5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe the best T.V. comedy of the early Sixties; very smart!, February 9, 1999

This review is from: Car 54 Where Are You 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Car 54, Where are you? is an extremely clever, absolutely hilarious sitcom about the misadventures of the officers in a mythical precinct in the Bronx circa 1961.

Vaudeville style humor and intelligent writing are the trademarks of this series.

Fred (Herman Munster) Gwynne, and Joe E. Ross are the stars. Their contrasting personalities and intellects are the central point of the humor.

The first episodes, (Vol. 1) are about the funniest videos this fan has ever seen. The staccato silliness, and the absurd situations make for great 25 minute viewing.

Currently, Amazon carries Vol. 1 - 6. It would be a real treat to find the subsequent seasons which added Al Lewis (Granpa Munster), and Larry Storch of "F Troop" fame. Lewis as one of the officers, and Storch as the town drunk.

All in all, one could do a lot worse for $8.99.

This review is from: Car 54 Where Are You 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

You won't be able to stop laughing. It features two cops Muldoon (quiet and easy going) and Toody (talks too much). They are best friends who are opposites. They are always getting themselves involved in unusual and hilarious situations. I own the whole 8 Vol. set and won't part with mine. Good clean humor and fun for the entire family. Volume 1 has "Who's For Swordfish? You won't belive what this pair will do for a day off to go fishing. The whole precinct is in chaos over schedule changes. "Something Nice For Sol" They can't make up their mind what to get for Sgt. Abrams 25th anniversary on the police force. When they decide, the real laughs begin. If you can only get one volume, this is a great choice.
