 Cleaned-up Dialogue is Offensive Idea March 17, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
San Francisco is my hometown. Armstead Maupin's "Tales of the City" is about my hometown and the "real" people who live there. I've been a big fan of Maupin's work from the start and own the original VHS tapes of "Tales". I was about to order the DVD set until I read a couple of reviews that alerted me the dialogue had been "cleaned up." I wouldn't have the DVD set under any circumstances!!!

I was very pleased with both the price and quick turn-around and would definitely recommend this seller.
Great Series Made of Great Book January 19, 2008

Anyone who enjoyed reading Maupins books will be happy with this collection of CDs. This classic (how quickly did this series become a classic!) TV production rendered both the story and (by far more important) the mood of the crazy San Francisco of 1970s. One third of a century later, we may laugh at the cars, dresses, shirts and all that made up the visual part of the 70s but we must not miss what the film is really about - love and tolerance.
Best bit of television I've ever seen November 29, 2007

First off I want to say that I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and this miniseries perfectly captures the Bay Area of the 70s. The story and characters present a perfect snapshot of that time. Besides loving the story and characters, watching this miniseries makes me nostalgic for my teenage years. It is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

you can get the "original" from Channel 4 Video--it was Channel 4 not BBC-1 or BBC-2 who produced it in the UK. You have to have an all region DVD player to play it. The transfer looks quite good. Regardless it is a must have for fans of great TV.
