I was wondering is fawlty towers a good enough show to purchase on dvd? And whats the american sitcom based on fawlty towers?

I say go for it. Fawlty Towers was a good show. The DVD set is definatly on my wish list.
The great thing about the britcoms is you can usually pick up the entire series in one purchase.

The Americanized version of Fawlty Towers was a show called "Payne" (sp) which starred John Larroquette and maybe Jobeth williams, I think.. It aired a few years back and it was awful.

I own it on DVD! There were 2 American versions the aforementioned Payne with John and Jobeth and "Amanda's" with Bea Arthur.

I bought the DVD boxset when it came out last year and it's really good to get great quality picture and sound on the episodes, there's also some good features such as out takes and interviews so if you like the show it's definetly worth it.

Ditto!

An essential buy.

I have the 3 DVD box set, it's well worth the money.

Yes! You MUST get the DVDs. They are amazing, they have audio commentary, interviews, and everything. Wonderful stuff.

Fawlty Towers is easily the funniest sitcom ever. Long live Basil! LOL! :crazy:

yes

Throw everything else out and buy this.

I've owned the box set for years now (its on VHS for krissake) and still enjoy it. definitely a good buy. the only problem is that it will leave you hungry for more and there isnt any:mad:

I bought the DVD box set shortly after it was released, it's well worth the money.
