5.0 out of 5 stars Essential TV Comedy, February 19, 2009

This review is from: The Best of Eddie Murphy: Saturday Night Live (Unrated Version) (VHS Tape)

Eddie Murphy's recent movies (apart from his Oscar-nominated turn in "Dreamgirls") almost make you forget the comic brilliance of his "Saturday Night Live" period. Regrettably out of print, this compilation includes many of Murphy's funniest sketches from the 1981-84 seasons. Buckwheat, Velvet Jones, Mr. Robinson and Little Richard Simmons are back in all their glory - not to mention Eddie's on-target impersonations of Bill Cosby, Stevie Wonder and Jesse Jackson. The "James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub" skit is priceless, but there's no Gumby, dammit! Still, the Paramount video remains far superior to the botched DVD version.

Eddie is soooo funny as Buckwheat, James Brown as Annie, etc. I owned it on VHS when it was first released back in the day, this tape is just "Old School" funny. D1027 MI.

I love this, watched it many times.........but my VCR was history years ago, so out went all my old VHS tapes. I just don't understand how hard would it be to make this available on DVD. Boo.
