Thanks for the post. It looks like a good resource and there are not many free video series for language learning. I also like the fact that the storyline appears to be the same for all languages which would make this a good resource for someone learning multiple languages.
Edit: they have the series in English, French, Spanish and German.

I posted about this series a couple months ago. I asked it then, and I'll ask again: does anyone have the transcripts? The DVD has transcript PDFs, and I'd love to have access to them (the DVD is no longer available).
EDIT:
Here is another link to a version which is lower in quality, but on which you can put on the subtitles in English (or Russian).

I have used these for both French and German - by downloading them from YouTube and
making DVDs of them. The are excellent input.
Transcripts and exercises for all the languages can also be found on:

Click on each episode and look for transcripts.

I would also recommend the BBC's Deutsch Plus for German learners

Transcripts are here:

and the BBC's French Experience for French learners:

and also Muzzy, if you can watch a child's cartoon:

That is strange - because it works with my computer - maybe I have a cookie somewhere
that makes it work.
Try this and click on the flag of choice and then the '18' on the next page:
