from Mona's search for her purpose in life, to Mouse's quest for love, to Mary Ann's innocent take on things. Especially wonderful is Olympia Dukakis as Anna Madrigal. Her devotion to the Tales movies is commendable and her performance is outstanding. All in all, this is a great story about life in San Francisco in the 70s, from gay to straight, hippies to suits, poor to weathly. The plot keeps you craving for more. Also, I have yet to meet anyone who has seen this and not liked it. And to top it, the books are even better. Enjoy! Rating: - Five solid hours of pure entertainment! This wonderful PBS adaptation of Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City" is remarkably faithful to the book, a delightful look at San Francisco during the era of free-love. The cast, led by Olympia Dukakis as mysteriously quirky landlady Anna Madrigal, brings the tenants of 28 Barbary Lane to life on the small screen. Trivia buffs will undoubtedly smile when they see Thomas Gibson, better known to 90s TV fans as Greg on the television show "Dharma & Greg," as Beauchamp Day, one of the many unforgettable characters in this mini-series. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will make you wish YOU were a resident of Barbary Lane. But be forewarned: At Barbary Lane, absolutely nothing is considered taboo. So grab a bowl of popcorn, Babycakes, and enjoy the ride! END
