Private Benjamin

I don't get the haters. No, it wasn't a Golden Globe winner but as a young person, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. And now that I'm older and feeling nostalgic, I would love to watch it again. It's nice to have a light, funny, heartwarming series to settle in and forget the real world for a while. Not everything has to be deep and meaningful. I loved the movie too and I thought the series held up to the original. I thought you could find anything on the internet these days but not so! Please bring Private Benjamin to dvd or a streaming platform!!!! I would pay to have this in my collection.

This series tried to take off the success of the movie by the same name. No such luck, maybe it was because that the TV staff could not hire Goldie Hawn to portray Private Benjamin. Even though this series has been off for nearly 20 years I still remember one of the jokes made by Captain Lewis (Eillen Breenan). Captain Lewis was explaining to Private Benjamin why the Army would not promote her to Major. " I made a big mistake. Instead of sending a hundred turkeys to a battalion, I sent a hundred battalions to Turkey"

My mom and I really enjoyed this show; especially Eileen Brennan's character as Captain Lewis. I haven't seen this show since reruns in the 80s and would love to watch this hilarious show again and again. What I enjoyed the most of this show is the interaction between Private Benjamin and Captain Lewis as Benjamin attempts to evade the watchful eye of Captain Lewis. Please bring this delightful comedy to DVD. All seasons combined!!!!

All I'm here for tonight is to say that I'd rather like to see this one again. This week I've been watching MAJOR MOVIE STAR with Jessica Simpson, and it falls short of Goldie Hawn's PRIVATE BENJAMIN in many ways. I have only vague memories of the TV- series, but I think that too could kick sand into the 'more major movie' that really just should have been a whole lot more, it if was to be a major improvement.

Reading the reviews here, I do believe my objective here is entirely useless. No amount of nagging can resurrect something that has clearly been written off even by the few of you who remember it and bothered to correspond. Downloading attempts can't get to first base as the target doesn't even exist, except for the montage. The TV series' fans are all deserters. Standing alone, with no American backing me up,I can do naught but surrender and raise the white flag. My platoon's wiped out. Lorna's PRIVATE BENJAMIN cannot be saved, it falls to viewer apathy.

Really, was it as bad as you're making it out to be? There is considerably worse junk floating out there gobbled up by you ingrates.

I enjoyed the movie, and the series wasn't half-bad for an 80s sitcom. Sure, it wasn't Cheers but so what. It was funny and I enjoyed watching this alongside Donahue.
