Product Description

From Amazon.com

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse's immortal characters are brought to glorious life in this hilarious series starring Hugh Laurie as the chinless but charming Bertie Wooster and Stephen Fry as his valet and frequent savior, Jeeves. Superb period detail, performers who seem to have been born for these roles, and a hearty helping of Wodehouse wit make these shows essential viewing for anyone in search of a sophisticated chuckle.

This collection comprises the second season of this delightful show, including the following six episodes: "Jeeves Saves the Cow-Creamer," "A Plan for Gussie," "Pearls Mean Tears," "Jeeves in the Country," "Kidnapped!," and "Jeeves the Matchmaker." --Simon Leake

4.0 out of 5 stars The 2nd season-good, but not best, Nov 14 2003

By

Jeremiah Lons (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jeeves & Wooster Set (VHS Tape)

First off, as a die-hard fan of P.G. Wodehouse, I am critical at best. The First season surpassed my wildest dreams, in short, it was excelent. The second season fell short, however, inasmuch as many of the characters previously introduced in the first season were reintroduced being played by entirely different actors. That was semidisapointing. Also, some of the acting is a little less Wodehouse-y then in the first. I was delighted with Gussie once again, though, and I would still recomend buying it; its well worth the money, and is as good as it is going to get on this earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarity for the whole family!, Sep 27 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Jeeves & Wooster Set (VHS Tape)

Non-stop British hilarity and fun. Dim and good-hearted Bertie Wooster meets his perfect foil in the intelligent and imperious Jeeves. The Depression never hits and the war never comes in these light-hearted and innocent romps. If your whole family likes to laugh, don't hesitate to buy this set!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost as good as season one..., April 30 2002

By

Eve Starr (San Antonio, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jeeves & Wooster Season #2 (DVD)

Stephen Fry is the first actor ever to capture the real Jeeves, and Hugh Laurie makes Bertie utterly plausible, in spite of the absurd ways he tends to land himself in the bullion. These dvds must be in your collection if you love Wodehouse; they're worth repeated viewings, as every detail is a treat. Make sure to get season one. The very first episode manages to introduce you to the lunacy to come, and Bertie's utter dependence on Jeeves in only a few scenes. See you at the Drones!

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't start with the second DVD!
I, thinking this was along the lines of Mr. Bean or Blackadder, jumped to the second DVD and watched what ended up being a rather boring episode. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Great adaptation let down by poor DVD transfer
It's hard to describe how perfect these adaptations are: Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are flawless as suave manservant and feckless dandy, respectively. Read more
