Benson - The Complete First Season (DVD, 2007, 3-Disc Set)

Benson is funny as always. He keeps the governor's mansion running smooth and keeps the governor out of all kinds of trouble. He also keeps the governor's aide Taylor in line. Taylor is such a snot. Marcy counts on Benson to keep the governor straight. Katie also counts on Benson to help her out with her dad and I just love the governor - he is soooo goofy and Katie is a doll. Benson even keeps Ms. Krause in line. I love the episode where her and Benson were stuck in the cellar and the fire department had to rescue them. One of my favorite episodes was the first episode where Benson is being chased by the dogs and also the episode where Katherine Hellmond goes out on a date with the Count and he dies. She has to call on Benson for help.

I used to watch Benson in the 80s and now I can watch it on DVD. IT was a good show and the governor reminds me of president Carter because he has a daughter or president Reagan because he is older.

Great to see this high-quality television sitcom now available on DVD. Although the visual quality is not entirely what we have become accustomed to, I have watched the episodes in this first season with lots of pleasure and hope subsequent seasons will be released on DVD soon. The extras, including interviews with actor Robert Guillaume and several other cast members, as well as with the show's producer or director, are also very enjoyable. I can highly recommend fans of this TV show purchase this DVD.

This is comedy at its best!! Benson is a very good wholesome show that the entire family can enjoy together. In the days of "reality" TV, it is nice to enjoy a true sitom that simply wants to make you chuckle.

My husband love this dvd. Just before he get ready for bed he watches it. Ik happen to check it out and can say i cannt wait until seanson 2. Thanks Sonya

I grew up watching Benson, but now 25 years older, I really appreciate the humor and the witty writing. Creator Susan Harris, who went on to create Golden Girls and other sitcoms, successfully spun-off this character in Benson. Even a half-century later, the comedy is still relevant and much funnier and cleaner than a lot of other comedies on TV today.
