This boxed set contains the entire first season of Jeeves and Wooster. In "Jeeves Takes Charge," young man-about-town Bertie Wooster employs a new valet called Jeeves, and not a moment too soon. Thanks to his Aunt Agatha, Bertie faces the terrible prospect of marriage to the statuesque Honoria Glossop, and only Jeeves can save the day. "Tuppy and the Terrier" finds Bertie in trouble again when he loses Aunt Agatha's dog. Further aunt-related complications arise when Bertie's chum Tuppy falls for our hero's cousin Angela. Aunt Dahlia is not amused. An uncle in love with a waitress, a trip to the country, a speedy choirboy, and a secret betting syndicate all lead to trouble in "The Purity of the Turf." Jeeves, of course, is the only one who can put things right.
Jeeves and Wooster really hits its stride in the final episodes of the first series, "The Hunger Strike" and "Brinkley Manor." When Bertie visits Aunt Dahlia, he is called upon to solve the romantic problems of his friends Tuppy Glossop (in love with cousin Angela) and the delightful Gussy Fink-Nottle (in love with Madeleine Basset, a young lady who believes the stars to be God's daisy chain.) Unwisely, Bertie decides to cook up his own plan and before long disaster strikes. Aunt Dahlia's superb chef Anatole gives his notice, and Bertram is to blame. Thank goodness for Jeeves. --Simon Leake

Customer Reviews of Jeeves & Wooster - The Complete First Season
Great series, but A&E messes this one up too. Jeeves and Wooster is great, no doubt about it. But A&E had an uncanny knack for screwing up the series it releases. Their "Monty Python's Flying Service" release looked terrible, and used edited tapes from the original English broadcasts. Their release of "The Prisioner" had audio mastering so bad in one set they had a recall to replace the discs. And, here's "Jeeves and Wooster". I guess no one remembers seeing theses on "Masterpiece Theater", but the masters A&E used for the DVD's have been edited for time to insert commercials. All the fade ins and fade outs are edits in the originals, which had no commercials. You can also see that the episodes aren't 60 minutes long. Whole scenes I remember seeing years ago in the uncut PBS broadcasts are missing from these DVD's. <
>Well, it's unlikely that "Jeeves and Wooster" will be released on DVD again any time soon, so these are better than nothing. If you've never seen the series at all you probably won't miss what's been cut.
A Real Comedy Riot
Of all the seasons of Jeeves & Wooster, the first season is by far the best. Steven Fry is perfect as Jeeves. I couldn't imagine anyone else in the role, and whenever I read the books, I imagine Steven Fry in the role. As for the reason why season one is the best, I would say that the supporting cast is the best of all the seasons. Particularly satisfying is the first episode in which Wooster meets Jeeves for the first time, and Jeeves saves Wooster from the clutches of the Amazonian Honoria Glossop. You won't stop laughing during that episode.
Wodehouse not for the short attention span viewer
"Jeeves and Wooster" season one came to me as a bonus disc set included in a "Emma Peel Megaset" of the "Avengers" (5 stars and a bag of crisps) I had no idea what I was in for. The title charectures; Jeeves, played by Steven Fry, Is a fiendishy brilliant charecture. None smoother and so frightfully "Under the stairs" British. Wooster, played by Hugh Laurie, Is a young tosspot. A pillock of noble birth who seems to reside in the stew, with only Jeeves for rescuer. The stories wind their way through the hour with 3 subplots forming a 3 strand rope to pull off the perfect coup of delight though sometimes maddening! The writers did a bang up job of establishing all charectures in season one. Casting in season one is nothing short of excellent. Season one is a great advertisement for seasons 2,3, and 4. Yanks would be well advised to obtain an authoritive "British language" book to further enhance their delight with these marvelous episodes. As an afterthought, If you love antiques (especially Art Deco) you'll find the sets of "Jeeves and Wooster" Pure eye candy!
