Caroline in the City - The First Season (1995)

underrated gem

I liked this show on tv and the dvd is well put together. With tv comedy the way it is today it's refreshing to watch a traditional sitcom with a live audience and good heart. A few actors from FRASIER appear and Lea/Caroline even has a dig at the notorious HOWARD THE DUCK! October 10, 2008

Worth it for Malcolm Gets

This is a show that had some incredible character actors and spent most of season 1 trying to figure out how to put them to good use. Despite Lea Thompsons' charm and energy onscreen, she is the weak link in the lineup of Eric Lutes, Andy Lauer, Amy Pietz and especially Malcolm Gets. Despite some slipshod development and mostly boring plotlines, the cast makes the most out of their one-liners and natural chemistry, and while it's not a brilliant show, it is enjoyably watchable. I saw it with my two siblings, both young adults, and while neither one of them had ever seen the show before, they had plenty of laughs and wanted me to put in Season 2 right after we finished, which is the best recommendation anyone can give.

My one problem: I live in NY. What kind of money is she making that she can afford a loft like that? I know they shot this in the 90's and everything was cheaper and cheerier back then, but for you NYC city-dwellers, check her place out and get back to me. Where do you find an NYC apt like that except in a TV studio? September 18, 2008

Actually, the episodes are in order.

I don't understand why people say the episodes aren't in order. In the box you got the air dates for each one of them, and they are in correct order.
In fact, the last one shouldn't be there by story, but it's in the right place by air date.

About the story: it's great fun. The only bad thing is: sometimes things happen that they don't show (as when Richard got her first girlfriend. She just appears, it seems like something's missing).

About the dvds: it could have more special features.

Funny, but not in order

I was so looking forward to watching this... and it was awesome. I love Richard's dry sense of humor.
I only wish the episodes were in order. Whomever decided to just "slap" these on the dvd without even bothering to check the order should be fired. That's why the 3 stars.

I don't think I'll purchase the rest of the seasons. If the first set wasn't in order, I doubt the rest will be. August 28, 2008

Love, love, love!

This is one of the most underrated sitcoms of all time. The show was brilliantly cast, well-written, and (actually) funny. Do check this out-you won't be sorry! August 23, 2008
