This is an EXCELLENT DVD for bloopers fans. The commentary/host is wonderful, and the bloopers themselves will have you laughing until your sides hurt. There are no stupid or silly bloopers here--just good, old-fashioned mess-ups caught on camera! This DVD deserves an A+!

The bloopers are a mix of some really hilarious goofs, some pretty amusing goofs, and some boring ones. The majority are either hilarious or amusing...making the DVD pretty entertaining for the price. The 'camera position' bloopers are the best...they had everyone watching rolling on the floor with laughter. I like the News Bloopers better than movie bloopers...just because 'hometown' newscasters are closer to 'regular people' than big movie actors.

Extremely boring and nothing funny about it all. Perhaps a nine year old might find this funny, but I doubt it.

Nothing I'd want to see more than once, but worth the current price of about

$2. It's better than some of the other bloopers DVDs in that it doesn't give you

long, unfunny introductions. A word or two, and then the clips - that's a plus.

We have literally watched this probably a half dozen times and still laugh at it. Funnier than movie/TV bloopers, these are mishaps that often went out on the air over live newscasts. I have the VHS version, and if this is the one with the ostriches checking out a newsman, that one alone is worth the price. We loved the segment where the cameras went crazy and did things they weren't supposed to.

There are some really funny scenes in this DVD, but they are only from a few affiliates:

BBC

KHSL- Chico, Calif

KSBY- San Luis Obispo, Calif

KEZI - Eugene, Ore

KTVE- West Monroe, La.

KVIA - El Paso, Texas

Unratable for the following reasons but probably deserves 5 stars:

This is hardly a review since I haven't been able to watch these two DVD's. The reason is that Amazon USA never indicates if you're buying DVD's which are playable in Europe (Region 2). This should be clearly stated in the info accompanying the disks on the Amazon website. I guess I am forced to return the Blooper DVD's but in my mind it's an unnecessary hazzle. By the way, I bought a couple of other disks and they worked fine. Please correct this and save the international (Icelandic) buyer a lot of money and time. Halldor Halldorsson
