American sitcoms usually have a bland, likable central character who has to cope with obnoxious acquaintances--who usually provide most of the actual comedy. The British smartly put the comic personalities front and center, and Keeping Up Appearances has one of the best: The petty, pretentious, tyrannical Hyacinth Bucket (played by the impressive Patricia Routledge), a dowdy middle-class social climber with a piercing voice and an unshakable faith in herself. Upon learning that her mailman has seven children, she declares disapprovingly, "Quite an achievement when you have to be up so early." Whether she's scheming to invite a minor local celebrity to a garden party or scowling at an enormous dog left in her driveway, Hyacinth terrorizes all around her, particularly her long-suffering husband Richard (Clive Swift), who takes a small delight in subverting her efforts from time to time; her trembling neighbors Elizabeth and Emmett (Josephine Tewson and David Griffin), who scarcely leave their house lest they be invited in to coffee; and her sexually frustrated lower-class sisters Daisy and Rose (Judy Cornwell and Mary Millar) and Daisy's layabout husband Onslow (Geoffrey Hughes), who longs to be left in peace to eat chips and watch the races. Though Americans aren't as class-conscious as the Brits, snobbery is universal, and Keeping Up Appearances has developed an appreciative cult following on this side of the Atlantic. --Bret Fetzer

This is a very funny way to accept the neighbor. We all have it so lucky! Even husbands. We all kinda learn lessons daily,on how we have life so much easier. Even people who have a lot of money have problems also. This show slowly, without people knowing it,very cleanly, shows us the good and the bad parts of life. Everyone usually thinks that people with money has it easy, but, there still may be something there hiding. This is a funny but learning show, and we enjoy watching it very much.

All I can say is put the kettle on and set your self in front of the tv. I absolutely love this show. Our dear Patricia Routledge does a great job as Hyacinth Bucket or should I say Bouquet ;). There are some moments which arn't funny but overall it's the most funniest show I've seen.
I definitely could watch this over and over again and still keep laughing at it.
It's worth the buy for any fan of british sitcoms!

Keeping Up Appearances isn't merely one of the all-time great British television comedies, but the dowager lady Hyacinth Bucket, as played by the peerless Patricia Routledge, is undoubtedly also one of the greatest comic figures in British history, a new breed of distaff Falstaff for our current gilded age.
When I watch Ms. Routledge do her formidable stuff here -- she knows she is playing one of the most indelible characters ever, and boy, does she go to town with it! -- I think of ... Read More

My wife and I have always enjoyed the British comedy "Keeping up Appearances". Our love of this show has gotten several other friends to also share our love. Hence, we had to buy more because of the ones we had given to our friends to enjoy.
