Name me a better comedy-drama., 13 September 2004

Author: ashleymark83 from Cheltenham, England, UK.

'At Home With The Braithwaites' was fantastic, but lacked the warmth; 'The Darling Buds of May' was lovely, but lacked the realism; 'Cold Feet' just had it all.....

Often compared to 'Friends' which I view as a two-dimensional, superficial string of only-occasionally-funny-but-more-so-puerile-gags aimed at the teenage market, 'Cold Feet' was so much more than this. Mike Bullen created and wrote with stunning ingenuity an intelligent, warm, funny, sad, tragic, weird-at-times-yet-deep-down realistic piece of quality comedy-drama. I have yet to see something of the same genre supersede or even match its standards of acting, writing and direction. Absolutely wonderful.

Great British Series, 27 August 2002
Author: DTL (dtlfl@aol.com)

COLD FEET which can be seen in the USA on the BRAVO channel has the edgy quality of HBO's SEX AND THE CITY another favorite of mine. It

follows the ups and downs of three British couples and their relationships. Kind of British THIRTYSOMETHING although at least one of the couples is on the forty side of thirty.

It surely is better than most anything shown on American Network tv and worth checking out.

The best comedy of the 90s and hopefully of 2000!, 12 March 2000
Author: chris.weir (chris.weir@dial.pipex.com) from Swindon, England

This is the best comedy of the 1990's and hopefully continue strong in to 2000. It makes its american counter-part Friends like a childish sitcom. Cold Feet is the best drama/comdey in a long time that only the british could do best. The script is razor sharpe, the actors are easy to ID with and the plot is fast full of twist and very sexy

funniest comedy on television [ including FRIENDS ] !, 6 December 1998
Author: ROK

Cold feet a comedy about couples, sex, love, families & sex...they seem to like sex...........then again who doesn't!!

This is British comedy better than its best, this is COMEDY at its best. It'll stand against all others. And this is not only because the gorgeous Helen Baxendale is in it.

The series starts 6 months after the one off play finished. All the couples are still together [ just ] despite the best attempts of Parenthood, sex problems [ told you they liked it ] money troubles and a forgotten Wedding, i won't tell you whose if you haven't seen it yet.

This is comedy for grown ups, not only because of the racy content, both visual & verbal, but because it makes you think as well as laugh.

Watch it you'll LOVE IT. And it must have done a wonder for the sale of roses!

The Midlands ?, 3 December 2004
Author: aqqs10 from Manchester, England

Cold Feet was set in the north west of England, in Manchester, not the Midlands.

We found it just as good as everyone has said. Funny, touching, sad, and well acted & staged. So much so that we bought the full DVD set when it finished.

The only thing that I would say is that it seemed to use many of the situations that were used in 'thirtysomething' ( finest ensemble drama series ever !), and sometimes came very close to the actual stories in 'ts'. You could say that thius was natural, dealing with the same type of people, but it was a bit naughty.

A great show!...but too sad final, 4 September 2003
Author: marcos-ledezma from Oslo

Well what can I say?. A wonderful sitcom. Human, funny, warm. It has made me laugh and certainly made cry. It sounds maybe stupid but as the show runs you become familiar with the characters and the persons. The final is too tragic...I never thought I would cry in front of my TV. I'm gonna miss all those fictive people...

The best TV-show ever!

Great series, 27 April 2003
Author: Thijs Roes from Den Bosch, Netherlands

Cold Feet is a witty TV-series about three couples, which evolved from being a clever sitcom to (one of) the best series about couples in their thirties there is. It leaves all the American series seem like fast-food comedy.

Next week our network will be showing the very last episode of the series. A lot has happened in this last season, which made it more "soapy" than the previous seasons.

The acting and casting is great. The humour is original, innovation and clever all at once. I used to watch it with my brother and parents, and then with my girlfriend. It's humour for all generations.

Oh how I will miss watching at Adam, Rachel, David, Jenny, Pete, Jo and Karen.

Just can't get enough!, 11 August 2006

Author: moo_chew-1 from United Kingdom

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I absolutely adore this programme! It gives a wonderful insight into the everyday life of a group 30-something year olds trying to cope with life in middle-class Manchester. Struggling with the ups and downs such as marriage, infidelity, divorce, birth and ultimately death. I decided after being glued to my TV for 5 years to go and buy the boxset, and I've lost track of how many times I've watched the DVDs. The acting is excellent, the story lines bittersweet and all topped off with an ideal soundtrack. If there were programmes like this still on the telly, there would be a lot more love in the world! Mike Bullen I salute you for bringing us the best TV programme of the 90s, you managed to make me laugh and cry in the space of an hour!

some spoilers

it has everything, comedy, fantasies, tragedy, and is real to life with divorce, affairs, birth and true love.

the core of it is the love of rachel and adam they crashed cars in a car park to them moving in, splitting up getting married trying for kids,finding out they can't have children, adoption and rachel finally having there baby and then to her early death

i liked the characters there real life and theres no one like it on all of television history, i liked jo and rachel but my fave is adam.

Brilliant a must watch!, 14 February 2008

Author: keesh911-1 from United Kingdom

This program is excellent, no idea what hexa-2 is on about, midlands?? the program is set in Manchester for starters not the midlands, idiot!

All the characters are brilliant actors pull off each role perfectly, watched the whole series and would suggest it to any one who wants the English version of friends. Slightly different to friends its more realistic and its British so much better! The main story starts off about characters Adam and Rachael but by series 2 the whole cast are involved in the main story lines.

Finished in 2003 there are 5 series to watch with about 6 -8 episodes in each. Can buy the box set in most DVD shops for about 20-30 pounds.
