I really loved this movie, although it has been since it first aired, that I've seen it. I would love to see it again. Anything to do with history on America is worth seeing. I loved the settings; the time periods were tremendously done and the actors were superb. This was definitely a must see movie. I can't stress enough on the importance of this movie; the period it was done in; it's cast and what they did with the lives of those people that actually lived during this period. It is a piece of American history of which the likes will never be seen again. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to talk about a wonderful TV production.

Has Backstairs @ the White House ever been put on video(much less DVD)? I have been trying to get a copy since 1979 when NBC showed it on T.V. It is one of the greatest mini series, since Centennial, (which is an even greater series), that one I have. I have told so many people about Backstairs through the years, but no one seems to have heard of it. I was beginning to think I was crazy until It was A question(Answer) on Jeopardy. Every Presidential election year I keep hoping NBC or someone would show it, but alas! There is another excellent mini series that was on in 1984(prior to LA Olympics). It was called the 1st Olympics, all about the resurgence of the Olympics in 1896. You can see David Caruso, as an eager 19 yr old Irishman, It is so very good & a lot of humor as well as drama & of course its a true story.

This was a wonderful historical mini-series that I remember watching when I was ten years old. I hope that this comment will some how help to get it re-broadcast. I have not seen it except for the original airing in 1979. Please bring this quality program back to television.

"Backstairs at the White House" is a delicious look at the goings on inside the White House, as well as a few lessons in history. This wonderful series was only aired once to my knowledge, in 1979. This stellar production deserves to be seen again and again, as it is timeless material. Insights into the nature of our past presidents and first ladies as seen through the eyes and experiences of the household staff, offers more unbiased truth than official biographies. The humor, drama and intrigue are all there. I sure hope someone with clout will read these notes and get the message that we want a video of this glorious work.
