    Absolutely love this show. It hits all the right cords. It's funny, it's sad, it's dramatic, it's relatable. People can see themselves in similar roles and situations. It's tugs on the heart strings. I can watch it with my 23 year old son, or my 85 years grandmother. Everyone gets something out of it. It was very sad when Geoffrey passed away. I have watched the entire series multiple times, and will continue to do so, with the same enjoyment of it's first season. The grandmother has gone now, but I think of her every time I watch a re-run, as she also got so much enjoyment from it.

    I knew one couple who were in love and through misadventure lost contact with one another for twenty-five years. They were ecstatic to find one another again, married and remained steadfastly devoted to one another for the remainder of their lives. So, don't think for a moment that the premise for As Time Goes By couldn't happen in real life!

    What I love so much about the show is it’s a nice quiet comedy with well written natural humor. It does not have a 30 minutes
    of a cheesy laugh track and one liner after another. They all felt like real people that you have known for years. It’s very cozy and safe when you need it.

    “Gentle comedy” is exactly why so many of us love this show. I have all the dvds and still pay for Brit Box to get this and Keeping Up Appearances, Are you being served? and Absolutely Fabulous. This show is something I can fall asleep to, listen to while I’m doing chores, or watch while I’m having my lunch. I never grow tired of the episodes.
