Although I like Larry King and his style of interviewing guests I was disappointed that this set of DVDs jumps from one person to another and then back again instead of showing the whole interview in its entirety. What I saw on TV as an advertisement is exactly how the DVD is so I guess I got what they portrayed, except that I thought that the TV ad was snippets of the DVD and not the actual DVD.

Interview for each person should be presented in its entirety for continuity of thought. The tape jumps from say Sinatra, to Clinton, to Johnny Cash, Bush, Reagan, Hilary, etc. etc..back and forth back and forth. The format does not make things interesting.

I gave this two stars because it was released at all. I think atleast ONE full episode maybe of the first episode in 1985 should have been included. Let alone, i should have been able to choose what interviews i wanted to see, you cant even skip chapters to various interviews without missing tons! I was very disappointed with this DVD and returned it.

Well, I'm disappointed with the "Larry King Interviews" dvds. I've only watched part of the first disc, which is the one with entertainers, but disappointed with the presentation.

The quality is great, but there is no scene selection or scene guide to any of the interviews, mainly because there are no complete full interviews with any of the people he talks to. Just a hodgepodge of clips with the celebrities talking about whatever the subject is that he introduces (relationships, success, etc).

I'm sorry I bought this, I should have stayed with my original plan to rent it.

Oh well, that's the way it goes.

I ve been impressed with the first two discs so far. Its what Larry King is all about..nothing really too in-depth and a its a nice walk down memory lane. The second disc really brought back some of the big news stories over the years. I ve always enjoyed Larry Kings interviews and this collection does not dissapoint.

Last week XM radio devoted an entire channel to Larrys interviews over the years, and I taped as much as I could. These are a little more in depth. As much as I would have enjoyed full hour long interviews on some of his topics on these DVDs, I am enjoying the set, nonetheless

I have always liked larry King but to sitback & to watch this D V D is to realize a couple of things one that I am not as young as used to be but more importantly I realize how much I have experianced in my Life.

I would truly invite & encourage people to pick this up as it is a great way to relive History with the younger members of there family.

I started seeing Larry King Hour on CNN in last 3 years or so until he retired.His interviews were fascinating especially the Lady Gaga one.This DVD set does not do justice to his career.Should have taken cue from Oprah Winfrey her DVD set is fabulous.

Here we have small clips of interviews rolled into one that leave you high and dry,irritated and tugging hair on your head on your folly in purchasing this set even after reading negative reviews.In certain case their is no introduction to whose interview we are seeing its extremely dismal.Avoid it like poison.

As many people suspected this set does Not include full footage interviews, which sort of make sense, it would take 20 sets to present most of the full interviews thru the many years, but they present the best moments and footage of fun and important moments in the topic of the interview, my very favorite is the disc about the presidents, footage of the Reagan scare as well of Gerald Ford,.interview to John Kennedy Jr. I find it very nice to watch and is a good and entertaining trip to memory lane.

This set is a lot of fun. It's like a "Greatest Hits" music CD which you'd pull out every now and then. Interesting to see how guests have aged since way back when....

Seeing some of his interviews as a podcast I ordered the DVD and it's really worth the money - a great interviewer, not more to say. As always, amazon rocks!
