Summary: Makes you want to move to San Francisco!
Review: I enjoyed this series so much that I went out and bought the 5 other books in the Tales of the City series. This incredible story draws you into these peoples lives. You instantly care about what happens to them and wish you lived at 28 Barbary Lane. I also liked the cameo appearance by the author in "Tales and More Tales videos". I wish the author would continue the story past "Sure of You".

Summary: Tales of the City-Maupin at his very best!!!!
Review: I have always have been a fan of Maupin's books so when they were made into movies, I was thrilled to see them. They didn't disappoint. The story is fascinating and well-acted with great cinematography. It's a great adaptation of Maupin's words.

Summary: Essential DVD Library Addition
Review: I have very few DVDs in my library, but this is going to be one of them. I never get tired of seeing Tales of the City on my VHS copy. It is just honestly a good story. I bought the other DVDs in the series as soon as they were released, and now I am so thankful they went back and did the original so I can add it to my collection. This series is a must-have.

Summary: Great viewing for liberal people/great laughs.
Review: I liked this series a lot, good dialogue, good comedy, and a little tragedy. If you are liberal, gay, or straight, try to be open minded and you will realize that God made all of us, and we all have something to contribute to society. Everyone is different, and we must learn to cope, and to get along. Olympia Dukakis is great, and all the costars are too. A must see for anyone who can relate to the sixties when sex was rampant, and for anyone who is curious.

Summary: Hugely Entertaining Mini-series!!!
Review: I remember back around the year 93 or 94 a co-worker of mine urging me to see this. I resisted thinking I would hate it. I finally relented thinking my co-worker and I had very similar tastes in film & television and if she liked it how bad could it be. So I took the tapes home and one night when I was really bored I popped it in. Well I cannot tell you how entranced I was with this story and its characters. I almost couldn't stop watching. It's very addictive....trust me. In fact, the story is so good and its characters so true to life that it makes you yearn for a place like 28 Barbary Lane in San Francisco. I wanted a landlady just like Mrs. Madrigal and friends like Mary-Ann, Brian, Mouse, & Mona. And now finally the dvd release of my absolute favorite mini-series of all time. I guess there is a GOD!!! There are also some nice features included with the series which is great. So if you find yourself on the fence debating the cost of this purchase allow me to steer you in the proper direction in making a decision. Buy this dvd now!!! You will not regret it. And in case you need any more arm twisting, you'll also notice that of the 21 reviews posted every single one of them rated this a 5.

Summary: BEWARE: THIS VERSION IS EDITED
Review: I've been waiting for "Tales of the City" to come out on DVD for years.
The first intallment of this series is excellent ****** The actors give such fun, humane and real performances. The entire production is a true gem. However, though the DVD box claims it is the unedited version,
all of the "curse" words are over-dubbed with "clean" words. Unfortunately, this really alters the dialogue is certain scenes.
Being such a fan of the series, I sadly returned my copy, and willcontinue to watch it on VHS, unless they put out a truly "unedited" DVD.

Summary: Finally!!!
Review: I've been waiting for this to show up on DVD since the format got introduced... as a naive gay man coming to S.F. during the 70's, I think Tales of the City is one of the most accurate descriptions of what it was like to be here during that time. The people, the clothes, the music, the Quaaludes, the attitudes are totally right on target. It's a great series and still leaves me with kind of a wistful feeling and a lot of great memories. BUY IT, you'll love it!
