BRILLIANT, SIDE-SPLITTING , FUNNY & UNIQUE, August 4, 2000
This review is from: Dorf Library - Dorf Goes Fishing, Dorf Goes Auto Racing, Dorf on Golf, Dorf on the Diamond [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Tim Conway is at his best in the Dorf series of hysterically funny videos. To the previous viewer: GET a LIFE! To be "offended" by Conway's zany, original slap stick is SAD indeed. Conway is an athletic, very "physical" comedian whose extraordinary body control and convoluted antics are a commentary on the human condition, NOT a mockery of the handicapped. As an individual, Conway is a compassionate and caring (father of 6) family man, who has donated untold thousands of dollars for many charitable causes --including support for race horse jockeys who are wounded and paralyzed from accidental track accidents. A plus: Conway's DORF series is suitable for the whole family! In his long career, Conway never had to stoop to being nasty, vindictive or foul-mouthed to get a laugh (like many of today's "comedians.") Conway is a classic comedian of rare talent. Anyone with a sense of humor will love these tapes.

He's not hadicapped, he's just short!, June 6, 2002
This review is from: Dorf Library - Dorf Goes Fishing, Dorf Goes Auto Racing, Dorf on Golf, Dorf on the Diamond [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Robert F. Young appartly missed the joke. Speaking as a handicapped person myself, the only people who are truely crippled, are those who have lost the ability to laugh! I first saw'Dorf on Golf', about ten years ago. Then he was in Rome, doing the first olypics, then nothing. Tim Conway has always been funny, from Carrol Burnett, to 'The Private Eyes', he never disappoints. If this is half as funny as I remember, it's still going to be a hoot.

Ignore Robert F. Young And His Hostile Review, August 5, 2000
This review is from: Dorf Library - Dorf Goes Fishing, Dorf Goes Auto Racing, Dorf on Golf, Dorf on the Diamond [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Tim Conway is a comedic genius. Anyone who has watched his antics on the Carol Burnett show (in addition to his biography on the A & E channel) knows that Tim Conway is a good hearted, talented, and most importantly, funny man. Simply because Conway portrays a man of short stature does not mean he is making fun of physically handicapped people. In fact, Robert F. Young, I doubt you payed any attention to what you were watching, as Conway's character is in no way handicapped, he's just short (you fool).
