I will admit that at first I was expecting another cheaply made public domain video. But instead what I found was actually an enjoyable little tape! The commercials are cut into the show (and are not the originals as the DVD Show was sponsored by Kent Cigarettes, not Camels) but the true value is the show itself. The two episodes, "Hustling a Hustler" and "Bank Book 6565696," are some-what classics of the series. (Especially "Bank Book," though it isn't as popular as an episode like "Coast To Coast Big Mouth" or the ever-popular "That's My Boy?!?") The prints of the two shows are not the standard "public domain" versions that you fine, and are actually very nice clean prints. Overall, if you're looking for just a nice, comfortable laugh at a reasonable price, this is a good tape for you to check out.

This is a super buy on this video. Two great episodes PLUS vintage commercials. This is a must for anybody who loves classic television. The first episode is entitled "Hustling the hustler" aired 10/24/62. Buddy's brother, (a pool shark) is in town and gets Rob into a game of pool and Rob doesn't know he's a shark until they bet real money, the results are a true classic. Next is called "Bank Book 6565696", aired 10/17/62 Rob finds Laura's bank book (by accident of course), showing she has money he knows nothing about and with the help of Jerry, Sally, and Buddy poor Rob doesn't know what to think of Laura's hidden loot. Everything he does think turns out to be wrong. Don't let this video go by. Get it and enjoy.

Two great episodes from the best classic TV show of all time! Both episodes are hilarious, I can't decide which one I like best, I guess I like them both equally! Hustling The Hustler which has Buddy's pool shark brother tricking Rob into playing against him is very funny and Phil Leeds is great as Buddy's brother, also in this episode Buddy learns that not every thing is what it seems and not to assume too much! The other episode about Rob finding Laura's secret bank book is very funny and is another episode filled with misunderstandings and what happens when someone makes assumptions and jumps to the wrong conclusion!
