I watched CRUMS and What's Santa Brought Nora Batty? Now I'm ready for the reappearance of Foggy! Eventually I usually get there.

I have watched these shows up through the year 2000 many moon and sun rotations ago, so they aren't fully new. Oddly Up through Foggy's first leaving, I remembered them quite well but after that my memory has been spotty at best. Sometimes a poor memory is a good thing!

I have been caught in an untruth! Seymour would be very annoyed with me. The American DVD sets early on didn't include many of the specials and they were released on a separate DVD so the BBC could make more money off us poor Yankees. Earlier I had watched Merry Christmas, Father Christmas and...

I'm am rolling through them aren't I? Yes I'm still having fun watching them. I often watch a few at night to unwind and get ready to sleep.

Well just hit the last episode with Seymour. They seemed to fly along. I did enjoy them more than I remembered doing when I saw them years ago. Fascinating to see the change from the smaller cast in the first Foggy run to the expanded cast during the Seymour years. I wonder how Foggy will...

That makes sense. It did offer many more opportunities for comic fun featuring them at those locations as you say.

Wow thanks for that information. Don't tell anyone but I've been know to fall asleep at night watching. I usually try to rewind and catch what I missed but clearly I didn't catch all of a couple episodes or I just forgot.

Why is season 9 so long? It has twelve episodes and in the US DVDs includes Uncle of the Bride as well. A rare 3 DVD set. Whither Howard, Pearl and Marina in the second half of the season? This trio is completely gone missing in the last six episodes after appearing regularly in the first six...

That's about right. He and his wife were trying to farm in suburbia and always getting quite messy in the attempt and especially the neighbor's wife got annoyed though they were friends.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys it. I almost randomly started to watch to today just for a change of pace after it came up in conversation. Quite enjoying it.

Has anyone tried Good Life? It is a series where Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal play a couple who try to become self-sufficient in their backyard in the suburbs. There is a good storyline as they struggle along trying to mostly make it without money as they raise a garden, chickens, and a...

They do tend to run together somewhat. I did particularly like the wild blue yonder with the hang gliding and the one with the train I remember. Also the one with the church float for the parade. Oh and Greenfingers with the carrot.

Well I'm in luck as I'm hitting the greatest era then! There do seem to be fun episodes from the half dozen or so I've watched in this long season thus far.

Adrian Morris, that is true. I can't see the library idea carrying this show past a few seasons. The town and the setting are almost stars in their own right and certainly that library didn't have the same appeal.

Barrychuckle, it certainly had turned into an ensemble as I've been watching it which is fascinating. It should help carry the show though the changes though we shall see...

I suspect I will be the same. Long ago I watched through Compo's passing and then stopped. It will be interesting to see if I can go forward after that this time and meet some of the newer characters.

Thanks for all the thoughts and humor. It is fascinating to see the different opinions on if the trio could have gotten on as the sole focus of the show or if Howard, Pearl and Marina were needed for a change of pace and to fil up some script pages. Being me I started a whole new thread on the...

I'm deep into the long season 9 and it is amazing how the cast has expanded. It is now almost as much about the friends and neighbors as about the trio. The cafe with Ivy and now Crusher has always been there as has Nora as Compo's neighbor and interest. Wally seems to be featured more now both...

After drifting off and having an odd dream... Compo doesn't like the idea as he wants the board focused on the most important member of Last of the Summer Wine, Clegg thinks it is a great idea as he likes everything Roy Clarke ever wrote. Foggy wants the board to emphasize military disciple and...

Anticipating a future question thread... Did you think Seymour was able to carry the third man as well as Foggy and they were as good as ever?
