If you're thinking of ordering the new DVD set of I'm Dickens, He's Fenster, now might be a fine time. Its makers are taking orders now for Volume One which features 16 episodes (i.e., half of all that were made) of this funny 1962 sitcom plus many special features. Some but not all of the bonus goodies will be available when the mass-market (and probably cheaper) DVD set comes out next April but I know you. You want all the bells 'n' whistles…and hey, you might even get a free autographed card from the stars, John Astin or Marty Ingels. Find out about the offer and order at this website.
Should you not be familiar with this series…well, I don't want to oversell it. It was a wonderful little show that deserved to run many, many seasons and didn't, and I remember loving it a lot. Many of the shows I loved back then do not withstand later consideration. I watch an old My Favorite Martian and as often as not, find myself wondering, "What did I ever see in this show?" But I've seen some I'm Dickens, He's Fenster episodes lately and they still make me laugh. I'm especially impressed with the quantity and quality of physical humor they did…a rarity in the era of talk-talk-talk comedies. And Frank DeVol is indecently funny whenever he's on-screen. Check it out and see if it makes you laugh, too.
