The Best of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In Reviews:
worst value of all TV shows on DVD
2009-08-31 - This "best of" edition has to be the ultimate rip-off of any TV show released on DVD. 6 EPISODES ONLY, and at an extremely high price. It's too bad, because I would have loved to have had "Laugh In" as part of my collection, but not in this form. I am not a fool, and my money will NOT soon part.


Rowan & Martin's Laugh In
2009-07-05 - Great DVD - not quite as funny as we remembered them when first watching them back in "the days" - good quality - quick ship - thank you

Love that Judy
2008-09-26 - A great series that was #1 for several years. Enjoyed everything about the show, the cast for the first 2 years was its best. I especially enjoyed Judy Carne, the naughty girl in the cast. She never wore a bra and reportedly was a little high in a number of her skits, a true free spirited gal of the sixties. Loved her adorable face, wicked cute cockney accent and what a teriffic pair of legs, she and mini skirts were made for one another.Laughing on the Outside, Crying on the Inside (The Bittersweet Saga of the Sock-it-to-me Girl)

Why just the best of?
2008-05-25 - I like to collect old television series, the complete whole series. These best of collections are such a waste of money compared to the ones that are sold in whole season series. I like most people, I assume, don't want just what the executives think are funny or good episodes, not for those prices. It's the same with the Sonny & Cher Show and countless others. Save your money and wait for the complete season episodes to come out.


great but WAY too short--why didn't they release it all ???
2008-05-05 - The Best of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (1968) is very good--but only as far as it goes. This three DVD set wastes space on the discs; we only get a few episodes and even then I strongly suspect that one or two of these episodes were trimmed down a little. The picture quality is excellent, admittedly; and the sound is good. We get three bonus interviews (one on each of the three DVDs) with Gary Owns, Ruth Buzzi and Arte Johnson.

The jokes are very funny; Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In took huge risks for its time to make audiences howl with laughter. I remember it was a big deal if we children were allowed to watch it! These episodes give us the famous Lily Tomlin act as Ernestine the telephone operator, the swinger's party were jokes with many innuendos were told ostensibly off the cuff; and the dialogue between Rowan and Martin themselves is very well written and performed.

There are several celebrity sightings on these DVDs; I liked Tiny Tim despite the fact that his act was rather bizarre; and the episode on DVD number three includes the full show that guest starred Jack Benny. Jack Benny fits in perfectly on this show; he tells jokes and gets set-up by the regular cast of Laugh-In with hilarious results.

The regular cast never fails to pitch out those jokes that even today have some very funny punch lines. Look for Goldie Hawn, Alan Sues, Judy Carne, Jo Anne Worley and Lily Tomlin (among others) to make the shows here on DVD very entertaining and funny.

Unfortunately, my main gripe (and it's a big one) is that there's just not enough here. Where are all the other shows from the first two seasons? Why do we get only four or five episodes at the most here? This is very disappointing and I will take off two stars for this flaw to make this a three star review.

Overall, Laugh-In was hilarious. This three DVD set proves it. Unfortunately, what we get is so good it can frustrate me--and others--that we didn't get so much more from the first season or two. Hopefully Rhino will eventually see the light and produce a proper retrospective of this fine series complete on DVD. This is even too short to be called a "best of" Laugh-In DVD set. Sigh.
