I am French, and this series was never released in France. And I am surprised that no user, even from UK, has commented it yet. I know it is not aired in Great Britain anymore but that doesn't explain this. There are many episodes and only a few had been recently released on DVD sets. There are some which are not worth watching, unless you need sleeping pills, but there is a batch very very good, even better than some movie theater movies, such as the terrific WHERE I LIVE episode, directed by Ted Kotcheff, twenty years before he gave us FIRST BLOOD. A very poignant story of a couple whose the daughter doesn't want her father to live with them anymore and asks her brother - who also lives in a couple - if he can. It appears that neither of them wants to take care of the old man. A real must see, very poignant. I commented it. I guess it's here a top of the list of this huge anthology Tv show.
