Pros of the As Time Goes By: Complete Seasons 8 and 9 DVD Collection

This is a great set to have, as it concludes the series. It contains two discs instead of the usual one disc, and it contains ten episodes instead of the usual seven. This DVD collection also contains a lot of humorous scenes including Alistair’s physical reaction to finally taking the plunge. This is a very romantic set as the relationships between the younger members of the cast are finally cemented. In addition to great material in the regular episodes, this DVD collection also contains great bonus materials. You not only get the usual trailers, but you also get three interviews with Lionel, Judith, and Alistair, but you also get a one hour special that recaps the entire series.

Cons of the As Time Goes By: Complete Seasons 8 and 9 DVD Collection

This is a great DVD collection to have, as it will complete your As Time Goes By series collection. The only thing that really could have made it better is more episodes and more interviews with the rest of the cast. While it may be too late to add these things now, you won’t be disappointed with this collection.
