Yep, I remember my Mom in the late 1960's being just devastated when that show finally finished, no VCRs back then
I saw one episode replayed some years later and this was GREAT TV!
Reviewing the Forsyte Saga will reinforce one sad fact; TV has been arround for decades and very seldom has produced shows of this quality
One things for sure, people loved that show, and thats just the shot in the arm the medium needed back then (just like I Love Lucy in the States; everyone with eyes and ears and a TV tuned in)
Patrick McGoohan in "The Prisoner" series, and Dennis Potters "Singing Detective" and "Pennies from Heaven" series (not to be confused with the wretched Steve Martin film) were also awesome
The Magic seldom strikes, TV is a much abused medium
