I'm from America and I absolutely LOVE As Time Goes By. I discovered the show on PBS, and was not at all interested at first, but I was drawn in by the endearing characters of the show. At first I had a hard time understanding the dialog because of the English accent, but after watching the show for years, I now understand every word that is spoken. I get a kick out of the different British idiom like "bell me", which in America we would say: Call me. Alistair Deacon is a riot! Always a fun character. At I love the straight laced Lionel, always trying to make sense of how women react and think. Jean is so spontaneous and and sweet. They play off of each other perfectly. I now have all of the episodes on DVD and I never tire of watching it, which I am quite sure that the show will always be a classic! I find that the series transcends all generations. I am 54 and my son is 32 and we both love the show.
