Editorial Reviews

It's tough to debate talk show host Johnny Carson's position at the top of TV Land and Entertainment Weekly's list of "The 50 Greatest TV Icons." Outranking everyone from Carol Burnett to William Shatner the late-night legend earned his place by reigning over the midnight hour for 30 years. For the fan of Carson's comedy (and who isn't?) this exhaustive collection features four titles packaged together: TIMELESS MOMENTS FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW THE ORIGINAL ULTIMATE COLLECTION STAND-UP COMEDIANS and CARSON COUNTRY. This set features appearances from Don Rickles Ellen DeGeneres Jimmy Stewart Bob Newhart Jerry Seinfeld John Wayne and more of Carson's beloved guests.System Requirements:Running Time: 1102 minutes Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 823753350099 Manufacturer No: 35009

5.0 out of 5 stars Same great stuff...just the same for less., October 29, 2007

This review is from: Heeere's Johnny - The Definitive DVD Collection from The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson (DVD)

Wish this box set existed a year ago when I bought two of the Johnny Carson collections: The Ultimate Collection & Timeless Moments. For those of you who don't own any Carson yet, you should definitely think about getting Heeere's Johnny. I love the two sets that I already have and I suppose you'd actually be getting a lot more here for less than I paid. My only complaint is that there's no new material that is never-before-seen in the other collections

This review is from: Heeere's Johnny - The Definitive DVD Collection from The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson (DVD)

Johnny Carson was awesome...but he was on TV for decades. So why does this company continue to rehash the same stuff, only with different packaging? The Carson Tonight Show years were vast and they could be releasing so much MORE content, but instead it's the same clips over and over again. I bought the "Ultimate Collection" originally and LOVED it. Then, they changed the box cover which seemed to be misleading to fans as though it was something different. Now, this mega-box includes the "Ultimate Collectin" AGAIN! If you are a Johnny fan like me, then you may have purchased the DVDs that were only available through the Carson Club on his website. Well, be warned...all of those titles that were supposedly exclusive to the Carson Club are also in this box! My guess is the die-hard Carson fans have every bit of this material already. Check what you have and know what this is beofre you spend a dime!

This review is from: Heeere's Johnny - The Definitive DVD Collection from The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson (DVD)

I was thrilled to see the "Heeere's Johnny" DVD collection released on Amazon.com. I was able to pre-order the set for $69.99 and I received it just one day after the official release date. My wife and I have been slowly working our way through the collection, one DVD at a time. Johnny is an icon and legend of late night television. This collection does a great job of spanning much of Johnny's years of being the Tonight Show host. However, the picture and sound quality is sometime quite bad. The overall picture quality is average at best. I would have thought that the old video would have gone through some sort of restoration process. Obviously this isn't the case in this collection. There are some scenes that flicker and have lines running through them, and the sound sometimes becomes garbled. Another dissapointment is that this collection has no specific order. There is no way to easily work your way from oldest to newest, or in any other manner. This collection is actually made up of several other collections. One of the included collections is made entirely of stand-up commedian guests that appeared on The Tonight Show. I bought this to watch Johnny, not to see a young Jerry Seinfeld, or the early (and yet still irritating) years of Rosanne Baar.

Overall this is an excellent collection of Johnny Carson's golden years in television. I just wish it was better organized, had more clips of Johnny himself, and wish the video and audio had gone through some sort of restoration process. For the money this is definately a good buy, if you are a die hard Carson fan. =o)
