Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Rich Man Poor Man be careful
I was so happy to surprise my husband with one of his favorite mini series that we have not been able to find. It took a very long time to get here, and on x-mass morning when he wanted to watch it we found out that we did not have the right dvd player for the region, I guess it only plays in England. We never knew there were regions and everyone I asked also knew nothing about it.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent and better than I remembered
After waiting many years for this to be available, I was not at all disappointed!!! In many ways it was much better than I remembered! I had a much different take watching it as an adult than as a teen. Personally, while my girlfriends were digging Nick Nolte, I was and still am a huge Peter Strauss fan!! I still have my Rudy Jordache poster! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed watching and discussing it!! If you like Peter Strauss, I recommend Massada. Another terrific performance!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - definately the latter
not as good as I remembered it but hey what things from the 70's are?



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Rich Man Poor Man Book 1 3-DVD Set
An excellent TV series. I wish it was available in USA. Very happy with transection.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Please release for US DVD viewing
Like a previous review, I can only praise this mini-series and am disappointed and bemused as to why it has never been released for DVD viewing in the USA format. It has been a joke trying to contact the original distributor and studio to voice a complaint. If anyone knows how to facilitate a "request" campaign...please share!
