one of my favorite tv shows. But why do the only sell 'the best of'? they are missing some of my favorite episodes like the one with the English tutor and the one in Ethel's hometown

Double check the episodes before you buy! There are numerous omissions from the Europe episodes. If I had looked closer, I wouldn't have made this purchase.

My disappointment is that the season is not complete there are at least two episodes missing. Something I overlooked when purchasing what I thought was a full season. Ricky's European booking and bon voyage.
