This DVD offers some great episodes of Flip, notably Muhammad Ali and a great scene with Marty Feldman. The design of the disk from the fun FBI logo through to the music and applause behind the main menu maintain the light entertaining integrety of everything Flip's show stood for. The quality of picture and sound are excellent considering the age of these shows. Direct accessabilty to Guest stars is a convieniant feature I wish more DVDs released with classic shows, would employ.

I remember when Flip Wilson started his shows on TV; it's been over 30 years now and I was just a child, but, to me each Thursday night, it was a treat as well as a privilege(couldn't watch it unless I did homework and learned my multiplication tables)to watch; but, now, I find that folks forgot what a great show that was all those years ago; To get this DVD is just a trip to remember all the great shows now that he is gone and to keep the memory alive; See, Flip had a heck of characters on that show; but I feel the most famous one was Geraldine ("Watch it sucker"). Child, if that show didn't have Geraldine on that night, folks would be sorely disappointed. And when his show ended, he didn't put the shows in syndication; so the memories dimmed; I was soo glad that someone convinced him to put them shows back on; It was a true sin to just put them shows somewhere where no one could watch them; so I am real glad that these shows are available; My mom bought this one and plan to get the rest because we want to remember the man who kept us laughing on Thursday nights on Channel 4(NBC) in NYC;

This is a great Video, however, the bonus episode ( with Marty Feldman, Howard Cosell and Sandy Duncan ) was out of sync.on the audio. It isn't funny to hear the words and watch the mouths move after the fact. Could this be just on my disk - haven't heard any other comments about this problem...Buy it, anyway-it's that good,totally.

Flip wilson was a Ground Breaking Brother.His Show paved a way for many shows that followed.great having Muhammad Ali on this episode.also Marty Feldman is on here. cool bonus footage as well. Flip was versatile&His show was always interesting in the writing&overall Creativity.

I use to watch this show with my family as a kid. I don't believe a person who's not familiar with this show or similar shows from this era will enjoy this.

I enjoyed seeing Muhammad Ali and other celebrity guests from the 70's. My daughter has never seen a young Muhammad Ali and can't relate to how popular he was at this time. While younger people who've watched Martin Lawrence's Shanana character may not realize she is an updated version of Flip's Geraldine, they probably will enjoy watching Shanana more than Geraldine.

I have not managed to see all of it, but what I have
seen, it seems great. I purchased this because
Johnny Mathis is on one of them, but the rest is also great.
I love thes old tv-shows
The quality is good, the delivery was ok, and I am pleased.
I believe that I bought it used, but it looks quite new.

Flip Wilson D V D's are totally some of the best entertainment. Enjoyed by all my family
even my teen age grandchildren.

I really enjoyed this DVD. My only regret is, that Flip only made 3 DVDs.

I love Flip Wilson but this dvd was a bit dissapointing. He played Geraldine but where is Rev. Leroy?
