5.0 out of 5 stars
Finally, a DVD with SNL material from Shearer, Short and Crystal!, July 31, 2006
This review is from: Harry Shearer: Now You See It (DVD)
"Harry Shearer: Now You See It" features a calvacade of sketches satirizing both showbiz, news and politics. "Men's Synchronized Swimming" (albeit with a slightly altered soundtrack) and "Mike Wallace Investigates Minkman Novelties" alone are worth the price of the DVD. In addition to the SNL material, there are some decent cable specials and sketches, with "Astounding Innovations" (featuring Shearer as Richard Nixon hocking infommercial stain remover) and "The Magic of Live" (with Shearer sending up Michael Jackson) as stand-outs.

Seen The SNL Stuff, March 19, 2006
This review is from: Harry Shearer: Now You See It (DVD)
Wow, finally a DVD of Saturday Night Live from the mid-80's from someone other than Eddie Murphy! I've seen the swimming sequence with Martin Short at least a hundred times. This alone makes it well worth the price.
Harry Shearer is hilarious in the Sixty Minutes Spoof. Seems pretty strange/weird that it's being released just went Mike Wallace is retiring.
I'm going to place this on my wish list, and hope that someone buys it for me as part of a wedding gift. I'm getting married in July!

Why put out such a shoddy DVD?, December 19, 2006
This review is from: Harry Shearer: Now You See It (DVD)
I must agree with everyone who has posted reviews on Netflix, this is a really shoddy product. It's really lame to put out a DVD with 9 old sketches with zero introduction, zero information about who, what, where, when. Damn, Harry, it's really sad to see such a poor quality product being put out there. Fortunately, Christopher Guest and Martin Short are in a few of the sketches and are excellent. If you want to see good comedy on a worthwhile DVD check out Best in Show, This Is Spinal Tap, and A Mighty Wind.
