Michael Nesmith (nee of The Monkees, the one with the Stan of 'South Park'-esque wool cap) has created another in a proud line of off-the-wall sketch comedy movies, in the proud tradition of "The Groove Tube" and others. Most of it is forgettable (although cameos by Nesmith and Dick Cavett are amusing), but there is one shining light, a standard of true video bar afficianadoes - "Sorority Girls from Hell." One woman plays all the parts retelling her rendition of a bad 50's movie, including Irma, our erstwhile heroine; and the leader of the leather-clad, white-lipsticked sorority girls. If you've ever seen anyone lean back and forth singing "Dant Dan-Dant! Dant Dan-Dant! Dant Dan-Dant!" you'll understand. Alas, it's out of print on video, but it was released at one point on laserdisc, so video copies are presumably available. Please, Mr. Nesmith - re-release this classic!

I had seen this highly entertaining film quite a few years ago and had never forgotten it or the brilliance of Michael Nesmith. Since acquiring a large 55 inch TV and a Blu-Ray recorder/player, I have been trying to acquire many of the older, enjoyable films from yesteryear - Dr. Ducks Super Secret All-Purpose Sauce certainly filled that niche. I was pleased with the purchase and would not hesitate to deal with this very courteous seller again.

Included many of my favorites from the show, the "5 second" movies and concerts. Also included many of the "deep thoughts" segments. But the Seinfeld segment is not there, they show about 5 seconds of it. also missing is the street musician bit, and a few others that were my favorites. The Whoopi Goldberg segments are both included, yet they weren't funny the first time, so I guess she was included just because of her name. Also missing is "Eldorado To The Moon" probably my favorite video from the whole series. Also, "I'll Remember You" video is missing.
