Dear John

[flashrobbie]

They showed both versions in NZ and sorry but the other version was way better, a tragi-comedy about people coping with being left and being alone. It's just that they were working in different television traditions and emphasised fewer and rougher elements in this version. Pity because Americans can do tragicomedy quite well.

i love both the british and american version since they are essentialy the same.

[plodimus]

@doctorw2 The British version is much better as it is the original... which is why the USA copied it...as they do with a great many British shows. You just cannot beat the Brits for good, clean, wholesome 'Situation Comedy'.

this used to make me cry when i was a kid haha

[shaky914]

@zechs3 me too!! lol

Judd Hirsch is just unbeatable in anything he's in. He's a natural with that sad bloodhound look. They 're just re-running this series in Canada. I recall the original UK series which was superb (written by John Sullivan who so many great sitcoms like "Only Fools & Horses") Took me awhile to get used to the USA version but most of the episodes are wonderful.

full episodes were on here at one time. I favorited them but noticed one in my favorites that they were listed as "unavailible"...thanks youtube...

[rijeka8]

Now if only it were the whole song. :(

[Dundasholes]

I wish full episodes were on here. This show was great.

[Brandtley86]

there were I saw time but you know how you tube is. They must have taken them all down.

[Featureman]

I remember they had some of the episodes up here but they were removed. It might have been by Viacom. We did these at Paramount and Viacom owns all that now. I would imagine they own this show but it is possible it is owned by a production company. I wish they would leave them up at YouTube. If nothing else it is good advertising for the show.

i knoow i was pist when they took the show off the air...shit, o'm still pist bout it :(

[Cjl99]

aw you cut off the best part..."Hi Honey... I'm Home" ;-)

[GROINHOLD101]

I Guess the guy Featureman on youtube if you watch one of his videos it says he was an actor in a tv series and i then asked him which one and he said this one.

[Featureman]

Hi. Yes I was in every episode. All 90 plus the pilot. I never saw the British version but I have heard it is great. I think this is being shown on cable again because I am getting some little checks once in awhile.

[milson2003]

great show. great memories! that an essentially depressing life could be so funny. Very comforting show.

[JaguarOFcomedy]

I never really watched them but I remember the intro from my childhood. Dear John 5*****

[toadieisgod]

The UK version was so much better.

Ralph Bates was superb

[goodguygilly]

The programme was Dear John usa, it was written by John Sullivan and was screened here in the Uk first as Dear John.
