Yep.  31 years and I have, and watched, every episode.  Including the specials and First of the Summer Wine.  To a Tyke it is better than Corrie

My husband and I watched this sitcom again and again on our public television station. I loved the quaint and quirky characters, I loved the dialogue, I loved the music, the scenery -- everything! And then, inexplicably, all those wonderful British sitcoms disappeared from our station! We are in deep mourning. We truly loved those shows, even though (or maybe especially because) we knew almost every line by heart.

(I'm from a Philadelphia suburb in Pennsylvania, by the way -- pretty far from Great Britain.)

Oh, yes -- all of them were great! But our favorite remains "As Time Goes By", of which we bought DVD's of the complete set. But ALL of them were great! British comedy is the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!
