I've watched it for years on PBS and then got tired of all pledge drives preempting my weekly dose of Hyacinth so I bought the entire set on DVD. I really enjoy the characters and Hyacinth's outfits are to die for. I have an aunt who is reminds me so much of Hyacinth it's uncanny. Every time I watch an episode, it feels like coming home. Yes, it's formulaic but it's still uproariously funny. Definitely one of the bests sit-coms I've ever seen. Patricia Rutledge's portrayal of Hyacinch Bucket (pronounced Bouquet) is hysterical and Clive Swift is terrific in his portrayal of her long suffering husband. The DVD sets have some nice extras and interviews. Keeping Up Appearances has broad appeal; from bikers to attorneys to my mother (who is reminded of her sister).
