5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, March 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Colgate Comedy Hour: Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis Show (7-tape boxed set) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This seven tape set is of outstanding quality and is a must own for Martin and Lewis fans. These shows include some very, very funny moments that prove that Martin and Lewis were the best comedy team of all time. The live broadcasts capture more of the "Magic" these two performers had when they were entertaining than the Martin and Lewis movies do. You can see in the viewings of these tapes the fun these two guys had when they were together on stage performing. I hope the rest of the Martin and Lewis television programs eventually become available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than many of their films, July 13, 1999

This review is from: Colgate Comedy Hour: Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis Show (7-tape boxed set) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Here's a great look at Martin and Lewis unrestrained by movie scripts and endless takes. This is live tv and amazing stuff, even 50 years after it was made. Lewis is manic, scarey, mean, vicious and hilarious. Martin is himself - laid back, funny and with that beautiful voice. The lowlight is seeing Jerry's Dad sing. What a ham and it's a great laugh to hear Martin intro him and say he's on not because he's Jerry's Dad, but b/c he's a talented singer in his own right -- yea...right! Anyway, each show ends with a great short version of what I can only imagine was the insantiy of their stage show. Brilliant, but seven hours is toooo short.

This boxed set is really worth watching.It will make you laugh uncontrollably,at least that's the effect it had on me.Just knowing Jerry Lewis is coming on stage is enough to start the laughter.The segments at the end where they sing with the band are my favorites.
