Product Description
From Amazon.com
'Allo, 'Allo! was a wildly popular British sitcom making unlikely humor of the German occupation of France, succeeding because of its sheer lunacy, and the amiable performance of veteran British character actor Gordon Kaye, as café owner René Artois. René finds himself surrounded by buffoonish German officers, who are easily duped yet still keep René on his toes, and sometimes in hot water. He also must juggle the imperious French Resistance leader, Michelle DuBois (recurring gag: Michelle says, "Listen very carefully. I shall say this only once"--but never manages to get out the urgent message), his jealous wife (Carmen Silvera), and all his staff waitresses, who find the doughy René sexually irresistible. It is all très French, n'est-ce pas? Yet also very British in its broad slapstick tone; and American TV buffs will see more than a hint of Hogan's Heroes, M*A*S*H, and even the old spy series Get Smart. This chunk of season 5, with 13 episodes on two discs, features as many crazy sight gags as ever, including a special "spy camera" disguised inside a potato. Why a potato? wonders René. "Because," drones Michelle in a fake French accent you could drive a Citroën through, "you cannot get carrots that beeg." But of course. Extras include cast biographies and trailers. --A.T. Hurley

Funny WWII Storyline, May 24 2011
By Terripen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 'Allo 'Allo! The Complete Series Five, Part Un (DVD)
I saw this show years ago in PBS. Couldn't stop laughing so when I saw the series at another establishment (wish I had used Amazon, could have saved a bunch), I purchased the entire series. It is still as funny as I had remembered from years ago. If you are going to buy series five, buy 1 thru 4 first. Although it is not necessary to enjoy the later shows, the storyline has a beginning, and if you have seen the first series, it makes it better.

Exceptional!, Sep 6 2010
By E. Borgman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 'Allo 'Allo! The Complete Series Five, Part Un (DVD)
The series has had it's ebbs and flows in quality. Season Five, Part One has to be the funniest season so far! I missed the departure of a couple of characters in season three, but the show was back in stride with this season. It is very very funny. The bizarre Herr Flick episodes have be trimmed and changed to make them funnier and less redundant. Jack Haig shines as LeClare and there are some very funny scenes where his schtick is stolen by a couple of the main characters. Marner and Siner shine in this season as well. The newer characters have settled in and add to the fun and enjoyment. I recommend it!

This review is from: 'Allo 'Allo! The Complete Series Five, Part Un (DVD)
Very funny as usual Will probably get the rest of the series. You really don't have to see it in sequence. But it is better if you can.
