I'd score slightly higher than the other rater, but the liner notes on this DVD do suck. You get no clue as to what's inside, and so you may be disappointed if you buy one, on faith, off the shelf. Anyway, here's the deal with Volume #3. There's two full-length follies programs, produced by NFL Films. There's no bonus material.

1. Legends of the Follies
(title is a take off on "Legends of the Fall")
2. Follies: The Next Generation

Both films are 21st Century versions of the popular and long-running Follies series, which began in the late 1960s. If you're a Football Follies fan, you'll enjoy. I am, and I do. But I wish there were bonus material, like another edition of "Lost Treasures" series, included on other recent NFL Films DVDs.

This DVD is boring. I bought it hoping for some cool bloopers. No luck. Also, do not purchase it if you plan to watch it with children. There is inappropriate language. Even though the words are bleeped out; it doesn't take a lot to figure out what they are saying.

There's more than just stumbles and falls on this video (like a story about a super fan with disgusting 15 yr old food in the back of a breaking down Pinto), but still another fun video in the series. My young boys get a kick out of watching them, but especially enjoy the first two in the Greatest Follies Series which has more bloopers and less "stories".

I played this video and only the introduction worked. I received 2 videos and neither one worked. This video, NFL Greatest Follies is a flop, a follie-less follies of a video. That's right, a football follies video filled with no football, no football players, no footage. And watch out! If you don't stop the video, the introduction will play over and over again. What great Fun! So if you want to play a video for your children or in home pet, see how many times they will watch the introduction play over and over again before they become disinterested. Good job Amazon, for assuring great product quality. d.t.

I bought this long ago, and wasn't aware I could write a review on it here on Amazon.
The dvd is funny. I myself am a huge follies fan. I have all of the videos, and now I'm happy to start collecting the dvds.
Now, don't buy this dvd if you don't like some corny jokes, and cartoony sound effects, because that's pretty much all that this dvd has. It's a good movie to watch with your kid (if the kid is about 10 or 11).
I felt it was worth the money since it had two follies programs on the disc. If you don't ant to buy it, I think it's at least worth a rent.
