The Best of Primetime Glick Reviews:
Therapy in a Box
2009-11-29 - I've always had a love-hate attitude toward Hollywood. I loved the imaginative, creative side of it all, but this fun side was always dampened somewhat by the self-important aloofness of the industry and the obsession with fame at the cost of substance. Enter Jiminy Glick, Martin Short's own Frankenstein Monster, to wreak havoc upon this pretension like a bull in a china shop. Unfortunately, I missed much of this show when it first came out, and was very happy to learn that some of it had been immortalized on DVD.

"Primetime Glick" gives Martin Short a venue in which to unfurl his comedic genius like none other. His old SCTV cronies are always on hand to contribute to the laughs, and skits like Lalawood Fables remind us of the town's sordid past, lest it take itself too seriously. The celebrity guests are fun to watch, taken off guard as they are by the impertinent questioning.

My only critique would be that this didn't come as a box-set, because there was much much more I would have liked to have seen. The menu was also a bit cryptic and I had trouble hopping from chapter to chapter. I hope that the rest of this series will soon make it to DVD also, because I would love to have the entire collection.

GREAT START, NOW WHERE'S THE REST?!?
2007-12-05 - Martin Short's Jiminy Glick is a great character that parodies bad late night talk show hosts and self-centered interviewers/news folks who often make the story more about themselves than what/who they're actually talking about. This is a great character and I could (and have) watch the interviews over and over again and always pick up something new. There's so many funny little things and quirks to this character, I find myself continuing to enjoy this DVD. It seems Short's goal is to crack up his guests with unexpected questions and comments during the interviews. And that is really saying something when you're talking about Jerry Seinfeld, Ben Stiller, Steve Martin, etc. These guys are top notch comedians and Short's ability to make them laugh proves just how great he is.

So my only complaint is:

Why aren't the rest of the seasons out on DVD?

Hopefully someday...but in the meantime, enjoy this sampling of a great show.

Skewering What Needs to be Skewered
2005-12-28 - Martin Short's Jiminy Glick character is what television needs in our age of celebrity worship. A sweaty, gluttonous, oblivious, clumsy, clueless interviewer who backhands his guests so deftly that I think they even miss out on the diss.

My favorite interview is with Jerry Seinfeld, another brilliant comedian who can think fast on his feet and keeps up with Short. That segment is gold.
(Although it's not on this DVD, one of my favorite Jiminy questions was put to Mel Brooks on another show, "So what's your beef with the Nazis?").

I also find Mrs. Gathercole (Short made up as Jiminy's ancient, crotchety fan) hilarious, whether she's soiling herself and throwing her bloomers at her abused nurse or shouting out "FORNICATE!"

Like all sketch comedy, some of it can be hit and miss depending on your tastes. But when Jiminy hits, it's a homerun.

Martin Short's the best
2005-09-04 - I've always found Martin Short funny, but now he takes funny to a different level. He's normally quick anyway, but playing the lovable and yet annoying Jiminy, he's a whole new kind of quick and brings the humour up a couple of notches. How the interviewees don't crack up all the time is amazing. I'd be on the floor if it were me. This is excellent and I highly recomend this. There are great appearances by some great actors and it's very very entertaining.

Funny, worth the buy, but not THAT great ;)
2005-08-02 - I love Martin Short as Jiminy Glick. There's nothing funnier than a funny fat guy. I don't know how much of those interviews are improv, but if any of it is, it's great. Martin Short has classic one liners, and comebacks. I wouldn't rate this DVD as GREAT, but certainly worth the buy. I forget how much I paid, but it wasn't much; and it produced laughter many times....Enough said ;)
