What's the deal with false advertising... If you are hoping to see some great standup by Jerry Seinfeld, forget it. You get an approximately 90-second clip. But that doesn't stop them from featuring him prominently on the cover of this DVD. The rest of the bits are so-so. Ray Romano is the best of the bunch. My advice is to rent this one, not purchse it.

Format:DVD
The description (and probably original intent) of this collection of stand-up material is promising: footage of comedians at a well-known club. Unfortunately, all was lost in the editing.

Only small snippets are shown from each comedian. First of all, this destroys much of the effort of these comedians to craft a good act. Jokes out of context are often not funny. A good comedian will organize his/her material for the best effect. By grabbing small sections of various acts, the benefits of this effort is completely lost. In the case of this collection, it seems that the editor picked out snippets that were not particularly good IN context. The end result is you see each comedian for 1-2 minutes and they are not even funny for that short period.

I daresay that most people seeing this collection on television would change channels rather quickly. This collection is not worth the time it takes to watch let alone the cost of the DVD.

HUGE waste of time. March 19, 2003
Format:DVD
The editorial review says, "A must have for collectors and all connoisseurs of comedy!" That reviewer obviously did not watch the same DVD. Although the length is listed at 60 minutes, the DVD runs only about 50 or so minutes since you only see brief parts of comic routines. Plus, Rick Overton (the host) can get quite annoying after a while. Skip this!

My true rating is half-star at best
Buyer beware, especially Seinfeld fans. Heed the other reviews. Seinfeld has a 2-minute clip. To be honest, I haven't even really watched most of the other chapters. Read more

If this is the Best of the Improv, I'm disappointed
This is a 45-minute TV special which may prominently feature Jerry Seinfeld on the cover, but in all honesty, Seinfeld fans will want to go with "I'm Telling You for the Last... Read more

Skip it
The only reason I bought this was because Paula Poundstone was on it and as of yet, there is no full-length DVD of her stand-up act. Her clip didn't even last four minutes! Read more

Waste of time
Any true stand-up fan will be disgusted by this. The headliner of the DVD, Jerry Seinfeld, tells about 3 jokes. Read more
