[Afamilyatwar-list] Now What???

[Scott Filderman]

My wife and I have just completed our viewing of the entire series, and I want to compliment Mr. Finch for his magnificent achievement. His writing staff, crew, and actors created a true contribution to television history. The quality of writing, production, and acting still resonates powerfully after nearly 50 years. The only other series in my experience to linger have been the original Forsyte Saga (might Soames be the spiritual ancestor of Sefton???) and the Danish Matador, all three being family dramas along broad social and economic lines. AFAW was my introduction to so many fine actors, whose recorded work I have gone on to investigate (e.g., Colin Douglas in Pickwick Papers), even though much of it is lost to the ages. Again, a wonderful achievement, when TV executives were still interested in Art as one path to Commerce.
     Now I’m suffering Sefton Withdrawal....Where is my Episode One disc?....
